let the abuse begin

[Doo]

All i was pointing out was that the system has a built in method, that when coupled with a player report, can result in action. Hell, it can happen even if the player who got booted doesn't make the report, Since the system will have made the report anyways.

I wonder if it will be as effective as reporting a botter.

Beyond people speculating whether or not people will get punished if they abuse the system or not... which I have yet to see anyone punished for something other than RMT... but sure, let's say that the punishment will be horrible just for... yea

But! How about those people the decide your group sucks and demand to be kicked so they don't get a penalty? I don't want to use my cooldown to kick people that are just wanting to avoid that, but I suppose I'll have to. "Ermagerd I know this tank and they a baddie! I'm too leet for dis partah! Kick meh nao or I will wipe you all over and over! /tantrum" If that happens, which I'm sure will happen more often than legitimate use of it, when the afk player shows up, I probably won't be able to kick them...

Edit: I did fail to mention the "kick for harassment" option, but really is throwing a tantrum really harassment? If they are screaming and complaining like a child to get kicked on purpose, I don't see how that they are falling under the TOS description of harassment. If you read it, you'll notice the highlights are swearing... >.>

Found my answer in patch notes. If you are kicked out not by choice you do not suffer the 30 minute lockout.

P.S. How do you delete a post you made once it is made? I've seen other posts deleted.

Don't delete posts you already did, just add an EDIT: at the end and correct yourself, for example you found the answer to your doubt/question, so you add it on the edit.

Regardless, if you wanna delete it click on edit and then a button that says delete will appear next to the others (such as applying changes etc).

Btw, don't just delete the full text imo, it's weird :P (and it causes troubles when a troll does it, but don't worry about it though xD, it's nice still not modifying much what you have already posted since people have probably already seen it.

Also for anyone who didnt read it, you do not get a time penalty if you get kicked.

The kick option was sorely needed I have been in way to many groups where one player either refuses to participate (afk's completely and its not hard to change the channel on your tv or open a new window and every so often hit your jump button to avoid the afk kick) trolls or belittles others (people freaking for people watching cutscenes) or just are plain not capable of completing the content (dont mind teaching people dungeons but when you take 90% of all demon walls black strips for 45mins straight there is nothing I can do to help you anymore).

I figure that the abuse will be a lot less than its utility but I am a little disappointed how strict the kick lockouts are.I mean sometimes helping out in CM there are up to 2-3 people who simply decide to sit at the start and not participate. Yes I could shout in Mor Dhona but I am not someone who is all ZOMG NEED THIS CLEARED NAOW. I am someone who likes a relaxed atmosphere doesnt mind teaching people and will try my best to stick out to the very end but sometimes you need more than 1 kick in a day (some days I run 15+ dungeons just to help people out) and without the option to kick I am less inclined to help new people. Especially since now with the extended lockout people are not just going to leave they are simply going to rage and afk at the start until you are forced to kick them.
