And so begins the Vote-kick abuse

[Naberrie]

how did they vote kick? Thought you couldnt vote kick when you entered a duty with a friend

No, you can't do Commendations when entering a Duty with a friend.

This pretty much means whenever someone asks you what you rolled you should always lie with a very small number. There are 3 possible outcomes:

1. They think you're lying and kick you (and if they're that paranoid they should've just kicked you without asking).
2. They fall for it, you win, and then get kicked.
3. They fall for it, but you didn't win. But since they asked for your roll, it probably means they need you in some way anyway. If not, these jerks probably will be quitting after they win anyway, so the fact that you showed your hand doesn't matter, because the jerks will either be kicking you or quitting most of the time.

This is a punishable offense. Report them for cheating.

Indeed, please report them and if possible, tell us of their fate.

honestly? since we were talking about CT specifically, I'd probably tell them a fake 'reasonable' number and hope whoever wants the item has a higher number (I'd probably say 20-something)
and then I quit the run after loot distribution, no matter if I won or not. when someone asks then they OBVIOUSLY want .my. loot, and I don't 'roll' like that. since I plan on only running endgame with at least a tank or healer friend of mine, they can see how that goes. since CT has loot-lockouts, this is of course a special case.

not sure how I'd handle this in other instances.

You all got trolled. Rolls only happen once everyone has hit Need or Greed... meaning you don't know your roll till the item has been given out.

Uh... no? It only shows up in the chat log when everyone has need/greed/passed, but you can check the Loot window to see what number you rolled superimposed over the icon of the loot.

GMs won't tell you fates, but pretty sure they'd auto short term ban for this.

Thank you for your input on the vote dismiss feature. The dev. team is currently discussing countermeasures against potential misuses of the system.

Additionally, as stated in the 2.1 patch notes, any abuse of the vote dismiss feature is considered harassment. We ask that users submit a GM report should you come across any situation where the vote dismiss feature is being misused.

@Hvinire, I have a question in regard to GM tickets... so I was one of those people who was affected by the CT "forced-loot" mishap... I couldn't for the life of me figure out a general "let me talk to a GM, I have a game problem" ticket-submission... what are we supposed to use in those cases?

Off-Topic: Any chance affected players who reported this specific issue in a timely manner will be afforded a second Loot Allowance one week to be used on a separate run for the week? I ran CT like 6 times in full (zero monk drops) only to be screwed over by the forced-loot problem. I ran it another time before the lockout just in case if a MNK piece dropped, I could use that as leverage for my request to swap out the piece that was forced upon me for the one that got all-passed (b/c I couldn't roll)... well Fuma Gloves dropped that run & got all-passed, I would love a simple exchange of the suit of Onion Armor for the Fuma Gloves as fair compensation.
