Wow there are some flawed arguements on both side of the fence in this 'discussion.'

While I generally agree with the thought that you shouldn't be vote kicking someone in a Duty Finder group because they're not as skilled as you hoped, I can see there being cause to if they are purposefully being bad. That would fall under harassment.

What the HK-47 seems to be missing with their repeated pleas of "show me the line in the ToS that says kicking for performance is bad" is that there are only certain options available to you for justifying the kick. If the reason for the kick doesn't fall into those options then it's reportable. From what folks have shown there is no option for "Noob" but there is an option for being griefed. So you may get called on that if you use one of those options for an incorrect kick.

What's saddest though is on these last few pages of this where people have been outright saying that it isn't up to them to teach people how to play. That they should go and read guides before taking on an encounter. That's a load of bull, and an example of how the culture in MMOs has degraded over the years.

If someone is doing poorly you should help them. This is a game where co-operation and teamwork are what get you through the content more than anything else. You're a team going into each of these events and you should be acting like one. If someone is lacking somewhere you offering a tip if you see where the failure is will go so much further than them reading a guide. Because it has context.

And to be honest, I absolutely loathe this "read the guide first" attitude. You shouldn't have to read a guide before you're allowed into an event. There's nothing wrong with learning as you go, in the moment.

Wipes happen. Get over it and help them get better. You'll really make someone's day.
