Look what just happened in Duty !

[MikoteAstra]

I think the image speaks for it self !

The healer and the mage voted our tank out for such a stupid reason, no need to tell you that after a short period of time because no second tank showed up they left ! Also im sure that after our short conversation if a second tank has come they would voted me out too !

Also the tank was not bad at all he did a good job only his gear maybe was not so strong but yeah he didnt got a CT gear on himself like the healer ! Im soo angry of such people !!!

Got a question.....where can i report such thing ?

And i really hope that he got baned after that !




Big thank you to Arragomis for posting this!

Players who are absent for extended periods or harass others can now be democratically expelled from the party.

* 4 hours must elapse since your last successful use of vote dismiss before you can initiate another. (revised 12/18/2013)
* You will be required to select a reason for dismissal. Please be warned that unjustified usage of vote dismiss is a punishable act.
* Please wait at least five minutes before using Vote Dismiss on a player who has logged out.

It says then in 2.1 patch notes. It states that is used to report those who are afk, offline or Harassing. THAT IS IT. It doest not give you an option to kick people based on play skill in the menu, or gear score in the menu does it? THIS IS ABUSING THE FEATURE! IT IS NOT ALLOWED!




Yoshi p Live Letter where he speaks for the first time about voting system !

こんにちは。
Hello,
ダンジョン攻略中無断で放置する方がいます。 戦闘にも参加せず攻略不可の場合、こちらからその放置者に何もすることが出来ず 退室しなきゃいけません。 そうなるとペナルティが来るのはこちら。おかしくありませんか？ 過半数以上の同意での追放機能などが欲しいです。
There are players that goes AFK without saying anything. Because of this person not participating it’s impossible to complete the dungeon, and there is nothing for the rest of us to do but to leave. When that happens we’re the one getting the penalty, don’t you think that’s weird? I would like a vote kick feature.
コンテンツファインダー中に、投票などを通してパーティメンバーをキックする機能は、技術的には難しいものでは> なく、実装を予定しています。
To have a vote kick feature while using the Duty Finder is not hard to do technically, and we are planning to release.
ただし、気に入らないプレイヤーを故意に排除するといったように悪用される危険性があるため、 極力問題が起きないような仕組み作りに注力しています。そのため、具体的な実装時期については 確定していませんが、パッチ2.1に導入するかどうかを含めて検討しています。
However, there is a possibility of this feature being used wrongfully, therefore we are focusing to make sure these type of problems don’t occur as much as possible. For that reason, the release timing is not confirmed yet, we are looking into if we’re going to implement this in patch 2.1.


Edit: Good news i got an email in the game from the devs !

I needed to fill the information they needed in order they can take action and will contact me later !

You should delete the image or blur out their names. It's against the forum rules to witch hunt people. Even if he's in the wrong, you can't go posting his name for people to mock.

And yes, what he did is reportable.

Ironically the person who kicked him is probably around i74, too. Not exactly geared himself.

[Mhaeric]

Maybe I'm not understanding either the situation or how vote kick works... but how did he manage to get vote-kicked without your approval?

It only has to be a majority vote. So if the two of them voted him out, it doesn't matter what the third person voted.

[Warlyx]

what instance? maybe the tank forgot about shield oath or defiance? D:

[MikoteAstra]

I did not know that, i will change the photo now !

But if you aske me such people deserve to be hunted dowen, my opinion !

And the dn was on hard mode !

Hmm, I could have sworn it was unanimous vote.

[Noahlimits]

Nope. I've even said 'no' to vote kicks for someone I felt didn't deserve it. Didn't matter, he was still kicked. They do this so trolls won't que with a friend and always have him vote 'no' when the rest of the party try to boot him. Yes, it asks people in your own semi-pre mades if you want to kick someone if the vote is initiated.

Not being able to hold agro seems like a good enough reason

Not according to the TOS. You can't boot someone because their playstyle isn't up to par. It's reportable and people get suspended for kicking people for those reasons.

That's why everyone should just make pre-mades with people on their level.
