Just remove abandon & possibility to abuse kick button, and please put 2 hours lock

[Vhailor]

The Vote to Abandon feature will continue to be abused until SE fundamentally reconsiders the design of their fights.

Battles are far too dependent on everyone doing their job competently. Obviously in the case of CT/ST this is somewhat eased, but "new" people can still cause a group-wide wipe if they mess up on the mechanics of the fight. This is a patently ridiculous way to introduce difficulty in a cooperative game. It causes players to become hostile towards each other, discourages mutual support and patience, and, more relevant to the OP, generates abuse of the Abandon / Kick features.

It needs to go. It's probably the single largest flaw with XIV's design at the moment, and I don't say that lightly.

Oh hey, we queued as 4-5 people, we feel this run has no chance in hell of ending well, but since the vote abandon feature now has a 2 hour lockout, we'll just take off all our equips and wipe the party till one of the others decide to leave. Ps. They can't kick us either cuz we're the majority! Trololololol!

They can report you tho ^_^
