Kicked from party so other can leave is a joke, SE

[Synthesis]

Being kicked from party so other can leave is a joke SE.

I was in terrible pt where ppl, they didnt know what to do. etc. I am learning new fights as well. But pt were really bad.

Someone decided that pt has no sense to continue - they decided to kick someone so the rest can leave. (vote abandon wasn't avilable yet, 15min. restriction). They kicked me.

I got 30 minutes penalty for nothing. This is ridiculous in my opinion.
Friend got kicked from party, because he rolled greed on belt in dungeon. And I met few cases when some were kicked out of party just because their gear was below party's expectation.

Those who're kicked out for stupid reasons like above or in general do not deserve 30 minutes penalty.

SE should make same timer for "vote kick" and "vote abandon". Or shorten penalty for being kicked to 10 min instead of 30 min.

I am not angry at players, but at the stupidity of the system

I've never been kicked, but I thought you didn't get a penalty for being kicked?

Evidently there is 30 miin. penalty, if you're kicked out.

[Neri]

huh? I remember that if you got vote kicked, you won't get 30 minutes penalty? Did they change that or something?

[Seifu]

You don't get a penalty for being kicked.

I'm pretty sure you don't get a penalty for being kicked.

You *don't* get a penalty if you're kicked from a duty. You only receive the penalty if you voluntarily leave a duty.

(I got kicked after a 3-minute AFK to check to see who was knocking at my door this morning)

Sorry but there is not a penalty for being kicked from a party. There will never be a penalty for being kicked out of a party.


Maybe what happened to the OP is someone got kicked and somehow it found a member to replenish the ranks while he was going to the duty finder menu to use "Leave"?

Regardless if you get the penalty or not, this problem doesn't exist anymore now that SE implemented a vote-abandon and the inability to kick when there is loot to be assigned.
So, why did you post all of this only now, exactly?

[ZReport]

Sounds like a typical complaint OP.
