I've never been kicked either but than again I don't belong to those selfish pricks who go full SB in dungeons.

Still have yet to be kicked from a party whilst in duty. I have been kicked after joining from PF... it was like join, 3 seconds later, kick. But I suspect that was because a friend wanted to come along so they had to make space.

Never happened to me yet. Don't treat people bad and they won't get rid of you.

Never been kicked and usually I start a vote to kick someone if that person is AFK or dc 3 to 5 minutes ago even if that person has the worst gear or the worst dps I dont like to start a kick vote because they are learning and I was a noob once before as well. The FFXIV community it's really cool in cactuar or at least for me.

I have been kicked once. When it happened I felt a bit annoyed and a bit shocked too, because I thought I would never ever be kicked from anything (as I do my best to play my role well and consider myself to be polite and cooperative).

It was longstop hard of all places. I was there as WHM and the other party members were WAR tank and 2 BRDs. Tank splits the first pull in half but the party does the normal speedrun stuff and everything goes well. I notice neither of the BRDs is singing paeon despite of pulls taking a bit longer than usual to kill. Instead one of them keeps singing ballad for me. I say thanks but I won't need it in this instance but don't mention the paeon.

After first boss the tank makes the normal speedrun pull with all the gliders. They take minutes and minutes to kill them. I notice BRDs aren't singing paeon so I assume they're either attacking the mobs one by one (not likely as none of them are dying) or running out of TP without doing anything to it (as the mobs do take forever to kill). I start having trouble keeping up with gliders jumping on everyone and tank starting to take a lot of damage (I assume he was running out of his defensive cooldowns too) at the same time despite of keeping Medica 2 up. I bene the tank, get people to full HP with Medica 2 and DS medica, the mobs still aren't dead. In the end I can't keep up with damage everyone is taking and tank goes down, everyone else following.

I say in party chat I'm sorry but I just couldn't keep up with heals. The BRD ballading earlier says "Thanks a lot WHM, now we have to spend much more time in here". Tank says "Why did you refuse the ballad given you earlier then?" I explained it wasn't the lack of MP, I just couldn't keep up with the healing speed when the group took forever to kill the pull that normally goes down very fast on speedruns. I said 2 BRDs just aren't very optimal for AoE damage there, but said it's not their fault. Tank said "Are you serious? 2 BRDs slow AoE damage?" and yeah, they are, at least compared to 2 BLMs or BLM+BRD or even BRD+DRG, from my experience (I have BRD too). I don't know if it could work, maybe yes, but in this particular group at least the pull took ages to kill compared to what I'm used to seeing.

Next thing I saw was me being outside of instance, confused. Later I checked the party members from lodestone and noticed the WAR and the ballad BRD blaming me for the wipe were from the same FC. :P Now every time I do that pull in Longstop I smile at what happened in that party.

I'm too nice to everyone to get kicked! But I also expect that I might get bad or new players in my group every time I search for a dungeon. Adnd I'm fine with it. If they struggle and you manage to give them advice that makes it easier they're so grateful and that makes me feel good!

[yahhzoo]

I was kicked once and all I can remember was that I decided to do some duty finders after a long night out at the bar. I'm guessing my healing was crap but hey I had fun : )

[CriticalCrystal]

Never been kicked either from a dungeon.
Only time I do get kicked is if my router messes up and have no way to get back into the game at all for ages but that's a rarity.

I don't think I've ever been kicked from a Duty... God knows I've done dumb stuff and made the group wipe at times, but when that happens I've apologized and tried to improve, so people have been cool with it.
