The [I have kicked someone] thread

[Darksword]

Kicked a BLM out of my CT run the other night.

Got to Atomos, I was tanking. BLM got off the pad and started casting about ten seconds into the fight.

"Dude get on the pad plz." "...NAME please get on the pad!" "PAD! BLM TO PAD, quick!" "Oh crap we're gonna wipe!" "/a B WTF R U DOIN?!" "PAAAAAAADDDD!" "(name) stay on the pad, come on!!!"

I said screw it and told my PLD buddy to solo tank the adds while I jumped back and got on the pad. BLM just stood there without saying a word casting away merrily. When the fight was over I put up the votekick myself, and THEN this idiot BLM finally says something. "Wtf nobody explained the fight"

*boot*

Yes we did. Mid battle. A dozen times. Calling to you by name. Dick.

That CT really seems to be kind of epic... The more tales I heard about it the more time I'm desiring to get close and try.

I'm a monk and I kick people all the time.

I like your epic confession.

It isn't really that epic. In fact, it's not even very difficult.

It's just 24 people, and the alliance system is currently a bit lackluster, so it has exponentially higher chances of screwups.

It's a lot of fun though when things don't constantly go haywire

On topic:
I only ever kicked once, and it was because the player disconnected, but the auto-kick didn't kick in. (Much kick.)
I don't like having to kick. It hurts the whole party because even replacing DPS can take a long time depending on the dungeon, and it can be very discouraging to people who are nervous about dungeon runs.

Not to say the BLM wasn't being a dumbass, but you kicked over one incident of it? I don't tunnel vision but I know people who do or have experienced people who do. If you're mid battle not everyone is going to be paying attention to chat to see people yelling at you.

He's still a dumbass for not asking, but still over one incident?

Was it already 2 ranged 2 melee so no one said "X and BLM on pad, other dps atomos" ?

Yeah I do it all the time and I have never been kicked... If someone in the party is just going afk every two seconds, I don't hesitate a second.

DRG in CT auto-ran into the first group of mobs, aggroed the dragon thing and a bunch of elementals, made it impossible to position the dragon cause the elementals path right through it causing it to slide around, tail move killed like 4 people within the first 30 seconds.

someone Raised him and the Raise effect expired.

kicked for AFK as soon as the 5 minute timer was available.

People are way too fast to kick people on this game. And considering the attitude problems so many of the people who play this game have, it was easily predictable that this function was going to be abused. And it has. Just like me and countless others said it would be, despite the load of ______ that was fed to us about it being strictly regulated to prevent abuse. Which isn't happening.

Kicked plenty of trolls that purposely wipe CT runs.

Haven't really needed to kick anyone very often. There was a lancer in a Brayflox run I did that did not speak and did nothing but auto attack the first target he came across, and only auto attacked the boss. Didn't move from any aoes or anything either. We kicked him after the third boss, after our patience ran out. Everyone just assumed it was a bot or something. I don't run into a whole lot of situations where I've needed to kick someone as I run almost everything with my friends.
