Kicked Members can rejoin?

[The_Last_Dragoon]

So my group ended up needing to kick someone due the way how he was harassing one of the players in the party. It seemed to be a unanimous decision, but then I discovered that not 2 minutes after kicking the player was he back in our group. This player was a tank, so he must have had a quick queue time, but is it possible for a kicked player to rejoin a group through duty finder without being re-invited to it?

Yes it is possible, which is just one of the very bad design decisions of the game. I've had a CT run where a harassing tank was kicked 3 times, always returning to the group. It didn't end until someone got their friend queueing tank the moment the harasser was kicked.

Yeah players can somehow get back into the same instance they were kicked out from. I had this copperbell hm party where the monk requested that we kick him so he can get out to repair his gears (yeah, he forgot to). Then about 3 minutes later he managed to get queued into the same instance with us. He just said "back" when he returned, with confidence he won't mistakenly queued into another copperbell instance.

This can also end well for a party too. There was one time I had a particularly bad Disconnect as a Tank, so the party kicked me. I queue in progress and get back into the same instance once I got things running again and we proceed as normal after a "Welcome Back".

lol, that must have been awkward. Did you kick him again

[MilesSaintboroguh]

I don't get why Square didn't put a check for this. If someone is kicked, then the system should ignore that specific instance the next time that player is looking to join a game.

Long time ago, my PT kicked a bad player who trying to MPK the party, then he rejoined immediately and laughed at us, so we kicked him again and he re-joined and laughing again, finally I left the dungeon right after the 3rd kick because no one can kick him agian.

something must be done to stop this.

The past couple of days there was a troll tank running amok in CT, the party he was in kept kicking and he kept coming back....like a dozen times before someone else got in before him. Causing WAY too many problems with the Bone Dragon Skellingtons in particular (he stacked 4, YES 4 on each other 3 rounds in a row, before he was locked out of the room during a re-join) and dont get me started on Vassago (attacking centre bomb)...

The system does need to provide some form of lockout from DF if you are kicked or at the very least a check so that the same Alliance wont be plagued by a re-joining troll.

I had this happen on one of my Titan HM runs this weekend. We had a DPS harassing the new people, he was making fun of them every time they made mistakes or died. He harassed me for using a Cure III on the Tank and Melee DPS when they were all taking damage. (Saying "Cure II is more potent, I would hope a WHM in i90 gear would get that.")

We kicked him for harassment, he re-queued in the DF and immediately got back into our group. This happened three times before the party finally just abandoned the duty. I think Square needs to fix that. If someone's kicked from a group, they should be barred from requeuing back with that group.
