No more Vote Kick system

[Cupcakehyperion]

Nothing good comes from this. If someone goes Offline, no one votes dismiss. They all decline every single time, always. Then I have to wait 4 hours to do it again? Next time someone disconnects everyone else wants to stand around for 10+ minutes.

If I do my job in Amdapor and kill the White Magistones, someone runs in and aggros the eyes thinking I'm in danger or something dumb and I get blamed and vote kicked without ever saying a word. I'm sick of going through entire Expert Roulettes after a 30 minute queue on DPS just to have terrible tanks vote kick me for not understanding how the game works or queuing as a tank and having 2x MNKs in Brayflox that wanna vote kick me for pulling more than 1 mob at a time.

Can we just stop? Stop having vote kick. It makes me hostile and pissed off so much that I want to vote kick people right away that I feel might end up trying to vote kick me later. That's stupid. I shouldn't have to feel that way. Can we end this system?

Those are abuses of the vote kick system. You should have reported them if that's the whole story. What do you suggest happen in the cases they are actually needed?

This. Getting rid of it would do much more harm than good.

As the others have said, use the support desk. The Vote to Kick system is very beneficial and usefull at times, and yes it can be abuse. But as Naoki Yoshida said the GM's were informed to consider it a serious offence in cases where it's abuse and so far the results of that have shown that they do take it very seriously (as I've seen and heard so far).

To file a GM report go to;

[Main Menu (ESC) > Support Desk > Contact Us > Report Harassment]

File in the details;

Your World:
Instance:
Approximate Time (Local Time or Server Time):
Suspicious persons in question:

Adding in one or two quotes such as;

"/p Lets just kick him guys, lol"

Would make the GM reports investigation quicker in discerning if you were kicked rightfully or not. All you can do is report it.

No one else comment here please. There are far too many threads about this already, just go talk about it in one of them rather than starting your own.

I've never seen a vote dismiss fail on an offline player. And I guess I've been really lucky in in that I've never seen a player kicked that didn't absolutely deserve it. And every one of those players was also told exactly why they were getting voted out before the vote was initiated.

Your best recourse is to report being kicked. Make a GM report and just tell them you feel you were kicked out unfairly and weren't told why. You probably don't even need names, they should be able to look up what instance you were just in and who else participated.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. We need the ability to vote kick people. Before it was implemented this game was a freaking nightmare. Rabid trolls that verbally abused the hell out of everyone and anyone, or did stupid things to get the party killed on purpose for the fun of it. People who would enter an instance and then go AFK for the entire run so you either had to carry them, or leave and re-queue. RMT bots. And the list goes on. We had to beg, and beg, and beg, and beg on hands and knees to get a vote kick system out of SE, and I, for one, do not want to go back to the dark times before it existed.

With great power comes great responsibility. Remember that, kids.

Queues aren't four hours long, the hyperbole makes me doubt your honesty with the rest of the post. I for one have also never seen kicks except on the dc'd or the trolls, so I don't think the problem is as rampant as you think it is either.

There is a 4 hours CD between each time you can initiate a vote kick.

Anyway, we fought for that vote-kick function due to AFK idiots in dungeons for free tomes, it's not to see it removed

ah misunderstood the op then.
