Why have Vote Kick if it's almost entirely abused?

[MilesSaintboroguh]

The system does get abused a lot, because there is generally no risk involved. There have been many times I've been in a dungeon and the "Vote to Kick" popup shows to request my vote, for no legitimate reason that I could tell. So I simply cast my "No" vote and hope it ends there. Unfortunately, it usually doesn't, as the chatwar then begins.

Perhaps if when a person is kicked, the DF doesn't begin searching for a replacement for 5 mintues would be a deterrent. People might think twice about kicking if the party member can't be replaced quickly.

The whole point behind kicking someone out is that you want to replace the troublesome member with someone who isn't a jerk ASAP. Using your idea, I could troll people and there would be nothing they could do about it unless they want to take a forced 5 minute or more break waiting for a new member to replace me.
