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

[JonBigwood]

There are some abuses of votekick (for example just before a loot in CT I saw it, or for not enough justified reasons, fails or mistakes are not reason enough if there is good intention.) But I think vote kick is needed if someone gets d/c and doesn't come back, or for the very rare nasty misbehaving one. There is a 4 hour (I think) wait for starting a votekick if you already started one, so it is impossible the same person can use it too frequently.

Lets just all pray OP is queued with bots, afk peeps, harassing douchebags, total tards and lets see if he ever dare making such a silly thread again

Ok I am a tank, and I have a pretty well sense of humor and lightness. But your tone came off no where near what you think it did. Its definitely not about being touchy and sensitive at all, as I KNOW I am not unless someone proceeds to act as my superior and I am just a little kid who knows nothing about the world.

Furthermore, Vote Kick is fine. OP, I am sorry you were kicked but your chat shown wasn't kindly either, and because you believe you came off perfectly fine, you think SE should accommodate you so you don't get kicked again or something. I tank alot, instant q, lots of dungeon grinding for xp, vote kick is rarely used. And when it is, its not abused. The person is afk, offline, or harrasing. Problem is not with Vote kick.

This system has seen almost nothing but abuse since it's inception.

Personal Opinion...

I jokingly comment that Overpower and Flash typically prevent that. "Oh well, he's a dragon now" was the extent of my sarcasm before being vote kicked.

Sarcasm is hard to transport on a written only media without face expressions and such... you know, your behavior can someone count as harassment, thus, your kick would be totally legit...

While commenting on every flaw might seem okay - even funny - to you, it might annoy others... Put a line under it, and don´t QQ cause someone didn´t want to play with you anymore...

I agree that this gets abused. My recent experience was in Halatali HM. I said before the cutscene even loaded that I hadn't done this dungeon before, and I needed the fights explained. No one explained anything until after I got killed by 1000 tonze swing. Got killed once by Demon Eye, and booted.

If someone asks you to explain the fights, and your response is to boot them, that's B.S. At minimum the abandoned duty timer needs to not be used against you.

The only times I've used Vote Kick is for people who disconnected or went AFK without warning for 5+ minutes, and this one particular troll/idiot bard on Aurum Vale yesterday who *systematically* attacked every mob I marked to be put to sleep by the WHM and/or marked #2 or 3 while I was attacking #1, after being called out for it thrice. Without the feature I'd have had to leave the party myself. Why should I penalize myself because the DF paired me with a griefer?

friendlier
