Vote Kick is completely broken in Syrcus Tower

[AurelienRainier]

I am infuriated.

Just got out of a Syrcus Tower run. BLM in party goes AFK. We start the fights and the BLM is AFK throughout two of them, so we decide to kick her for being AFK (gave her ample time).

But we can't, because she hasn't rolled on the item that dropped. So someone pulled, and we couldn't kick her because we were in a fight.

So the fight ended and she was still AFK, and we still couldn't kick her, because she hadn't rolled on the new item that just dropped.

Ad nauseam.

So we finish Syrcus with this dead, AFK BLM in our party. Then an Oil of Time drops. She decides to come back, rolls on the Oil, gets it, and then leaves.

Are you kidding me? The Vote Kick system needs a complete revamping, IMO.

Report for harassment/griefing. That's all you can really do. :/

What is worse are ppl who come in as a group and then let their fc buds afk. I have run more than a few ct and st runs where we have a full pt of 8 but only have 5-6 fighting, vote-kick is denied and you are threatened or taunted til you leave on your own.

Had something similar happen in a CT I was in... 2 of the DPS were in full crafting SB gear, so they had barely 2k life and were entirely useless, but since their friends were in the group, we couldn't kick them. One of the healers refused to even go into combat until they were removed or put on their real gear so instead, they kicked him.

A thing similar happen to me just now.
People enter with their full stuff, then switch to stuff to sb.
Said to them to switch, ask to kick someone who did it. They refuse. I choose to be kick instead.

Can't we get a way to prevent us for switching stuff that drop your ilvl after we enter a dungeon? Lock DoH/DoL stuff too.

I agree. You shouldn't be able to change gear to items that drop you below the required ilevel for the dungeon.

I also think you shouldn't be able to equip DoH/DoL items in any dungeon, period. :/

Until those things happen (if they ever do), all you can really do is report the behavior unfortunately.

I don't know why some people think the rest of us are there to do their work for them.

Looks like you got set up

You were lucky enough that they didn't vote kick you after seeing Oil of Time drops.

If you took the time to read, or understood how vote kicking even worked, you would know that once loot drops you are no longer allowed to vote kick until everyone has rolled on the loot and it has been distributed.

Thats been happening a lot on my server too. I've also seen players kicking people before the last boss to get the oil of time. Thats happen to me a few times too. Sometimes i get lucky and finish the last boss lol.
