So votekick >abuse< is practically allowed?

[SarcasmMisser]

I, on your contrary, understand that others dont play like me and I dont play like them..and nothign forces me to play with or them with me

When was the last time you even played this game. You are still in full darklight gear which is something I haven't seen in game since probably 2.2, your last achievement dates back to February, yet here you are still posting on the forums telling other people what they should do? If you are still posting on the official forums several months after you quit the game you are either a dedicated troll or have issues, and definitely have no sense of irony to talk about maturity. They should really require an active sub to post on the forums.

Majority rules. What should they do? Ban the majority? Don't be silly. All you can do is come to terms with the fact like in real life, the crooked nail gets hammered down/votekicked.

In party finder, where loot rules are agreed to before you even enter the instance, being removed prior to looting/the agreement was broken, can be reported and something will come of it.

Dissenters, would you change your mind if there was a "Lackluster performance" option? Would it be ok with you if you got votekicked for a "Not on the same page" reason if there was one?

People get votekicked because they are doing something that the majority feels does not coincide with their goals, or flat out hinders it. They ARE doing something wrong, and that wrong is relative, but if the vote passes, clearly that's the prevailing opinion, and that's how things work in a democracy. You're allowed to disagree with the majority, but you're probably gonna lose whatever battle is being fought.

you live in a rystal tower me think. You are saying in essence that ALTHOUGH we have rules in place that say anyone can greed (provided there are no limitations of what you can get per week), only class that loot is for can need, and all can pass, people that press need even though they dont need it because they have it already, or people that greed although they dont need for any classes but do so because they just want to, can be kicked ? because what you words said is just that. You dont think you are being just a tad bit silly, no ?

I do leave if I dont agree with whatever, but it would never cross my mind to initiate a kick becasue I dont like that person, the only reason that I would do so, is if effectively there is a limit that is overtaken, insults and the like and in here, it has NEVER happen because simply I do understand that I deal with different people, of different horizons, and more improtant of different life experience, and I find it easier, if I dont agree to remove myself, maybe I should kick everyone that is not think ing like me right ? becasue that is what you say.

This game is not a democracy...and to be more direct, this is not real life. But to play along, where does it say that democracy can supraceed laws in place ? and who says that people can do whatever they want to whoever for whatever reasons based on no grounds ?..this is no more democracy is called anarchy, oh you mean to say that you didnt know what democracy is and what anarchy is ? if so, I am sorry, as I understand that not everybody knows things.

I reported plenty of people for a large assortiment of things.

From botters, to people who votekicked because we were after the same loot, people who harass you trough /trade spam abuse preventing you from getting anywhere to even people being total racists.

Not a single one ever got banned. They were all happily strolling around the next hour still, and the day after that, and the week after that, and even now. I dont even feel any of them got a stern talking-to or learned anything. GM's do not undertake any action whatsoever.

But they should! At the very least do more than give an automated response.

I vote kick people for being bad in DF all the time, because they are preventing the party from fulfilling the objective. You aren't entitled to waste other people's time if they want you gone.

I generally try to give constructive criticism before resorting to that. But if an underperforming person responds with a snooty "You can't tell me what to do" attitude, then sometimes it can't really be helped.

I was trying to tank T8 in the DF one time. I tried to do it the "Solo Tank" method, since that is how I learned it, with the OT as a dps / bomb checker. The healers got mad that I kept trying to grab the dredge, and when I didn't they got mad that I didn't grab the dredge.... wtf moment. Ended up getting kicked from the df, and then when I tried re-queueing for a NEW T8 run, I got the same group. Ended up getting kicked yet once again.

I'd take a vote-kick-with-abuse system over a no vote-kick system. And if you won't it just means you weren't playing endgame before the vote-kick was put in game.

People were joining AFK left and right and just leeching tomes off the rest of the party. And I'm not even talking about the actual trollings on chat

I see vote kick abuse happen in Frontlines so much, and it really irritates me.
If a player is not stuck like glue to their group and goes to assist another group (A melee from A or C goes to mid to LB node, a healer goes to help a group that is missing healers, etc) these people usually get votekicked right before the round ends (EVEN IF WE ARE WINNING!)
I /always/ vote no to these kicks, unless the player is clearly AFK or not playing at all. I really feel like a person separating from a group for a time to assist another that needs help, especially while our team is winning, is not means to be kicked.

I have not been kicked as of this thus far, but I see this happen to someone else in about every 1 out of 3 matches. It is extremely abusive since the teams usually kick in the last few minutes of the game.

Funny, I've only seen vote kick used a handful of times in frontlines and every time it's been on OP AFKers. The ones who stand at OP all match, every match even if their team needs them badly. These AFKers are sort of like the AFK trolls from CM, but sadly they get away with AFKing more often than not because there's normally new people in the team who don't realize what they're doing. Granted, I haven't PvPed in awhile so this could have changed recently. Maybe your experience has stemmed from these OP afk trolls. People being paranoid or something...? Dunno.

Hmm...I knew a very infamous OP AFKer in the adders...I wonder if he's still at his old tricks.
