Not once, not twice, but four or fifth times just because it doesn't go through the first time. And enough people voting with yes for it to actually go through.

The poor guy didn't even do anything bad - playing his role well enough as a matter of fact when he could actually catch up. As if the rush in itself isn't confusing (and thus discouraging) enough, now new players aren't even allowed to enjoy anything at all, because some jerk of a tank hasn't heard of patience?

Sorry, not sorry - some players really just disgust me.
This isn't the first thread to bring this up. A forum mod has also already responded to this saying that they couldn't makes calls on vote kicking if it is based on "conflicting player's styles." I think this is a cop-out answer personally but it basically says they will not do anything about it. /Roll Eyes Personally I think this is something that should be talked about in the party in a mature manner. The vote kick was obviously never meant to be used this way. Why should it ever come to this?

Two things anyone could do:

1. Call for a vote at the start of the duty to see who is OK with CS watching. This should avoid the vote kick ever being thought about let alone used in such a manner.
2. Use the party finder and select the "No CS skipping" box. (This is more reliable then one might think.)
