    Vote Kick needs to be Removed from DF

    The Vote kick System needs to be removed from the DF system it is currently being misused in every way this system as of now does more harm then it does good. Also the Withdraw from duty needs to be further refined if u withdraw more then 3 times you are locked out of all instances for 24 hours watch how fast this problem goes away.

    Misused how? All I see is you running here whining about the vote kick system without even saying what happened, so I am led to believe that perhaps you caused some issues yourself.

    And the current withdraw penalties are fine. Stop being dramatic.

    vote kick should be removed from 4 player instances yes but its fine for bigger raid parties

    withdraw penalty is also fine i really dont see the problem with it hated bein queued for ST and having it pop up 10+ times only to have some1 withdraw n have to wait 30-40mins b4 it pops again lol

    I disagree. To many times I've ran into a tank that doesn't know how to tank and refused to take kindly advice. Times like these it's better to just vote kick so that you have the option to actually leave if you can't find a replacement, or are unable to finish.

    Locked out of Instances for 24 hrs?? thought after 3 it was 30mins and then for each time after that another 30mins until the count resets 9am PDT?

    4 man dungeons vote kick is where it is the most important. I have experienced many instances of someone dc'ing and not returning for 10+ minutes. This is when we NEED to kick someone as some instances require 4 active persons. 8 man dungeons can at least be completed with 1 or 2 people not doing their jobs as their is another tank/healer/dps to make up for their incompetence (I know, this does not make it OK).
    As far as withdraw penalties, they seem to be doing wonders for df ques. I rarely see members drop anymore. Perhaps removing the penalty from full premade parties would be more ideal, as this does not affect other players queing up. Perhaps increasing the timer to 1 minute would make things better for crafters/afk dps/gatherers/etc.

    From my point of view the harm that the vote kick options brings to the party is nothing compared to having people join and go afk during dungeons/trials/raids.

    It's a very small minority that abuse vote kick tbh it has some important uses for getting rid of people who DC and never come back or trolls who go out their way to make a run difficult as possible for their own cheap amusement. If you really feel somebody abused it then you can report them though no guarantee that GM's will agree with you they have very specific criteria for what abuse of kicking is. You need to remember you are not the only person in the party and if you are making the run miserable for others and ruining their enjoyment then it's a legit reason to kick you.
