I have a FC mate very upset at a situation that was imposed on them.

A very verbal tank found through Duty Finder was kicked from the group after preforming VERY questionable pulling practices (Pulling an entire group in Halitali from entrance to boss and locking the monsters in the boss zone with the players, exiting out themselves).


The group then kicked the member who promptly re-queued and returned to the very same party that kicked them.

I recall this being an issue presented by the community before, but I did not know if there was any word on the matter. Is it possible for me to get an update to see if this is something the Developers would be willing to fix. It's very upsetting to have to repeatedly deal with a person whom you've already agreed to kick within the group moments after just kicking them.

While not encountered frequently, such bad experiences may be enough to drive players away - as I am found right now attempting to calm my FC mate down who is saying, flat out, that he does not wish to support SE if this matter isn't resolved.

I see multiple possible solutions to this matter. Have blacklisting be account-based and not server based, and players who are on one another blacklists are not paired. While questionable in implementation, a cool-down period for queuing (something small, like five to ten minutes?) Could be implemented to players who are kicked from instances, to better enable a replacement of a different player into duty. Or simply disabling someone from rejoining the same instance they have been kicked from (though this may require some more in-depth coding, but will probably be optimal if it is done.)

If there is a planned fix on the way, I would like to be made aware of it so I can reassure my FC mate of such and keep him here with us. He's well loved in our FC and I know there'd be a pretty strong hit to our FC's morale if he were to leave over this issue. Any response officially (Or even a link to an official response I've overlooked) would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.
