About Kicked individuals returning to the same instance...

[Hyrist]

I'd recommend a double-shot expressio today.

In my OP:

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.)

I think this (bolded) one goes over the best with people here on the forums.

Overall, even though for the most part I evade this issue, My friend would not be sitting on two Zodiacs if it was not for his braving the Duty Finder frequently. He's also at the forefront of helping our DPS members of the FC bypass the long queue times by queuing as a healer (one of this two Zodiacs). You can imagine how many times he's encountered someone troublesome. He leans more to the Blacklist issue, citing that WoW manages to accomplish this, however given FFXIV's lower population I can sympathize with the concerns on its effects of the Queuing times. I think the more immediate concern is the returning players who were just kicked. I can't think of another game that allows that.

SE said they are going to fix that, they still haven't. They said that months ago. >_>

Apologies if someone has mentioned this before, but I've experienced multiple situations where kicking someone and having them rejoin was a major blessing. I remember a particular Pharos Sirius run I was doing for an Animus book, where the tank disconnected in the sewer and was auto-kicked. After waiting almost ten minutes for a new tank to join and no results, one of the dps asked to be kicked (pretty sure he would still have had an "abandon penalty" if he left manually), and that same dps immediately reentered after switching to a Paladin. We were then able to finish the dungeon.

I have had this happen probably a half-dozen times since they enabled player kicking, whereas I've only experienced a player doing it with negative intentions once.

If he left manually, since the party is not full, he would not have a penalty. I've done the same thing: we lost tank or healer, I'd leave and join in-progress as tank or healer.
