My fellow FC members and I recently tried to help out a friend of ours who was going to take on his required Relic Weapon quests. Our group of 4, went to Amdapor Keep and right after the Demon Wall, our healer DC'd and couldn't get back in after over 20 minutes. He used Skype to ask us to vote him out so we could continue and replace him. But when we tried to do so, we got an error message saying that only randomly selected players for a duty could be kicked out of a group. Given that we wanted to try to help our friend, it was a shame we couldn't finish Amdapor Keep and quit.

So, given the circumstances, if someone in our party is AFK or Offline, regardless of what happened, if someone is willing to let themselves be kicked, please let us do it.
