I'm pretty happy actually I was not expecting a cap increase but a double de amount of scrips turn in! This makes a huge diferrence.

It's not really a fix because it didn't address the favor or item scarcity issue that's making these items to high to even buy. Hell on my server most favor items are still millions of gil.

I think it was always like that. And with a star it should be at around 21, prior to patch.

"The Duty Finder has been adjusted so that players who have been vote-dismissed are not immediately available as candidates for joining a party."

I guess we'll find out soon enough exactly what this means. It actually could work if the time out is about 5 mins (not 30) as that would keep them out of rejoining most of the time without having a huge penalty if they're trolled.

[Ranzan]

You can get booted for no reason and have a lockout penalty. Troll tools at is finest. This was a troll of a hot fix cause it didn't fix nothing.

The duty finder change will not increase unjust kicks (people who like to kick for banter's sake are already doing so), but it will reduce trolls rejoining the same instance AND (if the penalty is not per instance but for re-queuing) get rid of kick beggers who want to circumvent the penalty. Sounds good to me! Just report unjust kicks like you would have before.

I think true unjust kicking is very rare anyway. Yes it can be frustrating to get a penalty if you're completely innocent, but I imagine that in most of the "unjust" cases there is a reason for the kick that the kicked person doesn't realise. Some possible reasons for kicking could be: making things harder for the group with knockback or pulling before tank etc, pulling extra mobs and wiping the group, trolling with encounter mechanics (like that guy who likes to eat all fruits in Aurum Vale), refusing to play the intended role for the class, playing so badly the group cannot progress, being cheeky or rude or spamming the chat with some nonsense. Or even just constantly falling back so you're not contributing or people have to wait for you. These all fall in the category of "playstyle differences" and are justified reasons to kick.

Consider this: out of all the ways you can make the dungeon hell to your team members, only being verbally rude is punishable! I don't think it's right in an MMO that someone can act like a total c*** and get away with with no penalty whatsoever and, in the case of tanks and healers, even get an instant queue pop right away.

That's how I see it and why I don't see the problem. I've only been kicked once in the entirety of ARR's (and HW's now) life span and that one was kind of justified. I said I had one more attempt left in me, but instead of doing that one attempt, the WHM and I argued (they apparently disliked me for standing behind them, which made them move out of Titan's Landslide AoE if I was targeted... which then had them say I sucked at being a BLM, which unfortunately goaded me into arguing) and I was booted.

No AasT buffs again?

[Mikhaill]

Well these are the most boring notes we've had since HW.
Really disappointed in no Job balances... I hope the DF is...
you get the boot, but are not able to join the SAME party you were in.

I really don't get this doom and gloom over the new kick adjustment (then again ANY change is doom and gloom around here), but people fail to realize that anyone who starts a vote kick can't make another one in another 4 hours. Do you really think a troll is going to waste their 4 hour grace period just to kick one person for giggles?

Since when?
I started a Vote kick, and did it again minutes later because we had 2 afk's in Alex for like 10mins.
