You don't have to ask the leader of the party to kick someone, you can do it yourself Only leaders can sign the party up for duties and kick from a party in the open world/fates, but inside an instance in DF, everyone can vote dismiss, just fyi ^^

Apparently melee DPS who're gonna sit on Diabolos' behind the entire time should mark doors.

...

There was a door mechanic in Lost City?

There was. Most people just burn him now. Even though it can be hard on the healer, especially an inexperienced one.

You did nothing wrong. That tank on the other hand needs to get visited by the lala mafia and "educated" on how to treat people.

There's a Lala Mafia? :O Uh... don't tell them about my Lala sacrifices to Alexander? ^.^"

Oh my, what a mess I've made. D:

Thank you Alien, Miste, Vanille, Waeksyn, and Singularity for the support. Y'all are so sweet. <3

I guess I'll go super into detail to clear up any confusion.

It was the Antitower and I asked when we were on the final two sets of trash before the 2nd boss. The last groups of trash before Calcabrina are a little intimidating, but our tank was in full i220 and i230 melded gear, so they had done Midas at least and I assumed tank was their main since they were spending Lore on it. o.o" He was a decent tank too and I saved my Holy's for after his MP regen skill (I forget the name, but it's the pink one. The one that gives him MP when he gets hit) had fallen off to make sure he wasn't missing any of his MP (I've been trying to practice doing that 'cause my bf mains DRK and he hates when I stun everything while it's running, lol ^.^") and he was using Salted Earth and dropping Grit occasionally, he seemed to me like someone who knew his job fairly well. Our DPS was a little slow, though, because we had a SMN who wasn't using their Dread Trans at all, but our MNK was very good and I was helping DPS as well, so we were doing okay.

We did have one death in that run, though. During the first boss, the SMN got turned into a toad with me and stood still as the AoE chunked away at their HP through my Medica II. QwQ But maybe the tank was mad about that? I'm not sure. The SMN did say sorry when they died and I said, "S'okay, I got you." And it was all fine and well.

When I asked we were fighting the three stone guys just before the last trash pull before the 2nd boss. For the two previous trash packs I had been talking in my LS while I was healing and DPSing. I might have stood still a couple times, but not for very long since most of my replies were very short like "In a run" "Can you wait?"

So just before we started that last trash pull before the 2nd boss I said, "<short version of tank's name>, my friend and his gf just said they need my help. Would it be possible at all to speed up the run a bit? They're in a bit of a hurry." I managed to type it up (with a couple typos, I might add, but not unreadable) before he pulled the last group. When he was done with the trash pull he stopped for a moment and said, "Sure." So I replied with, "Thank you so much! " and he pulled the 2nd boss almost immediately.

But after that boss he started with the dancing. I didn't say anything 'cause he was missing MP so I thought maybe he was waiting for it to come back before he did a big pull. It was after he only pulled the 4 mammets and started dancing again when they died (despite having full MP) that the party got upset. I didn't say anything other than "?" 'cause I wasn't sure what was wrong. But the MNK said "um pull plz??" and after waiting a minute, the MNK popped Fists of Earth and pulled the next group, the tank popped Sprint and joined us and tanked everything again. But when everything died again he started another dance.

Since I had been the one to ask, I assumed this was directed at me so I just said "Sorry" in the chat. The SMN and MNK went ahead and pulled again, tank popped Sprint and joined us shortly later and this went on for the last remaining trash pulls and final boss.

As soon as the boss died the tank made his comment and I was thoroughly confused, that's why I posted here. Not to complain, but to see if anyone had any idea what I did wrong. o.o 'Cause I really have no idea. The DPS were kind enough to leap to my defense, though, saying things like "ur the one being a dick rn" "you agreed wtf" I actually left while they were still arguing, I simply said "Sorry" again before I left since my offence to the tank also ruined the DPSs' run too. :c

[EDIT] My friend, his gf, and I had a fun time after, though. c: We did the kettle quest together and Ifrit and Garuda ponies dropped for them. We managed to finish just before she had to go off to work, so I guess it all worked out.

Yes. We're always watching and counting the sacrifices o.o

In alexander midas a dragoon told the ninja that his dps sucked and said his dps were low (600) or something. Tbh telling people how low their dps is mean. I mean sometimes i watch the emnity list. The dragoon was nr6 while the ninja was nr4 lol. And the dragoon kept brag about his dmg is bettrr bla bla bla and i didnt do anything cuse i didnt really care. The ninja told him to be quit, he was mad and left. And another dps called dragoon mean stuff too and left xD

Also in ravana farm party finder. The party leader kicked a dps with no warnings and said his dps were below 600.

Tbh for a starter like me i dont know what those numbers mean lol. I dont really care. Its just sad that people has to say their dps meter so they can feel good.thought this game was dmg-free-non-number-freaks-game till i got my main to lv 60 xD

For ravana ex farm parties you need 1000 dps per dps to skip all the mechanics of the fight (well butterflies and orbs) it's pretty much a dummy fight with your only movement being when he jumps and to feed prey to tank. If the pf leader labels it skip butterfly or high dps he is well within his rights to kick those that underperform

To clarify between 400-600 is what a level 50 i130 could do in terms of drg so for a level 60 i200+ only managing those numbers it is very low indeed

Also enmity levels don't really mean that much, since each job apart from monks have abilities to lower their enmity.

The guy in midas normal duty finder was a dick tho, yes 600 dps is very low but he has no rights to verbally insult someone over it.

I don't think you can be kicked in the middle of a fight.
What I mean is, a vote kick cannot be initiated once a fight has started. But if the vote was initiated before the fight started it can still pass during the fight.
At least that's my understanding of it. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

You can also bypass the character limit by editing your original post.

More on topic: I'm sorry to hear that you were kicked for something like that. What a strange reason to kick someone.
I usually don't hesitate to kick an offline player who has been gone for more than a few minutes, especially if it a DPS during prime time. And even more especially if they aren't really pulling their own weight.

Only thing I can think of...is that the person was maybe in their FC?....and it was retaliation for me getting him to kick his "buddy"?

Still absolutely no reason for ME getting kicked...oh well....arses will be arses.

You don't have to ask the leader of the party to kick someone, you can do it yourself Only leaders can sign the party up for duties and kick from a party in the open world/fates, but inside an instance in DF, everyone can vote dismiss, just fyi ^^

I looked at DF and it had no option to start the kicking process....I have seen it only when I have lead.....or maybe I am wrong....Ill check later tonight.

Nah, you open the party list and choose the character in question - then you get the option to either open their profile or start a kick against them.
