Vote Kick penalty

[Kaurie]

If they want to leave, why don't just kick them?

Here's a scenario for you: BLM gets into a Level 60 dungeon while only just barely meeting the ilvl requirement to be there. He/She knows the BLM rotation, but is doing relatively low dps due to being undergeared, so the tank and healer (who wanted a sub-20m dungeon run) kick him/her for not doing enough DPS, even though he/she was doing good DPS for the ilvl. Yes, that happens. Situations like that are why there shouldn't be a penalty associated with a vote kick.

As for the situation with people asking to be kicked...Report them, then decide as a group after doing so whether to continue with the "dead slot", kick, or wait (yes, right in front of the jerk).

Uhm? Asking for a vote kick is a reportable offence under griefing tactics "refusal of participation". You are aware of that right? It has been since like 2.4

I should know.

Some turd reported me when I accidentally joined World of Darkness and asked for a courtesy kick (as a DPS) and I got a mark against my account for it.

No, because the people unfairly kicked will eat a penalty thet they don't deserve.

Why should I kick a tank that doesn't want to do the dungeon when they've got the shortest queues?

[Thortok2000]

My suggestion is this.

We have a reason why we're vote kicking. Maybe add a few more options there. Such as: Refusing to participate.

If you're kicking someone for refuse to participate, they get a 5-week penalty from queuing for the duty finder.

If you abuse the kick system and kick someone for refusal to participate, and they were actually participating, which can be automatically detected (doesn't need GM review), then you get a 10-week penalty from queuing for the duty finder.

There, problem solved.

Already suggested that years ago but not as harsh. a 48 lockout on all instances. If you pulled that crap in Aeion Online they automatically lock you out of all instances for 48 hours.

There needs to be one for players who get kicked, sick of tanks asking to be vote kicked because they don't like the dungeon they got on leveling roulette.

never had this problem on Tonberry.
