Vote Kick Abuse in Frontlines

[sykez]

Most common one on Aether across all 3 Grand Companies are lone wolf's. Unless people know you or you are visibly(changed from actively) contributing, and you didn't die more then what is acceptable (completely random). The boot happens quite often right near the end.

To the OP I can't imagine you have 1k+ frontlines and have not seen this happening. I have been pretty miserable in some matches and not been booted. But I have been healing another party that had no healer and been booted for not being near my party. Luckily that was before they changed the can't get back in. I qued back in and got a " You guys suck and I got the rewards so HA."

hello, not 1k frontlines, I only have 120ish frontlines, half of them were forever ago, but in all of those I'd actually never seen someone vote kicked either, even if our team is losing, everyone is cussing each other out, and people are attempting to vote kick that person who's 0/6 and already given up. 8 man PvP is probably the only potential scenario I'd ever have to get vote kicked, and, you're probably right in regards to the lone wolf part. I was taking bases because my team didn't need me for certain ices since they were free due to their positioning. I understand that among players there's always different strategies players have and sometimes it's hard to "sync" with what everyone should be doing at a certain time. This would be like in league if you're split pushing and your team is yelling at you for not being with the team, when there's actually nothing going on that would require your presence there. I can't imagine how many players would try to vote kick a proxy singed if it was possible for not understanding what that person is even attempting to do.

Votekick stories have two sides, yet we can see only one side here. Need at least 4/8 players to vote Yes, so obviously at least half of the team wasn't happy with what you were doing. Maybe you were a healer and weren't with your team in a crucial moment. Or maybe you died 5+ times and lost some score to your team, who knows. People are so easily pissed off in pvp.

I think there is something fucked up about the fact I can go in with a premade of 4 people and just vote kick someone at the end who sat in a queue for 40+ minutes that helped the team win because there was something particular I did not like about their play style and their mode of thought while receiving no punishment for doing so. I've moved past it, but the potential for it is sad, especially with gc locks, where all they do now is make you hate everyone on your team and the other team. The entire ideal of preconceived comradery is such a facade and all attempting to PvP here has done is make me want to just go back to league.
