In a 4 person party 2 is enough to get the motion to pass, 4 in an 8 man is enough to get it to pass.

I've only had an experience this vile once, reported it, and was contacted by a GM in a few hours.
It's worth reporting for sure.
But yes, remember you always have the option to vote-kick toxicity away.
Go ask reddit why a "bad-commendation" (downvote) is a bad idea.
Report, vote-kick, if that doesn't work - leave duty.![]()
You also fed into it by provoking (rather, adding fuel by giving him what he wanted: a reaction) him and there was 0 need to mention sexuality... Next time, do a vote kick and just report.

This game has a serious problem - when you report facts, not even report, when you present an evidence of the said facts with names included it is considered naming and shaming... nope! The player has shamed themselves by their own actions so posting the chat log should not be considered naming and shaming at all... yet it is.
Some "naming and shaming" would be nice for a change tbh. Too many players are exploiting this nice immunity of having no track record and then the rest of the community has to suffer them because the report feature is ineffective.
The main reason why the Party Finder is not working for the harder content and so many groups disband after few wipes is caused by the players who ignore the comments.
Getting to the phase XYZ once does not mean you are ready to join parties to do XYZ.
Parties should spend most of the time doing the phase that is written in the comment not trying to get there.
I'd have to agree. Your essentially giving him ammunition to use against you by mentioning things like that. Your sexuality was none of his business. He wasn't worth your time so tempting as it might be to defend yourself have zero tolerance for it. just kick and report instead.
I remember mining in ffxi when I came across a fellow miner who ended up mining in the same spot I was. back then this was considered a no no, but he was so frightened that I would rat him out over the internet and across the server that he tried paying me off with a darksteel ore.This game has a serious problem - when you report facts, not even report, when you present an evidence of the said facts with names included it is considered naming and shaming... nope!

We may have a need for accountibility, but what you are looking for is playing with fire. It wouldn't take a lot of time before "some naming and shaming" turns into "whole broadcasts on social media" which would fuel harassment in game.

I guess I can kind of see where the angry player was coming from. Sounds like you were in a regular dungeon where nothing at all is a threat, and no amount of skill is even demanded from the players. The only times you ever die in those dungeons are from the tanks pulling too much or a healer completely not handling a simple but critical mechanic on boss fights (Satasha Hard, Slime -> Tail Screw for example). I have to wonder if the gameplay was such an issue that it was even worth bringing up given that we all know how people react to advice.
Beyond that, if you do argue with someone like this, you just encourage them, so don't do that next time. Just initiate the vote kick if it's that big of an issue. If they kick you instead, that might be a measure of injustice in the cosmic sense, but it does get you out of that group and allows you to queue again.
I really wish we could name and shame players who play terribly. Maybe then people would give two shits about their party members.
