Did you know not performing as you think another player should in a group

As a Member of Lev's group running with him, and as a Former BLM I can verify his original statement. Yes the BLM did not cast a fire or an ice spell, which are the main damage output for BLM! If you are going to run a dungeon as any class and sit there actually doing the bare minimum on purpose for no actual reason then yea, I'm gonna kick you. If the BLM would have said flat out I want to see if this is possible, or if he had an actual reason, I would have been fine with it. But because he refused to actually give a reason and didn't want to play the class as designed I agreed to the kick. Does that make me rude? If you think so sure, but it also makes the BLM just as rude for wasting our time

Did you wipe..If not..You where completelly wrong IMO.Not a chance I am going to see your cause for ruining somebodies enjoyment of the game when it was not personally harming you in any way. I would never vote for it. Not a chance. Sound sot me like you guys where harrasing him actually.

This is an indefensible point. You say you have to respect everyones preferred gameplay method but then tell other people who don't share your opinion that they are wrong.

We have opinions and preferences as well and they are not automatically wrong. In the end majority rules, that BLM got kicked (as he should have been) and people who play that way will continie to get kicked (as they should if they dont respond to friendly advice) so you are on the losing side here.

Ok, what about everyone else's enjoyment? GMs say "Playstyle Differences" and won't intervene. Not wiping isn't the only thing that matters. Most people don't want that. I'll be blunt here, with your attitude, expect to be kicked from many more groups. If someone initiates a VK because of one wipe, I won't accept the vote. But toxic attitude, refusal to improval (not to be confused with inability to improve), etc, I will kick for. The BLM being snarky when asked about it and refusing to improve or even listen to the advise, yeah I'd kick for that. I'll understand if you're struggling and I'll always try to advise first, but if you get nasty with me over it, I have no regrets kicking. It's group play, everyone's needs are treated equally (except in mitigating circumstances such as you're new, you have a disability, etc). Pulling the "my sub my way" card, when everyone else disagrees in the group, that's a valid "playstyle difference" kick.

Using Mr. Destatiredux example.
The BLM was rightfully kicked. This is not the game to "Pick your path."
If BLM had given us a Lightning path then sure, but it doesn't.
So yep, the guy gets kicked. Sorry, that's definitely trolling and wasted a colossal waste of
everyones time and at 70, there's no excuse for it.
