Is the vote kick system improperly implemented for how it's actually being used?

[SigmaOZ]

The current "Vote" system is flawed and is far from being fair!...

Do you know what happens when two members of the same FC or two friends of a same world join a light party together!?... They immediately have the voting majority and become a real threat to the remaining party members if they decide to take the course of the duty in a given way!...

For instance, I was kicked from a duty some nights ago because tank and healer were playing together and I dared to tell them they were doing a poor job after several wipes throughout the dungeon and many more in front of the final boss, the healer even excused himself by saying all of his gear was broken, I initiated a vote dismiss against the tank but it was rejected and then I was dismissed in revenge and all because they had the voting majority, that proves a single character is defenseless when two or three scheme jointly!...

My solution to prevent abusing of the vote system is to force players to write a short report explaining the reasons on which they decide to dismiss someone, said report should then be seen by all party members, including the one to be dismissed, after that the voting would take place and if the majority agrees one player should be dismissed!...

Another way would be to have the ability to invoke a GM inside the duty before the voting could take place so the authorities would decide what is fair and whom should be dismissed!...

I would seriously doubt of anyone opposing to such measures in order to prevent abuses, for obvious reasons!...

You know people are still going to click yes/no to get the chat window out of the way, right? The same way people click yes in a ready check even when they're not ready.

In addition, unless they give the auto-translate tool a major overhaul, certain data centers are going to have even more cases of not being able to read other language's complaints. If I'm on my EU alt and a pop up in french happens, both me and the person getting voted on are SOL lol

What would a short message change? They still have the vote majority, thus you'll still be kicked. Allowing the person targeted by the dismissal to vote accomplishes nothing. You couldn't kick the tank since he won't vote against himself nor will the healer since they're friends. It's simply a reverse of the same problem you're complaining about. As for GM intervention. That requires having GMs constantly available on the off chance abuse happens. It's essentially paying someone to do very little most of the time since these types of incidents aren't common. Forcing people to play together when there is a clear disagreement just doesn't work. Even in the event a GM refused to allow them kicking you. Okay, great. Do you think the tank and healer are going to accommodate you? Now they're pissed and may intentionally perform even worse out of spite. And you can't claim abuse since GMs aren't able to moderate play style.

It sucks, however the best recourse to being kicked is simply shrugging it off.
