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

You know there's a language setting that prevents that from happening entirely!...

If set to a single language under Duty Finder, you shouldn't get a player from other region and such barriers could no longer be an excuse!...

I know there are brain dead players in Eorzea whom just click whatever and don't care at all about what they do but I'm sure they would wonder why they found themselves in the prison in Limsa Lominsa all of a sudden, which should be the punishment for those vote kicking unfairly, so the GMs can explain to them why they are being banned from the game temporarily or permanently!...

Um...no that actually won't work. That isn't how the DF language system works.

Yes, when you queue for DF you can choose a language, but even if you just choose "E" for example for English it doesn't mean you won't get matched with other languages.

Here is why:

Example, I queue for DF and only pick "E" so the game will match me with other people who pick "E".

Problem is anyone can pick "E" even if they aren't English.

So I've had it happen where I got matched with a full party of 3 other players who were French even though I only picked "E", and it is because THEY picked "E" as well. Whether they actually knew English as well I don't know, they spoke to each other in French the whole time, but being Canadian I understand them somewhat anyway, but it was just Tam Tara normal so not like it was something that needed communication usually.

But yeah basically nothing stops people from picking languages that they don't actually understand, and I understand at that point it is their own fault for doing so, but people do that all the time... pick all languages just to try to speed up queue times.

Also to note Leveling Roulette ignores language settings.

Taken from patch notes for 4.05: "To further improve matching speeds for Duty Roulette: Leveling, Duty Finder language settings will now be ignored."

You do know that option to set languages doesnt work. Its obvious you never played on a multilingual server, because even as a japanese player you can select the english language qeue to sign up and get matched with english player.I get regular french players in my groups although i never ever select to qeue up french language

Granted, that's still only leveling roulette, but it is still something to keep in mind.
