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

In one post you complain you are unfairly kicked for someone not playing properly, then another post you admit you kick somebody for not playing properly after you harass them for not having the gear you approve of ... sounds like SE should just give you special veto privileges ... maybe you are head of household?

Sounds to me like you attract drama and instead of always being the victim you should take a look at how you are treating other people.

If SE wants to investigate the rumored abuse of vote kick system it would be quite easy to do. Set up counters on each character, one for votes initiated and another for vote kicked. Each week/month/quarter/whatever they can check the percentage of instances run compared to votes initiated and times kicked. Determine an acceptable range for each and then take actions accordingly. They do this without telling anyone and they can collect all the data they would need.

I believe the outcome would be there is not rampant abuse, there is not even "just rare" abuse. There are most likely 100s of thousands of instances completed by the community as a hole without abuse happening. People who keep running into this constantly getting kicked are just being jerks and randoms don't like them for it.

They could increase the vote requirement from 2 to 3 in 4-man content but that usually isn't going to matter.
