Changes to dungeon kick system?

[Ariabeth]

I can't find any info regarding this at all, but has kicking from dungeons changed?

I remember a situation in HW where we kicked the same person from AntiTower 3 or 4 times, them returning over and over. Or we can't get an in-prog tank so I leave and re-queue to 'swap jobs' that way.

Today I tried it again, killed the boss and trash up to the next boss in Aetherfont without a tank while it was trying to find one. I asked to be kicked so I could re-queue, but the 3 queue attempts before penalty all didn't show the in-prog dungeon.
First two popped instantly, the third queue didn't pop for a solid minute.

Has the system changed? Or did they happen to get a tank the moment I leave despite no tanks showing up for 10 minutes?


Edit:

Why would you need to be kicked from a group that was missing a tank? You can leave a dungeon freely when one of the players is missing.

The only reason why you got the penalty could be that a tank showed up right in the split second you left the group.

Thanx! I didn't know you could leave an incomplete party without penalty!
I got the penalty because I attempted to re-queue 4 times, cancelling every time I saw the pop not to be in-prog.

You cannot rejoin a duty that you were kicked from. This change was implemented some time after HW launch; however I can't find the patch notes that mention it.

If you want to change jobs to fill a vacant role, just leave, change jobs, and requeue. If at that point it doesn't offer you the in-progress duty, it means it was already offered to someone else.

I guess that's what I was after, some confirmation on kicking/rejoining not being a thing anymore, thanx!

You'd have to ask the other two people in that instance.

However I have definitely had someone leave, switch roles and then queue again and get back in. It just won't work if someone else was available in prog for that duty, which seems a 50/50 chance..

Seems like they got a tank right when you queued up. And you wouldn't need to be kicked if the party wasn't full. Can leave without penalty in those cases. I've been on dps before and we lost our healer and I've come back as healer after leaving.

Why not just wait for tank, they are pretty common today, and you would most likely end having to wait in queu longer anyway.
