    new option: vote wipe

    In many games you are given the option to restart when messing up or if you are stuck and know you are about to die and have to restart anyways. Restarting is a very fast option to not waste time. In ffxiv, this is not an option. I have been in situations where the boss is just standing there, everyone else is dead, and no way to finish myself off to save time.
    Vote wipe would work like this: One person is alive. They cannot die. Or maybe they refuse to die and their kit lacks any resources to revive people and/or bring the fight back to a managable level. There may be other aplicable situations.
    Vote wipe would work like other party voting systems such as vote abandon and vote kick. Except unlike vote kick vote wipe can be done mid-battle.

    I'm surprised this game lacks this feature.

    Most boss arenas where it matters have a death wall or cliff you can use to reset the fight quickly.

    Assuming the last player alive does that. Some will try to solo the whole fight.

    It wouldn't need such a feature if the trinity was intact.

    Most, yes. Not all. Barbariccia Ex was super annoying with this because wiping took forever if the last people standing were tanks.

    Watching a guy having a slapfight with the boss for 10 minutes and then die to a mech with the boss at 1% is not exactly riveting gameplay.

    If I can solo the fight, it's my right to do so. Why should people who failed the mechanics, potentially multiple times, get to forcefully reset the fight and waste my time?

    For example, if a party wipes 3 times in a row, and I just decide to solo the fight on the third time, maybe it's for the better since they might never get through the fight otherwise. It also allows them to sit and watch someone do the mechanics flawlessly for ages which has the effect of teaching them the mechanics.
