Dungeon Kick Feature..?

[Blueoutt]

So this has probably happend to you, but what happens when a player has either just AFK'd or D/C'd for an extended period of time. Just sat in Amdapor Keep for 15 minutes waiting for someone at the start. Had to leave and now we have the "Deserter" debuff :/ Can't see why there isn't a kick option.

Thats a bug, happened to me before. The said person didnt even really appear.

[Blueoutt]

No he appeared, then had the "D/C" symbol next to his name. Was good fun waiting in the instance. Would be cool if I could leave the dungeon while waiting, but if they had that feature it would obvious that they would also have the kick feature :/

wont happen because if you can kick people players "may be mean"

So the better solution is to assume the worse? Right. Glad SE would rather just have us sit in dungeons with people AFK for an absurd amount of time and/or D/C.

In the situation where someone disconnects or doesnt move for 5 minutes, a kick feature would be fine. However since you are a 50 you should understand why this feature is more detrimental to the community than a 15 minute penalty for leaving. Do you really want to see new players get into Keep and be booted out because they don't want to speed run? Do you really want to be booted if you accidentally get knocked off by the demon wall? The community is already a craphole when it comes to FATEs (Class exclusion, Dark Devices death threats) and Keep (Can't finish Keep in 15 minutes, you're labeled as a crap player).

+1 for vote kick function.

A kick option is a very bad idea.

There should only be a kick option if someone has been afk at least 8 minutes.

You obviously haven't done very much.

This reply is pretty rude, and makes no sense given the topic. I didn't see you say this to anyone else in the thread that disagreed with you, AND brought up kick being good after a certain amount of time. What Unaki said is spot on. You don't have to be level 50 to know that the kinds of reasons Unaki gave can happen in any dungeon where a rude party leader can kick anyone for any reason, including thinking the player is a bad player because they make a mistake, or the speed run issue, or whatever other reasons there can be.

And actually I have done more than you think. I have 3 characters, though 1 was deleted after phase 3 which was my highest level character. I then started an Elezen arcanist in phase 4 for a min-max build, but recently decided I wanted to choose my preferred race Hyur or Miqo'te rather than min-max build for arcanist since I planned to play every class/job. This was before I knew of the Fantasia I'd be getting. You're technically saying just because I've only played the first 7 dungeons in the game that I can't say whether kick is good or bad. That's the silliest thing I've ever heard. I'm well aware of the time limit and how every minute counts in the tougher dungeons, even though I haven't played them since they're beyond the first 7.

I don't have to do Amdapor Keep to know that a kick option is bad, though I could see it being ok if they're afk for a certain amount of time.
