Dungeon Kick Feature..?

[FlowRinzai]

We had a player DC right before the last boss in Cutters Cry an hour in. We had 30 min left. Waited a few and decided to try it with 3 people. After several wipes, we made it with 2 minutes left. The fact that we couldn't kick the disconnected player is absolutely ridiculous. It took us an hour to get to that point. If we couldn't finish the last boss, what were we supposed to do? Leave and try again? There NEEDS to be a kick option for DC/AFK players

[_C-a-e-r-i-t-h_]

We had a player come in, /sit down, and tell us to "PLEACE LEAVE." He wasn't AFK, he just refused to move or do anything. Or maybe move a little bit, then sit down again.

Guess who gets the "Deserter" penalty in that case?

There doesn't just need to be a kick. There needs to be a dungeon blacklist.

Would be nice, then I could avoid all the bad tanks, and dps, that stand in stuff and do not know how to aoe tank. Seriously, when one cure spell pulls all the mobs off a tank at 45 there is a problem and that player never would have gotten the good gear they had if we could kick them instead of carrying them and listening to them whine when we wipe because they refuse to learn their role/class and mechanics or even listen when someone explains it nicely to them. Why should I be penalized 15 minutes when I am tired of wiping and racking up a repair bill because of someone that just will never get it?

The game should just auto-kick anyone thats been AFK for 5 mins. Players should not be able to kick other players via a vote.

Otherwise I would have kicked 75% of all the tanks I have ever grouped with. And then there would be even less tanks.

Yes, it may need a Kick Feature for dungeon run. However my suggestion is, unlock the Kick Feature when there is a member AFK or didn't do any move for several minutes and party member can only kick the AFKers not active member. If every member are active in the dungeon then the Kick Feature must be locked.

Kick feature is well know as an overabused function to kick innocent honest players at certain key point (last boss, inviting a guildy and taking credits, money, drop, what ever for example).
It would be a shame and i would not play this game anymore if kick (and abuse of it) is introduced.

The simple easy solution is put a afk timer. If a player don't hit a mob/interact with other players (like healing) for more than 8 minutes he will be automatically kicked out from the queue group, back in town with 15 minutes lockout, and his seat automatically replaced.
A repeated attitude attempting to afk using an exploit to not be kicked must be investigated, leading to a suspension of the account/jail.

Simple solutions, everyone is happy

I think it'd be abused and would make many people quit ff14. How do you think a guys gonna feel being kicked for sucking? Or what about abusers who kick for item priority? It needs an auto kick option.

that would be a good thing, if they suck and can not improve they have no business tanking.

has not cost any other mmo that uses it any subscribers. How do you think we feel for not being able to progress because we are forced to carry someone that sucks only to not be able to complete in the first place.
People are more likely to quit because they can not progress in the garuda mission or a more difficult fight or dungeon because we can not kick the healer that is under geared and has no clue how to heal or use their detuant to refresh their mp and refuses to drop out so the group can get a better healer or a similar situation with a tank or a dps that will not follow instructions. I was stuck 3 days trying to finish the garuda fight because we could not kick incompetent players that refused to do the mechanics after repeatedly explaining it and ending with a failed attempt due to time running out or getting a debuff because i got tired of banging my head against the wall trying to explain to an idiot that has no buisness tanking that he has to tank garuda away from the rocks, or explaining to a dps to kill the feathers. tried 30 damn times. i damn near deleted my dragoon and uninstalled due to it. GF talked me out of it so here I am still playing. other people will not be as patient and forgiving. Then there are the trolls, why wait and waste time, let us instantly kick and be done with it. I for one am tired of being forced to carry dead weight if I want to get anything done when my usual team is offline.

And as far as item priority goes, if someone gets kicked after a boss fight they still get to roll on the item. This has NEVER been an issue in any of the games I have seen it in.
