Kick function NEEDS to work!

[LordSideKicks]

How about a system that rewards players for participating in boss battles will get full tomestones 1 boss fight 15 tomestones 2 boss fights 40 3 boss fights 100. Or map completion by percentage 1 % 1 tomestones so on and on . Need not kick feature. Afk = less or 0 tomestones

Then you will have no one joining a party in progress that has lost a member..

Reward and completion should definitely be based on being active, either through dealing or taking damage. What I think may happen in some instances is that a group of friends will kick a party member to take loot. Like if a tank gear drops at the mid boss or end of the dungeon and the party (maybe even a group of friends in the same party) decide to kick the tank. How fair is that?

Pretty sure the loot roll window shows up regardless of if you left the duty, so that probably wouldn't work. With that being said, that scenario has a snowball's chance in hell of happening. If 3/4 folks in a group were friends, and one of them wanted the tank gear, he would just queue as the tank. Why would they boot a tank in the middle of a dungeon and have to wait in the queue for a tank again? Regardless, there is an infinitely smaller chance of this happening than one person getting in and saying "Fuck you, gimme free completion or enjoy your 15 minute requeue!" and then going afk with zero consequences. Cause that is happening now =p

A vote kick function is needed, granted it COULD be abused. But currently it only takes 1 person in 4/8 to be an asshole and ruin everyone else's queue. With a majority vote kick, it would take 3/4 or 5/8 to be an asshole and ruin one persons time.

What's more likely, 1 asshole in a group of 8? Or 5+ assholes in a group of 8? Statistically speaking, there is a larger chance of an asshole ruining your queue without the existence of a vote kicker.

Now what would need to be looked at is the duty finder re-queue timer. I'd love to see a Rift style timer where your 15 minutes starts as soon as you enter the dungeon and auto clears after the first boss.

Kick would be used to remove people watching cut scenes. It will never happen because you can leave the instance and do it again yourself without a leech later.

[Kirschey]

What about the whole watch vs. skip cutscenes? If someone wants to watch their cutscene then i can see this being abused to kick that person.

There are even people who openly talk about locking the person out of the boss fight on purpose because they don't skip the scene.

I can't see 3 or 7 people ALL agreeing to kick the guy watching his cutscene. What if multiple people are watching? Can't kick all of them.

And wouldn't locking someone out of a boss fight because they're watching a cutscene be harming the group? I mean you can sit there for a free ride to the boss kill or watch them fail it since they were too impatient.

I'm actually gonna take this one step further -

If you walk into a room with 7 random strangers, and your assumption is that 5 or more of them are assholes, I'm pretty sure I can point out the asshole in the room.

If you walk into a room with 3 random strangers, and your assumption is that all 3 of them are assholes, I know who the asshole in the room is.

Some of them just may have b*tchy resting face. ._.

I've heard horror stories, but luckily have not been in any...bad...parties. :O So I guess I've been spared.

I agree with the vote to kick option. It can be abused, yes...but it still is needed, IMO. Too many jerks in this game, atm.

[Dijana]

I know kicking can be abused, but there are people out there abusing the lack of a kick feature. People will go in to troll or leech and unless everyone else wants to drop and requeue, there's nothing you can do about it :/ I would really like a vote kick feature.
