Kick function NEEDS to work!

[Bronxchulo]

Me and others just spent a whole Castrum run having one player that just joined the instance just to not move from the start the whole run. All he did was join the instance just so he could get the 100 Tomes and not do anything.

This really should not be allowed to happen....

If they had a vote to kick feature sadly it would just be abused by assholes... "lulz no full darklight tank get outta herrre"

Something needs to be done. Why do we have to put up with ppl who wanna join an instance just to have others do the work, while they do nothing and get credit for it. That ruins the game for others

Welcome to human behaviour. Good luck trying to moderate it without there being negative side effects in differing situations for other people. rtpsoulx's example is definitely the most poignant example I can think of, and exactly why a kick function must not go in.

As for Castrum, the wait time on that instance, (presuming you even need to use the DF - I just sit in Revenant's and apply via chat there, tbh,) is so low, if having a guy go AFK was such an offence to you all, you could've just split to deny him the benefit. You'd have been back in the instance in 10 minutes anyway, at most.

If that happens your just get the other 6 people to report the character. He will be thrown into GM jail in no time.

The fact that there is no kicker is already abused by assholes. And it's a lot harder to have 3 assholes in a team of 4 or 5 in a team of 8 than to have 1...

So, it's really not a good reason for not adding it.

You people all constantly assume the worst from every system. WoW has a vote kick system. It is rarely abused by the population at large. Lots of games have vote kick and rarely abuse it. Why are you so paranoid? Are you doing something you shouldn't be?

Instead of a kick a participation reward could be implemented. Anyone who stands there will receive the golden "Duty Completed" but no reward; kicking would work too but like some have said it can go both ways.

We had someone go afk in castrum right after the first boss. Didn't say and word and, of course, stayed until the end. Never moved or anything. Reporting effects can take hours and we weren't about to stop at the final boss waiting as long as we could just in case. There absolutely needs to be a kick function.

They should just have an auto kick/replace on it. E.g. design a contribution algorithm to all the content in the dungeon. E.g. say there's a trash pack of 4 mobs. If someone stands there and does nothing for that trash pack they get a contribution value of 0, and those that generated enimity (tanking/healing/dps) get a contribution value of 1. If someone gets a 0, give them an onscreen warning (Your contribution was 0, 4 more and you will be kicked). Then if they are still afk for 4, kick them and bring in someone else.

Secondly I think if someone gets kicked or leaves, the dungeon should be scaled to match. Sometimes people leave and no one joins back because people uncheck the join runs in progress box. So if a DPS leaves and it's a 4 dps dungeon, then the bosses and trash should have their HP scaled down my 25% or so to allow the run to succeed with 7 people, 3 dps 2 tanks 2 healers. If a healer leves then stuff should do less dmg. The second someone joins, it should be unscaled. Optionally they could give the group buffs to compensate call it the "Man Down Buff" and have it stack for each person missing. Healers get more healing power, tanks get hp buff/enimity buff, dps gets dmg multiplier. They would need to balance this on a tight rope.
