Kick function NEEDS to work!

[Kirschey]

I don't know why people automatically assume a vote-to-kick option would be abused to kick the undergeared.

In my worst experience, Tera for example, the 15man battlegrounds. Occasionally a player would pop up with incredibly low item level. Think L30/40 white/green gear at L60. Or a 60 would put on low level gear as a joke (not the reflect types.) Or someone would prevent the afk auto-kick by running into a wall so they could get the other 14 people to carry them to their points. Members would repeatedly try to kick them, but there's always that one person who goes "NO that would be mean ;_; " Being THAT undergeared, you are helping nothing. Purposely trying to make your team lose, or being afk expecting a carry, I don't know why anyone wouldn't kick them.

Far more often people abuse the fact that a vote-to-kick system doesn't exist or is flawed, rather than dicks abusing it because you aren't "overgeared" for an instance.

i know wow had a vote kick system that needed to be approved by the majority of the remaining players before passing also to avoid people abusing the system they had implemented that if you initiated a kick on someone you had a timer till you were able to kick someone again though i rarely saw people being kicked from the group, minus the people who just went nuts.

I brought this up for discussion last week.

Interesting there are opposing views.

NB do not name and shame any players or you risk a suspension from the OF.

....and another very valid concern brought by the community, ignored by the community management team. Guess this will be like anything else. We wont hear a thing until patch day someday in the future where this will all of a sudden get added. Sure wish we had better communication. This isn't the 90s anymore SE!

Sounds like you want a "report AFK" button enough vote and if the person does not move then they are kicked out, This would not fix all cases and some people would find away around but, It would stop some of the abuse, without people kicking for gear checks/etc...

Why not just make a minimum damage threshold to get credit for the dungeon sort of like how FATEs work, or at the very least require the person to be inside the actual final boss zone to receive credit?

Id rather see a cross server blist function so I wont have to party with them ever again.

FC mates had a WHM join an Ifrit run specifically to pull hate and wipe the group, forcing someone else to take the 15 minute lockout. 15 minutes isn't the end of the world, but when a dickbag forces you to get locked out just because there isn't a vote-kick, something definitely needs to happen.

Even if SE thought the game wouldn't be popular, I'm surprised they didn't think to add a vote-kick for DF. It's just so blatantly obvious.

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

That's worse than allowing the assholes to run rampant? I think not.

It needs to happen, despite peoples unfounded fears of getting troll-kicked.

Did you at least report him?
