I still have not seen a single compelling argument against implementing a vote kick system. Every single argument is predicated on the idea that the majority is always going to troll you, kick under geared players, kick undesirable classes, kick because they don't like your name. What none of you have failed to mention is that it would only take 1 person to disagree with the kick in a 4 man group to prevent this.

Current system:
1 person can ruin it for everyone

Vote kick system:
1 person can no longer ruin it for everyone, but 1(or 3 in an 8 man) person can also prevent abuse by voting no kick

Last game I ran was Rift, in their group finder I've had to have clocked thousands upon thousands of dungeon runs over the 2+ years I played that. I can't even remember how many times I actually saw someone kicked in a group, but if I had to guess it would probably fit on one hand. So less than a percent of the time? People don't just randomly kick people for obscure paranoid reasons. They usually just keep on trucking.

My contention is that the only reason people even think to act in this manner is because they know that the only recourse left to the other people in the group is to leave, take a 15 minute penalty, then rejoin a potential hour long queue. Adding a vote kicking system isn't about empowering some imagined system of the elite, it's about making sure a single individual can't ruin the rest of the party's experience with impunity.

Let me try and put it another way, I may have been a little to subtle with my previous post:

1. A vote kick system requires a majority(75%+) of the group to vote kick for someone to be removed.
2. If you vote to kick someone for a non-legitimate reason, it's implied that you're an asshole.
3. The claims that a vote kick system would be constantly abused implies that the majority of the players in this game will kick players for non-legitimate reason, or in other words the majority of the players in this game(75%+) are assholes.
4. If 75%+ of the people in the game are assholes, and it only takes 1 asshole to ruin a group, what are the chances that there won't be an asshole in your group?

Answer:
0% - Anyone that assumes 75% of the people they meet are assholes is most assuredly an asshole themselves.

QED good sir, QED!
