    I think we'll see a simple fix for this before too long. haven't seen it myself but I have heard of several instances of it from other players. I don't think it would be difficult for the system to be able to first warn a player for inactivity and then to allow the party to kick them if it continues beyond a certain amount of time.

    Party vote kick feature must be implemented. Not only because of the AFK concern, but some peopel are douche bags that need to be vote kicked.

    I can see an afk kicker being exploited by people who group up and queue for duty finder (it would depend on the amount of votes required) just to harass people. A group of 5 entering either CM or Prae and constantly votekicking the other 3 and anyone else who joins since they're the majority (or 7 people but that wouldn't be as bad).

    anything can be abused, but that which you exampled is less common than the other issues.

    Less common but more problematic.

    People will boot anyone in a cut scene immediately. This is not going to happen.

    If that's the will of the majority, then so be it. I know it sounds harsh, but an up-or-down vote on those types of things is the only fair resolution under the current system. For what it's worth, I think there are much better resolutions if they adopt changes to the current queue system. I've seen some great ones suggested on this site.

    I dont know, from my experiece, an AFKer is less common than people being douches kicking people they dont like, based on gear or names, etc. When Vote Kicking is concerned. When you take a weapon from a type of griefer, all you are doing is giving it to another type.
