Look at this! o.o Please kick function soon :/

My favourite problem is tank s ruining in ignoring everything then popping a chest and abandoning the duty. I've had this happen twice both with me as a healer SCH. But I really want to know how that happened, when a battle start everyone is put on the hate table. I know this is a fact as that when you on SMN with a pet out set to it's default combat style, as soon as you get any enimty you pet attacks the first thing on that list. I ust get into the battle area and my Garuda is already flinging off spells and I'm just targeting and casting my first spell. Maybe he ninja jumped into the battle at the very last second by being out of the battle area as the battle started then at ~13/14 seconds jumped in and afked?

For all of those talking about a potential emergency, simply put, the evidence isn't in favor of that. We had one of these afk'ers in my party last night, and the 30 minute auto-timeout boots them the same as anyone else. If he managed to stay there the entire time without being booted, it's because he was present, but just didn't want to contribute. If there really had been an emergency, he would have disappeared after half an hour.

TL;DR: No. Just no.

A kick feature WILL be abused. If it is implemented, how long do you think it will be before party leaders are kicking people for watching cutscenes? This specific mission is part of the main story, and people want to see it played out. If people could do that, it would become a nightmare and borderline impossible for someone to enjoy the game the way it was intended to be.

With or without kick, people who need to go through the DF will be trolled. At least with it you have some semblance of control over more situations than others.

And you do realise there are other games with the kick system that employ multiple support tools to make it more fair, right?

[Genjimasa]

I say an in-game karma system gets implemented that allows a LARGE number of downvotes to render a player's experience in a negative fashion. Whether, it is higher prices for everything, teleports, etc. or a lockout from participating in any social events such as FATEs, groups, etc.

We need a tool to police are own playerbase.

I didn't specify any names. I just don't understand why this guys name, screen and everything got blasted out here, then followed with a link to his lodestone profile with calls to blist him.

I didn't mean to make people blacklist him or anything . I just wanted to show that there should be a kick feature or something that will solve this. Even if a person has a legitimate reason to just have to go without leaving the party, we should be able to kick the person. Maybe better than that it would be if a person would be kicked from an instance automatically if they're not moving for 10m. I didn't want to name people. I really didn't even think about not showing his name and I'm sorry for that. I edited my SS probably a little too late.

I can confirm one of my castrum parties dealt with Gloomy as well, he was afk under entire time, joined up in last second only to get his points.

This is a more appropriate response to this situation I think. You have dealt with him personally before and are informing other of it with detail. You are not posting his information and calling for a witch hunt.

[RinoaHeartilly]

and ? whats the problem with exposing this guy? if he didnt want to be exposed , he better dont troll the DF players like that.

Players need to learn that this things have consequences, if no1 does anything about it ,more ppl will do it.

Since SE doesnt care , i guess the only thing we can do is that , expose players that troll the DF so we can avoid them like the plague. and blacklist if they are on our own server.


This guys is doing a favor to all the ppl that want a kick feature.

girl*
And I really didn't mean to expose him though especially because he may have had a reason.
I just want some solution to this. I get an afk person in 80% of my CM runs, but in this case it was worse than a dps just not doing anything.

Well, guess I don't feel so bad anymore.

[TakezoKensei]

Actually Rinoa I have no problem with your post. The people that called for the witch hunt are the people I take issue with. I think something needs done, I am just not smart enough to know what. I guess vote kicking would be the least abusable function.

[BlackShroudMercs]

Mob mentality and a person's tendency to renounce all personal responsibility for their choices and actions would skew a vote and kick feature and make it worse for a far greater amount of people than you might realize.

Duty finder is a gamble. If a person expects to win every time they gamble then they have greater problems that need addressed.

OMG dude, we need a vote to kick, had it in DCUO and it was only ever used for the greater good. Problem players need kicked, I NEVER saw a group kick someone for fun, there was always a reason.

I'm tired as hell of some of you peoples reasoning to avoid this, part of me suspects you may be the same folks making the DF such a "fun" place.

We need vote to kick..3of4 7of8 that's how DC does it and no one has to deal with what the OP did there..
