No kick feature in dungeons...Follow

Ok, so I guess many have complained about lack of kick feature already, but I'm getting really tired of the issue.

Done CM quite a few times on the last few days, and Ive had someone (usually tank) flaming, afking and trolling the run. You cant do anything about it, and top of that they get rewarded for other people clearing the dungeon.

Share your thoughts about this.

This would be bad in the same sense as "That person isnt listening to what i say, so i should kick him" or "I'm jealous of his gear" or "I dont like his face".

There's just too much wrong with being allowed to kick someone from a PUG with a randomly asigned leader.

Also gives trolls the option to just kick everyone right before the boss. Or at the end of the dungeon and have a friend join in for the win.

Seriously, we have enough trouble as it is already. This is something we most definitely do NOT need.

Dont like your group? Leave.

One person having all the power would definitely cause problems, but maybe there could be some type of voting system?

People suggest a voting system. Like a tally, if all the party members vote on 1 person, they get kicked.

Not really perfect. Rift had the issue in Instant Adventure groups where people would just click "yes" to get the window to go away. Nevermind the "pre-formed" groups that'd just kick people because they weren't part of their group.

I can get that bad apples suck and that hoping someone might join an in-progress dungeon is a crap shoot, especially when you'd been queued for an hour+ as a DPS. The only real safe way to avoid this is to just party with friends and hope the princess types burn out sooner rather than later.

Voting wouldn't work either, soon as you have someone start a vote, the person being voted against becomes an instant ******* and stops caring entirely.

You do have an option, it's leaving, and entering the dungeon finder again.

I couldn't agree more with PH. I am especially glad there isn't a vote option for kicking. Especially after reading some of the other threads about some players whining that someone is not playing precisely according to their own playstyle.

The game was designed to allow more than one way to accomplish an end result, get used to PUG'ing or like the others suggested, leave the party and re-enter the queue.

The only thing the duty finder needs at the moment IMO is faster recognition when the party loses a player due to logging off or whatnot.

There needs to be something.. Being stuck in an instance with either a AFKer or someone who is trolling the group and wasting everyones times is horrible.

Lets say you have been waiting for an instance for 1 hour or more and you finally get one than someone just AFK's with no word... what do you do? Nothing.. cuz there is no kick option. Or the tank is in all vender gear and you all keep dieing.. (thankfully the GS thing will fix that). Or even some jerk just pulling groups and has everyone wipe over and over.. yea there needs to be a kick option

Actually, it is instant the moment there is a free slot open in the party. Finding a member depends on a few things. First, only people who selected "join in progress" can join an already started run. Second, only 1 person will be matched to go to your party and that person has 45 seconds to say yes or no. If the duty finder meeps finding people who are AFK or can't immediatley click accept, it's going to appear as if no one wants to join.

As for the vote kicking, this is a great idea. The reason were vote kicking someone is BECAUSE they don't care. They will have a much better reason to act like a responsible human being if they have the fear of being kicked. Thats potential time lost to them, and rightfully so.

This still has a down side though. The majority of people in your party queued up as a party, then your vote will never pass and those people will be able to act as douchey as they want. But at least this feature would reduce the amount of douchebaggary i see at least half the time.

That's awful when you're a dps.

(15 minute duty finder cooldown + 30-60 minute queue) * X number of times you need to do it = Smiley: banghead

Voting systems aren't perfect, but we need SOMETHING.

Well, a vote kick will need a few caveats. First would be it can't be done in combat. Second it can't be done while there's loot to distribute. I'd also say it should be locked between the phase of killing a boss and opening its respective coffer drop(s). That way you cut down significantly on loot griefing.

There definitely should be a vote kick. Yesterday I was helping a friend with Guildhests and we were doing the one where you have to kill all 5 monsters at once. The BLM ignored us for over 15 minutes and continued to kill targets individually. Eventually we just had to leave. The guy didn't communicate at all.
#13 Sep 15 2013 at 12:05 PM Rating: Excellent
This is all part of the game, to be able to kick people on a whim or because their gear is not up to your standards or for whatever reason you wish, should never happen. You know people will abuse it and abuse it horribly, peoples eligibility should never depend on what you decide is right and proper. Now I think people who go AFK for an overly long time and show no movement should be automatically removed from the dungeon. Being a newb and having a different competence level is just normal.

I disagree. If someone is blatantly ignoring all communication and ignoring the objective for over a half hour, they deserve to be removed from the party.

The player in question didn't attempt to respond, even with an "ok" or "I'll try" when given instructions.

I would accept an option if 3/4 vote to kick in a 4 player party. That seems very reasonable. If 100% of every player (3/3) wants you to be kicked, then you have to be doing something wrong.

You can kick, but it has to be the leader of the group.

Actually no it is not always instant, but thanks anyway for stating the obvious that DF only adds people who selected join in progress for a party that loses members midway. I love how the game hasn't been out a month yet and yet there are already tons who think that somehow they are the only one who comprehends the game, were possibly ever in beta or early access.

As far as responsible human beings go, after 16 years of online gaming, the majority of the time I have seen personally when players are given an option to kick someone out of the party, is they act anything but a human being. Those players are usually kicking out of spite and focusing more on nerd raging over a few pixels instead of trying to enjoy the game without having an aneurysm.

And obviously SE tends to see this same perspective since they didn't give into the whining on this topic during beta for which I am glad for.

I have a feeling this wasn't actually necessary. Restating information is sometime better than assuming everyone knows everything.

Had a guy who needed to afk during Praetorian because it was dinner and he was hungry.

Had another guy afk in AK because he needed smokes...the store was across the street so no worries....

Vote kick is needed for these reasons. Without people know they can do whatever they want and get away with it.

Whenever you think a kick feature is too harsh, just remember that BLMs had Warp 2 in FFXI.

Honestly, the benefits of this are worth it. yeah it sucks, people can be asshats and kick you for no reason, In WoW i got kicked from a dungeon cause I needed on a piece of gear that was a huge upgrade, and another player got pissed cause it was his 10th time running the dungeon for that piece, and I wouldn't just hand it over.

Personally, I'd rather run that chance that I might get kicked by some retards I wouldn't normally play with, then be stuck in a dungeon with some retards I wouldn't normally play with.

Or, just make friends in game, so you don't have to pug with morons, at least, that's what I do...

I can see a lot of anyfair booting. i got called a lootwhore because i kept winning the loot drops in halatali and i could see people kicking you just because you won the chests more often then they did.

Two sides to this argument. Two ways to abuse the Duty Finder system. I think the issue is the randomness of the Duty Finder itself, and the anonymity it helps to perpetuate. The most logical solution is not to use the Duty Finder.

I can't swing a dead cat without hitting someone in the game. It stands to reason I should be able to communicate with them, and form a group of others that meet my own goals and time schedule. I ask myself... am I too lazy to recruit other like-minded individuals? Or is it I just like the notion of abuse and the general waste of my time, potentially, when having random strangers picked for me?

Perhaps I'll make use of the upcoming feature to select to join a party within my own server in the Duty Finder. That way the community I am in can police it's own. Will that fix these issues being discussed here? Time will tell.

Until then. I'm Mag Cotti, on the server Ragnarok (EU). I generally play between the hours of 16:00 - 00:00 GMT+3, but because of real life responsibilities, I only dungeon run after 21:00 GMT+3. If any of you are on the same server and schedule, join me.

Terrible idea. Would create more problems than it solves.

Personally, I'm all for a kick feature. Sure it can be abused if implemented, but abuse comes from not having one also. One of my first parties I got into we had an ACN AFK and never came back. I play a healer so it would've been no problem for me to leave and start with another party within minutes but I felt bad for the other DD who probably would've been stuck waiting in another long queue. The tank agreed to continue with just us 3 and we managed to clear the dungeon but I hate the idea that the AFK player got credit for clearing it too. Also, it sucked having to wait out the entire timer whenever loot dropped because one player wasn't there to roll.

You're basicly agreeing that a kick feature is too harsh with that statement as well.

You think that warp 2 was a good thing. It really wasnt. If there was anything abused, it was Warp 2. People being warped at 1% on the boss so the leader could invite a friend for the win/drops. People trolling with it during parties and warping people to anoy the crap out of them. Lets not forget the times where someone from the leader's linkshell wanted to join and he'd basicly just free up a space that way, despite asking or even caring.

Especially with how anonymous the duty finder is, this would be terrible. It would basicly give people a get-out-of-jail-free card, since none of the players are on their server usually anyhow. Good dungeon with a chest that you know contains nice loot up ahead, kick everyone and get it :/ Seriously, no, we dont need this.

Tank not up to par? Talk to him. Ask him, politely, if he should considder getting his gear and weapon in order before entering the dungeon, since you're not going to win at this rate. I know it's a hard thing, but that will 9 out of 10 times get him to drop himself really.

Healer not paying attention? Ask him if he's multitasking and if he could focus on the dungeon or leave the party or we wont win.

Damage Dealer not paying attention? ##&##^%&#%^&@#^& Seriously, that's how you guys react to commentary about your performance. Leave group, start over.

I've never had a problem with a tank being an ***, i've never had a problem with a healer being an ***, but my god... Damage Dealers... Luckily they often enough drop right after causing a massive link and wipe to make room for the roulette, but yeah. Still wouldnt kick them though, you can easily make them leave or correct themselves.
