Jelio on 06/01/2012, 01:28 PMThere should be a penalty for kicking a member out of an instance to prevent excessive kicking.
If I go into an instance and say "hey guys its my first time" I get kicked.
If I just keep my mouth shut I still get kicked.
If they ask me if I can solo a kuma under 3 min I say "I dunno but I can try", i get kicked.
How am I suppose to learn? Hell, how am I suppose to even play if I keep getting kicked out of instances. I have to wait 1 hr everytime. My ilev is 141. I know it' low but damn, if I can get into an instance I should have a chance at it.
What should be the penalty? I would say 15 min cool down before they can recruit another member. Seems fair right? If a person leave a party on your own accord, they get 15 min penalty for leaving their "comrades". It should also work other way around.
it sounds like you are talking about ToT... and if you cant kill kumas in 3min... then you shouldnt be there.

Elethor on 06/01/2012, 02:45 PMScythes on 06/01/2012, 02:40 PMNo, shouldn't be a penalty.
If you want to learn you need to be tactful about it and at least have semi-decent gear. The gear "proves" that you have some level of proficiency. If you just waltz into a new or upper tier instance with nothing showing your abilities and claim you've never done something before you will get kicked, and with good reason. There's no reason they should believe that you're any good and have to waste their time with you. If it's FoK? It's entry level. No reason to kick from that.
ToT requires individual skill more than any other instance. Is it hard? Na. But still it puts more emphasis on the individual. If you can't prove immediately that you have skill, you're potentially wasting an hour of their time and patience.
If they want an in-it-to-win-it group then they should be trying to form a group from friends or guildies. If someone is wanting the best of the best then stay the hell out of the LFD tool. It is just asinine to enter into a random grouping system and then get picky with who you want to play with, you don't use the LFD to find the cream of the crop, that should be done on one's home server.
You should read the rest of my post that I edited.
No one's asking for "cream of the crop." Just either experience or proof of ability.

But neither of those can be provided when a player is kicked for not have run the instance before, or before he even has a chance to show what he can do. This is happening more and more, players kicking if item level is below X, if the player is a zerker or archer, if the player has never been there before.
More and more people in the LFD are using it to find the perfect player for their group and that isn't what it is for. And while guides and videos can be extremely helpful (look up SheepheadCG on youtube for great ones) there is no substitute for the experience of actually running the instance.
what has to do??? let me see
"The gear "proves" that you have some level of proficiency. If you just waltz into a new or upper tier instance with nothing showing your abilities and claim you've never done something before you will get kicked"
once again I did BT with Ilvl 139 so actually gear means [filtered] if it is the reason to get kick out of a group

I explained in my post how not to get kicked. Everyone SOMEHOW did their instance a first time. How do you think they did it? There's a way, people just have to stop being blind and asking for other people to be punished for other people not wanting to waste their time.

I did put "proves" in quotes, didn't I? Also, you don't seem to be reading my posts at all. And if you are, you're not understanding them.

"Experience or proof of ability" Like I said those can't be shown when people get kicked within minutes of their first run now can they?
I main as an archer and will eventually be running Fok and BoT. It is well known that people boot archers almost immediately when they join due to the stigma of being a bad class. Now I ask you, if I am booted within 2 mins of joining the group how am I to show my "experience or ability"? Oh right, I can't....
