Ok, so seeing as how I am IRL friend with someone who (unbeknownst to him) rolled the one class in the game that gets kicked from groups for literally just zoning in more than any other...a berserker...I experience a lot of bull[filtered] from Lancers. I mean, a lot.
I don't want any of the goodie two-shoe lancers to come in here and say "Oooh we aren't all like that", because I'm not an idiot. I'm aware that not all of you are (edited) who don't want to roll against one single person and god forbid have a chance at losing your piece of loot to another player.
The fact of the matter is this is a consistent experience. I get in more groups with Lancers that do this, over Lancers that don't. It's literally a surprise when the vote kick option doesn't pop up when we get in to queue.
We've been in groups that have finished both Fane and Baldurs, several times. This isn't new content where we are some kind of liability (I play a Warrior).
So here's my frustration point...luckily, since we double queue, I am able to thwart a lot of this kicking nonsense from Lancers right off the bat. Sometimes they *reluctantly* decide to just go with it, a big sigh and maybe some smart [filtered] words later and we might actually get to clear the dungeon regardless of the kick stuff off the bat. The annoying part is there are several work-arounds to kicking people without a majority vote.
We get in to a Fane. I refuse to let them kick him. The tank seems to think Fane requires a 148 ilevel. So what do they do? Pull the boss on everyone and wipe the group. Guess what? When you're running back to the instance, no vote is required. Kick goes through without a snag. Oh, and to boot? We get locked out of Fane for an hour. Are you nyerking serious?
We get in to a Baldurs, kick pops, I decline it (as usual, nothing new here). The tank resets the instance, we all get ported out, they zone back in and kick us because we're out of the instance, we are now locked out of Baldurs for 45 minutes and get kicked without a vote.
This is asinine, kicks needs to be waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more restrictive. I don't care if it will end up creating circumstances where you have to deal with an occasional tweedle-dee or a tweedle-dum in your group. So what. This free-kick bull[filtered] is absolutely exponentially more annoying than that, and it's compounded on the fact that our queue is long enough before we even get in the damn instance.
This is literally killing the game for my friend, I'm urging him to re roll but tough luck on that one...he's not really the alt or leveling type. I find this to be an extremely high priority issue, and the difficult part is that it's a community issue...but there are ways.
The kick system needs to be given several restrictions or specific algorithms that will help to prevent this nonsense from happening as much as it does.
