^This is a legit excuse. I would definitely wait until they saved the fish.
Really, every group I’ve been in has been stingy with the kicks. I don’t know why the forums are always complaining like kicks are happening every 15 seconds. I’ve been in groups that had players get DC’d, and we waited five minutes or longer to see if they’d come back. Maybe I’ve just been super lucky, but kicks really haven’t been an issue in the groups I’ve joined.
