That sucks. I wish other players would be more patient and not abuse (or perhaps a better word would be overuse) the vote kick option.
Yeah… it’s an unfortunate side effect of the implementation of the debuff. You aren’t the reason the debuff was implemented; you are the collateral damage. I think the collateral damage occurs now far more frequently that the behavior that generated the implementation of the debuff.
I hope you do make some constructive suggestions for change and add to the discussion or simple drop a constructive suggestion into the in-game suggestion feature. As an example, I’ve previously suggested that the debuff timer start after the first boss is engaged. That way the further you go into the dungeon, the lower the debuf if you get kicked. It wouldn’t help in your specific case, but it does improve the situation for folks who have put in a bit of time into the group. Anyway, that’s the sort of thing the developers would want to see… an idea to improve the system rather than mere calls to remove it or change it.
