LFG Kick Abuse - Needs a Solution Bliz

[Ayukama-frostmourne]

@Rrucio-malganis

Players are able to easily kick others from the party if enough people just click the “yes”

Because people have every right to vote-kick someone or anyone out of the dungeon for any to no reason at all.

Groups are empowered to manage their own members through the vote-kick system. If the majority of the group feels a player should be removed, they can initiate a vote-kick to remove them. The system is entirely under the control of our players. Players may choose to remove any other player from the group for any reason, provided the vote to kick passes.

Kicked from Group for No Reason

It is based on group majority. If the majority of the group agree’s with the kick, then the kick will pass.

@Vrakthris

The Vote to Kick system was designed to give players who used Looking for Dungeon/Raid some agency over who they are grouped with. If they have someone in that group that isn’t meshing, for whatever reason or no reason at all, they may choose to remove them.

@Orlyia

You don’t seem to be understanding that since someone can be kicked for ANYTHING, it’s a majority vote system, there literally is no way to ‘abuse’ the feature.

They don’t have to like your mog even, and they can initiate a vote-kick to remove you from the dungeon.

Is the system perfect? No! But what is the other solution to avoid getting kicked: Group up with friends or guild members and queue for the dungeons. But people have every right to initiate a vote kick. If the majority of the group agrees, then the kick will pass.

@Rrucio-malganis

people just click the “yes” button to clear the prompt on their screen.

I have yet to see any actual sources to this.

@Rrucio-malganis

This results in players abusing the system

There is no abusing of the system.

@Rrucio-malganis

I was just removed from a party. The individual who initiated the kick was spam pinging the direction to the last boss, clearly indicating that they wanted to just rush to the last boss.

So, you didn’t want to work as a group, and wanted to waste the other party members time. Sounds like a good reason for the kick.

@Rrucio-malganis

What is the argument against that?

Right here, from Vrakthris:

@Vrakthris

The Debuff associated with being kicked is an unfortunate result of people abusing that queuing system. There were a couple of scenarios but mostly it ended up with people trying to get kicked out so that they could leave a group without receiving a debuff, which they’d get if they simply left the group on their own.
