why is it that when i try to vote kick someone while in a dungeon finder group, it tells me i can't kick x player for x number of minutes. but 2 seconds later another person was able to initiate a vote kick against that same person?

can the leader try to kick anyone no matter what?

it's happened many times...i always get the can't vote kick message, but someone else is able to start the vote.

You're using it too often, try being more understanding and work with people instead of rage kicking them.

no its for trollers. like when someone joins but is unsatisfied with the group, so they just teleport out but refuse to disband (to avoid deserter buff i assume).

or for the "heroic pvpers" who join a group just to make the group wipe on purpose, etc.


i am always unable to start a kick vote but someone else is able to...wondering why

Every player has their own DF rating which influences their ability to kick. The fewer times you kick players and the more often you complete dungeons the higher your rating and the fewer restrictions you have on initiating kicks.

I think there are two timers that can cause this. As Arc mentioned if you have recently kicked another player, it won't let you kick a second player with in a certain amount of time.

Also I believe there is a timer so that if said player has recently been kicked from a different dungeon, queues up and joins yours, he/she can't be kicked again right away...

I have NEVER run into either of the players you just described...

Not saying they don't exist, because I'm absolutely positive they do lol. Just saying it's news to me that people are doing that stuff.

This would certainly seem to be counter-productive.

however i OFTEN leave a group when i don't have enough time left to play. that must be why my vote kick timer is so high

i've run into both types, fairly frequently too. part of the reason i quit using the DF, i'll only do guild runs. its not worth the headache to pug especially when you have people whose new idea of fun is to try to wipe groups.

He doesn't run into that kind because it's his own kind. He doesn't even notice.

That was uncalled for. Why drag this thread down with cheap shots like that? This thread isn't about Arc, it's about the vote kick system.

Apparently it's all you got too, Arc, since you want to egg it on. Back to the vote kick system discussion, please. I was a bit curious as to how it worked. Thanks for that link, it made things a lot clearer. Would be nice to not have to wait x amount of seconds after combat to kick someone though. Too bad they don't make it where you can't leave while in combat either. I've seen several tanks pull large groups then drop group to get everyone else wiped.

Don't expect me to reflect any respect to someone who shows none.
What's amusing is that he's whining when he gets his own medicine served.

Again with the respect thing. You and Arden should start your own online university so you can teach everyone your version of etiquette.

Since that's the only version that applies.

I don't think it's humanly possible, but I'd just love to see a thread takes it's natural course. This is..unless it is the natural course; in that case I feel like I'm listening to my 6 and 4 year old bicker.

Not possible. Korrigan has suffered a mental break again (he does so every few years) and he will stalk Arc in every thread he posts in order to insult him. I guess Korrigan is so deeply hurt that lashing out is all he has left.

It used to be funny, but now I'm seeing the sad side of it, literally in every single thread.

/pity

Funny how Arc sits here on this message board for a game he does nothing but post negative things about, and has apparently once again quit.
