Guild Wars 2

So, smooth run from CoE path 2.

I was the only one next to another person who did the dungeon before so throughout alpha fights I gave advice here and there. We had a second thief other than myself so I told him to bring shadowstep, which gives him a much easier time to get out of the crystal.

near the end of the last alpha encounter, I noticed he was greatly improving and actually surviving really well so I told him that he’s a fast learner and then was replied with “shut up”

moments later, boss dead and I’m kicked from the group right before the rewards.

Seriously ? two guys were from the same guild, only two.. The other two were just as random as anyone else.

After being kicked, all party chat is wiped so I can’t screen shot anything and IIRC joined a group in an overflow server, so they aren’t even on my server for me to do much else about it.

Why in gods name, in a party of 5, it only requires a “second” vote to get someone kicked ? Why can’t it be 3/4 votes ? Or everyone except the person being kicked ?

This has to change, never seen a game so pug unfriendly in my life.
The main argument to this is “get a good guild”, only way to accomplish this is to either pug and find a good player or friends. And lets be honest, not everyone has friends on 24/7 or a guild composed of only “friends”.

The person’s name in question is “Rocket Horse”, username being “GuildWarsTwo.5087”

If anything can be done it would be appreciated, but this is just stupid.

I don’t really see a problem with the current system, it has lots of valid uses and I see no point in making it more complicated when 4/5 could be abused as well. I (only) pug and never had a problem with it given some precautions (screen the group). Completed my dungeon master title as well. I agree that party chat being wiped is annoying and serve no purpose though.

Finally, don’t start a witch hunt on the forums. Firstly it is against the rules, second we only have your part of the story, and last we can’t help you in any way. Instead report them to the support, last I heard punishment for that kind of behaviour was a 5 day ban.

Seems a lot of these incidents happen because the kickers feel like they’re being patronized when the “victims” are actually trying to be helpful. I don’t know what’s going on lately, but I guess a lot of recent PuGs don’t appreciate acts of kindness anymore. People snap at the most random things these days..

It’s hard to report anything to support when you can’t give them any proof due to their system wiping it out from me.

I could give the whole conversation which would in turn prove my case but, alas, anet thought it would be funny to remove the conversation if ever you were to be kicked.

This thread isn’t a witch hunt, more or less, bringing an issue to light that truly needs looking into.

Iv’e never had these problems in GW1, I don’t see any reason to “make it” a problem in GW2. Don’t fix what isn’t broken.

And the mentioning of the name, can arguably be “a witch hunt” in your mind, but think of it as, “This person is the one who kicks people out of dungeon groups, he should be avoided by the general public.”

Report the issue with the exact time (and timezone) even if you do not have the chat, Anet does.

GW1 didn’t have this problem because you could not change party at all once in an instance. One persone griefing or leaving midway? you’re out of luck. Saying party system is bad because of some people’s abuses is like saying chat should not exist because some people insult you through it.
