Guild Wars 2

Will anet ever fix that, where if the person initiating the dungeon leaves, everyone gets kicked? It’s dumb. What if they get disconnected or rage quit or something? That screws everyone over! In WoW, if the leader leaves, leadership transfers to someone else so the others can continue playing. Why should 4 people be punished because 1 person leaves?

Start the dungeon yourself, simple fix.

to the 1st question: nah. i think its great the way it is. i agree that it sucks when your on the short end of the stick, but when your not.. I have been thankful for the way anet designed this on many a merry occassion, when ive opened the dung and a few mins in I find my group is a bunch of complete kittens, so I happily wish them the best of luck and leave.

to the 2nd question: I think that’s what makes PuGs so much fun. you never know what kind of awsome kittens your going to end up with. its like a bag of trail mix, really the thrill is in not knowing! In all seriousness, if the party leader disconnects I dont think it will kick everyone. Ive had this happen to me on afew occassions ive opened dungs, gotten horrendous lag and DCed, relogged to find my party is still safely inside.

to the 3rd question: because. punishments and rewards must be dished out in equal measure. its the anet mantra.

Are you kittening serious? There’s no reason for everyone to get kicked out because one player rage quit, is a troll, or just had to leave. That leaves nobody happy. If you don’t like the other players, they should be able to carry on without you without starting over.

Skarka’s law in action, here. There is no position that won’t have at least one person on the internet ready to defend it.

Not sure if troll or just didn’t think about it. Do you really want all the players fighting over who can open the dungeon? What about people who haven’t done story mode/the lower level fractals? There is no reason for it to exist like it does now. For kitten’s sake, think things through.

Skarka’s law.. ? Am I a terrible person just because I open the dung and choose to leave when i dont like the group attitude? I’ve ran through dungs till near the end boss and then been kicked for simple reasons, say if I tell my group I’ll brb for a sec. What do you say about obnoxious groups like these, that call kicks just because they feel like it?

This is why I usually make sure to open the dung. so that I’ll know if my group decides to kick me for whatever reason they’ll be thrown out as well (has happened to me on more than one occasion, and I’ve been thankful for it). Hopefully this will make people like these think twice about calling kicks needlessly. More often what happens if that people start yelling and cursing at each other or at me. Sometimes when this happens I don’t feel like continuing the run. I run dungeons for fun and to have a good time, if people can’t let me do that then, why the kitten should I stay?

Besides, its not like I open the dung and then leave when the end boss is at 2%.. just on a whim.

That makes me wonder. How does the vote-kick system work in WoW?

I think this problem stems from a bigger underlying issue: vote-kicking requires only 2 votes. This makes kicking people that much easier. People are scared of getting kicked, so whoever started the instance has the power. Although at the same time, I do acknowledge that party leaders should have the power to kick.

This is more of a suggestion than a dungeon thread.

We have been having far too many of these lately.
