Guild Wars 2

PUGed with 3 people from a guild and one random person, in the 3rd fractal the guild started acting up and it turned into a bicker fest. Long story short one of them was able to boot me without a group vote, just an instant kick me back to LA. Is this an exploit? I saw them advertising on gw2lfg a minute later “on third fractal before bonus boss” so I know that they didn’t all leave.

The person being kicked doesn’t see the vote.
And it only needs two to kick

That sucks.

The person being callvote kicked doesn’t receive any notification. Only the others that aren’t pending a a kick can see it / vote .

Also, only 1 other person needs to agree with the person doing the kicking.

Weird, I know. The callvote kick system needs some modifications.

There really needs to be a way to report this, it still happens to often.

report what? getting into a “bicker fest”(fight) and being an kitten enough to get booted?

Take a note, don’t argue with a guild group. When I do things with my friends I blatantly include something along the lines of “act like an kitten and get instakicked” in my gw2lfg posts to give a fair warning that if you come into our group and start being a nuisance you’re out. Is it always fair? No. But we don’t like having some random guy telling us how to do what we already know how to do or criticizing the fact that we aren’t all super powerful godlike Zerker warriors.

I am going to agree with Munkee, 100%. I always post that if they act up they get kicked, and I even give them another warning asking if they read the post. Yet they still complain when they get booted for being a kitten.

To the OP, if you’re running any high level instances ( Fractals, Arah, HotW, CoE ) I suggest you look at the guild tags, if it’s the same, take precaution and leave. If everyone seems to be “random” then stay, but show respect. If you don’t like how they run/ran things, block them from preventing to ever run a instance with them. You call them out they have every right to kick you. If they kicked you for no reason, send a report ( given the amount of people being griefed I highly doubt anet cares ) but it’s better than just letting it happen.

There are always 2 sides of the story. This “bicker” could of been something extreme, we can only go by what you say.

Casuals usually get mad and rage kick you if you tell them how to play, and people that are more experienced tend to ignore your comments and ninja kick you if they get irritated. It’s all about the type of people you are dealing with and whether or not you should really try and get into conflict if you know that people are grouped together.
