It’s been a long time since I ran fractals and yesterday, since I need a back item for my engineer and since the monthly has fractals, I decided to go back to fractals.
Being my personal level 26 I didn’t care much about going further since I don’t like fractal weapons and I’m just interested in relics and pristine relics, so I decided to join a lvl 20 daily.
There were 3 guys from a french guild, a mesmer and me. The guild wanted to stack, so we stacked and the mesmer was pulling. At the third fractal, the underwater one, the mesmer got kicked without ANY warning and for reasons I couldn’t understand, I assume he took too long to pull a group of kraits just at the beginning of the dungeon. Then a engineer joined, and one of the guildies said in party chat “be careful, easy kick for you too”.
Today I pick a lfg for level 20 daily. No guilds this time. We run flawlessly until the third fractal, we get the one with the hammer and Mr. Manhattan. At the last two seals, 3 guys stack in a corner and don’t do anything to progress. So the fourth guy takes the hammer and starts killing in a room. I decide to follow him and help him. We hit the seals 3 times, killing mobs from only one room. Then he gets downed and dies while I try to rally him. We got both kicked in a blink of an eye and without any warning.
I find unacceptable how easily you could get kicked, and in fractals getting kicked is even worse since you could be losing a lot of time. I also find unacceptable threatening other people with the kick hammer.
And I couldn’t even report them: when you get kick, you can’t read party chat anymore to find their names and besides there isn’t an option for “abusive kicking”.
Is that common nowdays to get a kick in fractals for no reason at all?
