So as the topic states, there is an on-going issue with LFG tool.

Why is this thread in the Dungeon sub-form?
Since this abuse is happening when listing your Dungeons/fotm runs.

Currently there are some individuals that will join the party using the LFG tool and do one of the following 2 things:

1. Using a method to instantly kick the entire party out of the dungeon/fotm and closing the instance, this causes the original group to lose all its progress.
The above method even allows them to kick an entire party of 5, which is utterly ridiculous.
I will not be listing the method of how the above is being performed.

2. The new player invites a fellow guildy/friend and then right clicks and kicks the party leader.

In both the scenarios above, a new player joining via LFG tool has way too much power and needs to be restricted.

Here are a few suggestions on how this can be fixed:

-Allow Party leader to be the only person in Scenario one to use the above function.
-New players joining the party should have a 1 min de-buff that does not allow them to invite any new players.
-Or Allow the Party leader to choose between the players that wish to join the party.
-Do not allow players who are on the block list of the party leader to even join the party in the first place.


Please note that these individuals have been reported now over 50 times in the past 30 days and no action has been taken.

Any other players facing similar issues please post here.
Please refrain from posting names, the intent of this thread is to only make this issue well known and hopefully we can have a fix in the near future.

Then your job is already done because they certainly know about these issues and have known about them since the LFG tool was released.

So you’re saying there are people who break instances just for fun? That’s silly talk. If that was the case I am pretty sure devs would be looking into it. Or at least they would say they would.

For all the non dungeon forum regulars. Insert sarcasm then read this.

just stop exploiting dungeon for sell run will help to reduce the kick (the only ppl i always hear crying for be kicked from dungeon by new player from LFG are always Arah P2 and P4 seller before all the fix and AC P1 and all the GW2 comunity know most of that seller is bug abuser so stop crying)

@ SoliSnake

You don’t hear me QQ about it, because i AVOID the lfg when doing Arah. So stop protecting ppl who are doing this crap. He takes legit half-way runs to destroy both glitchers and legit runs alike.

As stated above, the main topic is about new players having too much power.
LFG tool allowing anyone and i mean literally anyone to join your group.

The issue should be looked at like a security breach, if you make a party, a random person should not be able to come in and disband it.
There is a serious flaw in the LFG tool and that is the issue here, it has nothing to do with Sellers, Arah, or whatever.

Probably a rare occasion for normal players. If someone joins and kick me, I just reform the party. And if he do it too much, he’s automatic blocked by the Anet system.

Sellers is really the only one affected. Or people in the middle of the dungeon and someone quit.

That’s a lot of people.

But you don’t need to mention you are in the middle of the dungeon.

Quite honestly never met those kicking people.

Maybe I’m just lucky. But it’s definitely possible for meeting them.

See whats important to note is that the ability for some stranger to come disrupt your run should not be allowed in the first place.

Yes this usually happens during dungeons, hence why I decided to open the thread here.

Agreed with ZilentNight in every regard. Doesn’t even make any sense the way it is. Why are instances tied to a single person anyways? There’s so many design flaws with things on this game but the LFG tool and party “security breaches,” as you referred to them, are so flambuoyantly awful that it’s embarrassing haha.

In regards to parties in general… why the f_ does it only take two people agreeing to kick someone from the party when it requires a majority vote to return to Dessa’s Lab in the middle of FotM?

Nice logic. Really, nice logic.

Careful Richo, naming and shaming on the forums is a big nono

But yeah this is mostly old news. Change vote kick feature to majority, fix the merge party bug, revamp the instance owner setup.
The instance survives even if everyone leaves the dungeon, so it seems the only reason for it to be tied to one person is so they can look fabulous in cutscenes :]
