Guild Wars 2

I think its completely ridiculous how you can be kicked with only 2 people after putting in time in a dungeon/fract.

I was just doing a lvl 19 and was kicked towards the end of the third fractal. Presumably people wanna get their guildies their daily. Complete bullkitten. And this isn’t the first time.

Its a complete waste of time when you put in that much work and some kittens decide to kick you. I know other players who’ve had the same problem too.

Now i understand that a kick mechanic needs to exist, as some players will troll people or act in a toxic manner. But when all it takes is two people (often one person, as I’ve seen people get kicked after a wipe despite not making mistakes. the second person just assumes “oh it must’ve been that dudes fault, ok i’ll vote yes”) its way too easy to screw others over.

IMO vote kicks need to require all 4 other players to vote yes. This is a pretty simple fix that will help prevent players from wasting their time. This is common in the MMO industry for a good reason. Its a simple fix. I can just avoid groups where i see the other 4 are guildmates. Besides if all 4 other players want to kick me, i must’ve been doing something wrong.

What happens when 2 griefers/trolls/whatever join a party/dungeon group? Requiring 4 votes may be excessive.

Please give us an option to vote NO and kick only happens when a majority votes YES.
For instance:

• 3 YES/1 NO = kick
• 2 YES/1 NO = kick
• 2 YES/ 2 NO = abort the kick request
• 1 YES/ 1 NO = abort the kick request
• In case it is the party of 2 = kiss and make up

Please, ANET, and thank you a great deal.

The only trolling I’ve seen done by 2 people who join together is when they kick others. I’ve never seen 2 people both purposely trying to derail a run/grief/troll.

I think its an extremely rare occurrence. Basing the system on the very rare possibility of multiple trolls in a group, and consequently allowing the much more common abuse of the system towards legitimate players is, I think, a mistake.

4 votes works fine in other games. Its been proven effective. if someone is detrimental to the group the other 4 people will be willing to kick them. If not every player is willing to kick them, theres a good chance that they don’t deserve the kick.

the only time people should be allowed to kick on 3 yes is when theres only 4 in group.

Another alternative I’d be ok with is only the group leader can start kick votes. I imagine it feels even more ridiculous to get kicked from a group you put together.
