Guild Wars 2

I know it has been discussed to death, but this needs to be changed as in the current state the only reason to kick an instance owner is to cause grief yet it can still be done. Kicking the party leader provides no benefit to anyone, all it does is destroy the instance, even if the owner is so bad that they deserve to be kicked, leaving the party will give you the same result without screwing the rest of the group. This should have been a large priority in the feature patch, very sad it was not. /end rant

No solution for this so far.
If two people want to screw the whole group -themselves included- they can just kick the owner. Fortunately, this doesn’t happen too often, unless it is accidentally.

Make sure to remind them who the owner is when in doubt..

It deosnt happen too often but still, its really annoying.
To lose all your progress especially if you’ve been in that instance for a hour or more (arah/fractal)
Yeah that should have been implemented a long time ago.

Even though it doesn’t happen much, I’d like to point out that “griefing” is assumed to be a fun activity to do now and most those people wait for that golden opportunity to mess up your progress on things like Arah/Fotm/etc.

Whenever they see a “Selling Arah p4” or “49 Fotm, 3rd Fract” they’d be sure to attend, if they don’t want to fix the “Dungeon Owner Kick” they can at least keep track of people who just team up to grief and ban them from even entering parties for a while, I’m pretty sure other people Reported griefers, but still they continue what they do.

This game is there for us to have fun with it, and not get depressed about how our time and effort went to waste.

There is a legit reason to have this “feature:” it’s the only protection against people kicking you at the very end of a run in order to invite guildies for the reward.

Two wrongs make a right in this case, I guess? (Not really)

It’s because the reason to ensure you have the rights to enter the instance (story mode done, fractal lvl).
If you remove this requirement, you can simply pass the instance to someone else, even if he don’t have the rights for that.

Every story related stuff needs to go so GW2 can become better. =]

Hmm Story stuff is nice, but I guess it would be way better to just have to do it one 1 character and have it unlocked on all, there’s no point in having your warrior/thief/mesmer/etc. do the same story 4 diff times~ esp Arah its long and gets boring ;0

Note: Most people at least have 1 or 2 buddies to rely on to do Arah/Fotm that they can trust, and usually those people have the dungeon done on at least 1 char~
