A better system would be to display the number of kicks initiated and confirmed within a period. That way, if you get with a group and it says that they kick 10 people a month, you know you shouldn’t even start.
Now that’s a good idea! A nice addition to stats visible to others, “number of players kicked from group”.
That would work in theory, however I often group with guildies that have a bad habit of logging out before leaving the group and then we have to kick them to make room for new members or reform the group.
Not hard at all, kicked while in a dungeon or in open area. If you have guildies who log out in the middle of a dungeon, then kick them from your guild by all means and don’t group up with them any more.
I don’t think that’s what they were saying, instead i got the impression that their guildies, after a run, log off before leaving the party which means they’re still in the party and if you’re going for a second run you need to kick them and invite someone else. Loads of people do this and it’s not a problem as they’re not leaving half way through an encounter
If that is what they meant, then it was a pretty meaningless comment. Removing someone from a group in the open world is hardly the same as kicking someone during a FoTM run or a dungeon.
LOL Report them. As if anet would even do anything about it. Also, as soon as I was kicked I confronted them about it and they played coy with me saying that oh they had no clue who did it someone made room for their guildie, when they were ALL in the same guild, then blocked me. kitten like this happens every day and people are allowed to do it.
Seriously, report it if they pull that. Anet will look into it – and put marks against the account. Anything they type into the game is recorded.

I originally thought the OP was kicked in open world…by third fractal I thought he meant 3rd run. I was going to comment that we have asked a Pick Up to leave to make room, but NEVER in the middle of a fractal or dungeon run. Always between runs. If it happened inside the fractal then that sucks!
We need something called downvote, basically, denying a kick, and you need atleast 2 votes to kick someone, if someone downvotes a kick you’ll need 3, is 2 people downvote the kick is automatically cancelled and the kicker is not allowed to kick for a week, what do you guys think?

I like the ideas of being able to see how many people they’ve kicked recently, and the “down vote” idea.
What I’d really like to see is a thirty second (or so) “Terminate Instance?” button pop up whenever you’re kicked in an instance. That way, anyone that’s not AFK basically has the chance to do what happens when the instance opener is kicked. If they want to kick you, they have to be willing to pay the price of you returning the favor. And yes, for some people it will be worth it to pay that price just to be rid of them. That’s the kind of people kicking is supposed to be for.

delicate, brick-like subtlety.
I first heard about this about 2 months after Fractals was released, right after they started allowing players to return to fractals after a disconnect. This kind of behavior is unacceptable.
Theres always risk with pugging, more risk with 3+ guildies in same group and they have mission control.
The only way currently to secure your spot in the mission is to start it.
The only thing GW2 could do to prevent this is lock people in the mission, that way if someone gets kicked they cant be replaced by somebody’s friend or guildy at the last moment because they’ll be unable to enter the mission/quest instance. The only person that can remove you from the mission should only be yourself or a system that gives you 2 minutes to recover from disconnecting.
This is a mission/quest abuse not an abuse with partying.

you should always, always take a couple screenshots of the run and their names if you’re not the one hosting.
