Recently I was running AC P2 and someone in our pug group didn’t pull the boss right. Another person viciously attacked them, basically bullying them and then some. The bully then focused on the rest of us unleashing other verbal abuses.
I figured the fastest thing to do is kick the bully. And surprise it comes up that I decided to kick them. The bully then turned their attention all on me and made it unbearable to stay. I left. Later I was messaged that another person from the group wanted to help, but didn’t want what happened to me to happen to them.
I think the kicking should be kept anonymous to the person being kicked for this reason. It’s crippling the more timid individuals and giving the jerks an advantage.

I think it is a good thing that you see who kicks who.

Now I didn’t understand how this bully was able to annoy you? I mean you blocked him right? That’s what you do to people who annoys you and also if they harras you in anyway you also sent a report on this guy/girl.

So I am sorry I do not get your situation… I would rather be able to report someone who abuses the kick mechanic.

Atleast my opinion.

You have to be responsible for the actions you do/propose. If you think someone should be kicked, do it but be responsible for it and defend it if needed, or be kicked for it, if the others disagree. Anonymous kicking is to abusive as it harms others without own risk.
Its therefore a good change to lift the anonymity and it may lead to overthink if it is really the correct response to a mistake.

I’m confused. You tried to kick a kittenhat. Good. Stand by your convictions.

It’s a good thing that the bum knows exactly which one had the cajones to give them the boot to the rear they deserved.

And shame on the cowards who didn’t back you up. If they wanted the group to stay together minus the bully, next time they should grow a pair and support that initiative.

I’d be more ticked at the one who messaged me that sentiment than the actual bully. You’re already anonymous as one player in a massive game. You’re the character.

In the grand scheme of things, some pompous fink knowing you had the nerve to call them on their BS really isn’t such a big deal.

No party leader system and good that they finaly put in so you see who kicks who no more safe harassing.

If he was being a bully say so let the kick stay if someone agrees fine if not you will probabely get kicked since the bully got them around his finger.

So it gives a notification the moment you make the kick request, rather than once it has gone through? Hmm.

I definitely think that there should be a notification of who is responsible for kicking someone, once that person has actually been kicked. Whether it should come up before then, though… it does seem more likely to cause toxicity if it does. If you want to get rid of an individual from your party, then you probably don’t want to give them a greater opportunity to cause drama. And if the kicking was improper, they still have the information they need to submit a report.

I think I agree with the OP. The ethics of the situation aside, I don’t see any good that can come from this. Even in a situation of wrongful kicking, what benefit to the community comes from increasing animosity between players? If the kicking was wrongful, then ANet should be able to look at the logs and make a decision, because they can do something about it. Players can only be hostile or bad mouth the kickers, which even if “justice” isn’t good for the game.

Yes, that’s what i think as well. There should definitely be a notification after a kick, but kicking process itself should be hidden, to avoid drama and speed-counterkicking.

It could also be a case of giving the offender enough rope to hang themselves, so to speak.

In other words, give the offending person even more of a chance to show why the kick (and block/report) is justified.

I like it this way better. If a jerkwad player is going to be verbally abusive, it isn’t going to matter if they know who wants them gone or not.
Like GamerOnline.3650 said above… Let them hang themselves on their own rage-fueled words and just keep reporting them. You’ll get the last laugh when they do it so much they get themselves banned for abusive behavior.

I am sorry that you and the other people in the party had to put up with that kind of thing. However no one should be “afraid” of another person harassing them: report them and then block them. Done. I even report / block if the person is harassing someone else and not me. After reporting/ blocking I would whisper the others in the party stating that I have reported and blocked the offender – they should do the same and we should kick him. Communication with the party would probably have helped.

Unfortunately there are people who abuse the “kick” system which is why I believe it should remain the way it now is.

I honestly don’t understand anything that is being said. I’ve never experienced this. In my experience people like that jump ship the moment things start going wrong. Perhaps I’m just joining less unpleasant pugs because I read the LFG text.

In any case, I support anonymity until the kick is completed. No matter what the conclusion was. If one person tries to kick someone and everyone else denies it, I want to see that. If someone tries to kick and the vote passes I want to see that too.

Are you guys really running into this situation often???

I’ve rarely needed to kick someone, and it’s generally over communication issues. Someone joins, doesn’t know the path, refuses to communicate or acknowledge what the party is asking for. Bullies I just tell to leave, and they usually will.

I like this change. It protects honest players. If I were at the final boss of a path and got kicked, I would want to be able to report and have the chat logs to back it up. The only people who should be crying over this are those that abuse the kick system. Whether the names are shown during or after the kick makes no difference to me, as long as the banished person gets to see who it was.

I can’t imagine that this would happen very frequently, but if the majority of the group is going to kick you because you are trying to kick someone who is being nasty then I wouldn’t want to group with them anyway. Report any offenders and block them all and move on.

This is why knowing the kickers is good: you can block them.

I think the whole grouping/kicking system has severe issues, at the very least for open world things. I can understand the idea behind it, but frankly, I prefer a system where the leader is the leader and can kick, and no one else can. Too many people not paying attention to chat, going AFK for loooong periods without telling anyone why and without leaving group, or suddenly running off to do other things in other zones. It’s been hard to kick people BEFORE you needed 3/5, I don’t even want to know what it’s like now.

A similar thing happened to me several times when I first started doing dungeons. The leader would loot the chest and then leave before anyone else could get to it following the fight. We’d be helping someone out of the downed state or simply running up to the chest from our ranged position during the fight and suddenly be thrown out of the instance before getting any rewards.

This is a good change imo.

The major reasons for bad behavior on the internet is anonymity and lack of consequences. Most of the people acting up in the internet wouldn’t dream of acting like that in rl where people know them or there are immediate consequences. If the anonymity is stripped away from kicking for bad reasons, the person kicked can now report if it was against TOS or speak to the party before the kick finishes. People who might second a kick for no reason will now hesitate to do so.

It gives social reasons to behave well, which is how people have handled society offenders through time immemorial.

everyone is so “non-confrontation” these days. People are to afraid that they might hurt someone’s feelings. There’s nothing wrong with a little backbone. If the “bully” was really that bad the others would have kicked him when prompted. That being said it sounds like you did the right thing leaving. Who wants to play with someone like that anyways. Oh and its just ac its not like it was the final fractal boss or anything. Report block move on.

Personally if I get kicked I want to know who did it and why. If it was a bunch of guildies just making room for a guildie I would be upset but I can block and not play with them again, problem solved.

If I sound tough, good. But again I want to congratulate you on standing up to a bully. Definitely stuck to your values and I respect that.
