Guild Wars 2

It has recently come to my attention that the 2 person vote system used in dungeons is not good, not good at all.

I was just happily playing fractals level 10 with my one of my guild buddies and 3 other people i didn’t know. 2 of those people(clearly friends) were unpleasant to say the least. They kept boasting all the time about how easy it was compared to the super high levels they’ve done, and just had an all round bad attitude to everything.

I’m not petty enough to bring that up however, I just played the through dungeon normally.

But in the third mission with the stone giant in shackles, against the Legendary Archdiviner they were saying to “jump up and down on the boss”

Now i’m not an expert at fractals, but i’m pretty sure jumping on that boss doesn’t do anything, it’s not the kind of mechanic Anet would ever put in a boss fight.
I assume it was possibly a way to stop knock back after he gets his hammer back, but that’s not a problem when I have 2 stun breaks and stability.

When the unpleasant person was freaking out like a little kid saying “JUMP ON THE BOSS MORON!” I replied saying “I’d rather not.” To which him and his friend instantly kicked me, completely uncalled for and unfair.

So I just wasted an hour of my life completing 3 missions in fractals, only to be kicked by some raging children because I didn’t idiotically jump at a boss which they had superstitions about…

The problem is, 2 person kicking is not ideal, it’s not a majority vote. But I have very little in terms of suggestions, the best I can come up with is boosting it to 3 people. I would appreciate some thoughts on what you guys think.

It was talked about and it was ignored, so no point of commenting,

Well then i think it needs to be brought up again, it’s just not ideal. The more it’s discussed the less it can be ignored. =]

what’s great is when you have 3 people, they have 2, they boot one of you, then your 2 friends boot both of them then reinvite you and find 2 better pugs.

Happened the same except we were not kicked because I was team leader and it would wipe the whole party.
People demanded that we bug that boss, I said no and they started hating, I told them I’m party leader go ahead and kick me so we’re all back to LA, they shut up.
I could have kicked them all right before final chest but I’m not a bad person.
But if I wasn’t team leader they would have kicked me.

Kind of sad that cheating goes unpunished while kicking a non-cheater is ok.

Is it a bug to jump up and down on that boss, what happens?
I’m with you when it comes to not abusing exploits, when you have a perfectly capable party with good equipment, whats the point in doing them.

I believe the bug is to have many people stand on him. jumping does nothing that standing wouldn’t. if enough people are standing close enough on top of him, he’ll get stunned a second time, giving you another hit at the chains. then a third time, then a fourth time. basically only have to get him to 75% health before completing that boss fight.
one of the most boring boss glitches in the game.
