That’s why I start all instances I can.

If I’m kicked, the dungeon ends. I have immunity

lol that’s why I never join a PuG where a ranger is doing the LFM, serious.

What’s your beef with rangers? T_T

Well, it’s less about rangers and more about pets. And really when it comes down to it, thief is more ranger like than rangers. In other games, ranger is often my preferred class (rangers/assassins), but here, just no. If ANET would just let rangers drop the pets of mayhem (like in GW1), then rangers (the class, not personal) wouldn’t be so hated on I would think.

had one, deleted it.

edit: and come to think of it, one bow skill is horrible, almost used as a grief. Point Blank Shot. Somehow other classes can realize that using knockbacks at events isn’t a great idea, but rangers never fail to do huge knockbacks multiplied by every ranger there (literally like ping pong balls) so that melees never get a hit in. See a melee starting a long immobile attack animation? Yes, obviously time to send that mob off 50ft. I personally view it as a grief skill.
come on, teach me how to launch a 500lbs object 100ft back with my irl bow lol

Votekick is creating way more issues that it is resolving.
Cap it to player # minus one or really just remove it Anet.

Actually you did. You were a snide tool and should have helped them instead of expecting everyone to know how to skip mobs like that’s what you’re supposed to do.

This is why I hate dungeons. People like you. Not everybody knows how to skirt around content for the sake of speed and in all honesty I wish ANet would bottleneck dungeons so you HAD to fight some of the trash. Then maybe people would learn proper kitten teamwork.

well said.

OP is an elitist

HAHAHAHAHA

So I started an Arah party for path 2 and we were at the abomination boss, haven’t started the fight yet.

This one mesmer couldn’t make the run from the wp past all the mobs. She kept going straight for the cliff from the tunnel, instead of hugging the north wall which is safer. She failed like…3 times, after which everyone agreed to start the fight with 4.

In the middle of combat, she said
“Did you really just get into combat?” because apparently she had died again and couldn’t wp.
So I replied “Did you really just ask that question?”
“Yes.”
“Then yes. we did”
“I could just leave, if that makes you happier”

that’s how the conversation went and apparently the ignorant person got really kitten off at me. Long story short, she proceeded to kick me at lupicus and apparently had a friend who agreed.

Bottom line is, I didn’t do anything wrong other than make that one comment. And that’s really all it takes for someone to get kicked. Hell, it doesn’t even matter what you do if someone has a friend who wants to troll, he can kick anyone for no reason at all.

Why is only 2 out of 4 votes required to kick someone out? ANet, do you realize how much time I’ve wasted getting kicked for stupid reasons? And I can’t even do anything about it. The kicker just blocks me, and I can’t report for abuse.

You were being a kitten plain and simple.

You joined the dungeon as a team, then because you were in a rush and didn’t bother showing her the right way to do it decided to cut her out of the experience and loot and discard her from game play by entering combat…..

You got some karma there because they decided you were being a tool and dropped you from group discarding you from loot and the experience.

Want respect? Want people to not vote kick you? Try treating them how you would want to be treated. I am sure if you couldn’t make the short cut and your team ditched you and left you dead while they do the dungeon you would be irritated as well.

Get over it, and stop being a tool.

you’re about..a day late. Like I said, I am over it and have learned my lesson. Reading these forums just gives me a heartache sometimes…

anyways, the issue still stands: the vote kicking system is bad and easily abused. Someone disagrees? Kick! Someone decides to run ahead of everyone else? Kick! Someone makes a snide comment? Kick! Someone never talks? Kick!

Our gameplay performance doesn’t matter anymore. It doesn’t matter how good you played or how you stayed alive and soloed the boss. Why not? Because "that guy is different/weird/doesn’t conform with the group. Because that guy kitten es me off and I’m already frustrated/angry. And “Hey look, a green check mark besides someone’s name, I’m gonna click it just for fun”. And boom, just like that, you’re gone. No warning, no 2nd chances, no nothing. Just a loading screen.

KazNaka.4718:

alright well, guess I’ll stay silent in pugs from now on. Thanks for your feedback, peeps.

Silence will get you booted too. It’s happened to me before.

This is why you run with guild majority parties or start the instance yourself. If they wanna be a D and kick you jokes on them. Also if it’s just a straight up PUG group you should learn these easy rules:

1) Don’t suck. 2) Keep your mouth shut.

Follow those rules in any PUG and you won’t have a problem. Otherwise avoid them all together.

Please just help out those people who obviously need help in navigating dungeons.

I’ve seen people just ask “so are you coming along” when obviously the players are having a hard time getting into an advanced position.

Please keep that voteout feature alive if you want more control make it a requirement for people to be together in certain areas before proceeding.

If you don’t have anything nice or helpful to say, don’t say anything at all.

Though, I sometimes find it hard to resist making rude comments at absolute idiots. I’m lucky that I never got kicked for the few times that I did.

Well I wouldn’t have kicked you… you didn’t say you were playing a ranger, right? j/k.
I’ve gotten into stupid talk with other players, I don’t care. Like one guy wanted to just flame me early this month, for 30 min after a dungeon, because I wasn’t putting out a lot of dps in a CoF pug that wasn’t doing a speed run to start (he was a rng btw). Like uh-duh, guardian pfff.

Even wanted to see equipment lol (multiple exotic sets). Actually I do ok dps with my guard, just was running in melee-cleric mode when the melees were having a hard time staying up on boss. I don’t think we would have finished the dungeon if I didn’t, and no one was agreeing with him. But I know sometimes people miss the big picture and snap if having maybe a bad day or whatever. I wound up in another party with him, I was in dps mode, he had nothing to complain about, and yet again a completed dungeon.

Anyway I don’t think it’s a big deal either way, maybe just handled wrong. GW2 hasn’t been king of the bad PuG’s for me, like early CoH was the worst I’ve seen. But yeah, I’m no fan of the voting system as I mentioned, I’d rather see a true leader with all the power. At least then I can remember good leaders and overlook the bad ones.

Awesome thought: instead of kittening dungeons up and make trash un-skippable ANer should simply ban players who join dungeons and fail.
Seriosly: What did the thread opener wrong? He has even been kindly giving the mesmer four tries to get past.

It probably would have been faster if the 4 of you would have cleared the trash and helped, tbh rather than just standing there. This is why I’m glad my guild never skips stuff. It honestly does not take long to clear the trash and you get gold and items for doing it.
