I was trying to trying to transfer to SoR, and mis-clicked and hit the ‘Transfer’ button on accident. This wouldn’t be an issue normally, but there was no transfer confirmation message. It brought up a message saying to wait due to a lot of server activity, and automatically transferred me to the default world selected which was Henge of Denravi. I submitted a ticket, but was wanting to make this post to warn people to be cautious when transferring.
Earrings are accessible by guild events or laurels+ ectos. Also, as stated previously, this was never supposed to be fractals only gear. They stated many times that ascended gear would be accessible in MANY different ways as content is released.
It’s pretty reasonable. I’ve PUG’d the first 40 levels no problem. Most players can do up to 10 fairly easily.
Regardless, all content shouldn’t be able to be completed by all players. If it were, the game would be rather uninteresting. Challenges give you something to work toward, and to show off when you’ve mastered them.

Yeah, I’ve been kicked at Level 40 during Jade Maw. Two people can troll the whole party.
There’s still yet to be any response from ArenaNet on this.
Having a vote to disable kicking or just automatically disabling party kicks in FOTM would be far superior to this. I’ve never even needed to kick anyone in fractals anyways. No matter how bad someone is, it’s still better to at least have them in the party.
I’m only at lvl 21, but I’ve once had a guy going inactive (he had to go to work) without logging off his character. So, the only way for us to continue to the next fractal was to kick him out of the party (or perhaps wait until he was considered inactive and out-logged out?).
On the other hand, I’ve recently had 2 idiots that decided to kick a guy that was afk for 2 minutes during Maw… as an added bonus: the guy was party leader, so we all got thrown out… -_- (a nice waste of 2 hours of my life, as it had been far from a smooth run to get there…)
Long story short, there are times you need to kick a guy and there are times you wish the ability wasn’t there…
True, inactive players would need to be kicked.
This issue has been posted about since launch, and I’m really appalled that ANet hasn’t officially addressed it in any way.
From where I stand, there are two very simple solutions to this.
Option 1 is to simply require a majority vote for any kick. For a group of 5, require 3 (vote initiator and 2 seconds). For a group of 4, still require 3. For a group of 3, require 2 (current system). For a group of 2, there’s no difference between “kicking” and “leaving,” but either action should result in both members being kicked out of a dungeon instance if applicable. This is probably the simplest solution in terms of amount of work hours – it should take virtually no time to implement.
Option 2 is a conventional “group leader” system as is common in most MMOs. If implemented, the first person in a group (i.e., the player who sends the invite to the second person in the group) is designated as the group leader. This can be passed to other players. Only group leaders can initiate a kick vote, but kick votes then require a second as per the current kick system. Most importantly, regardless of who enters a dungeon first, the group leader is designated as the “instance owner.” This system would require a pretty significant reworking of the group system on a basic level, but prevents most abuse.
Frankly, though, it seems like the root of the problem is not so much that it only takes 2 players to carry out kicking, but how instance ownership is handled in the first place. I can tell right away whether shenanigans are at hand when running a dungeon with 3/5 group members being guildmates if one of the 2 pickup members makes a rush for the door and grabs instance ownership. Unfortunately, other than the “group leader” system outlined above, I don’t see any simple way of revising instance ownership to prevent abuse.
Yes, I can’t quite believe they’re allowing grieving of this caliber. Just finding groups can be exhaustive at this point. I also can’t believe they don’t even allow reporting of this.
Make a screenshot of the group before you start doing the dungeon. Anets support team will get the necessary information, when you give the raw details.
That only addresses the effect though. The whole issue could at least be resolved by removing the function in FOTM, or at least requiring a majority vote. You’re still out of two hours of time, and you shouldn’t have to screenshot it in the first place. There needs to be more report options.
I will however start SS’ing groups before hand though until this is appropriately addressed.

There’s nothing to screenshot. The party is disbanded so it’s difficult to tell who the second person kicking is, and you can only find out the first if you are paying good attention and aren’t the first to be kicked. This really needs to be addressed some way.

best option is screen shot and email to the exploits email for ANet Either that or support ticket with same info.
Uh, what would I screenshot? You can’t know it’s coming. The kick takes place in a fraction of a second. The party is disbanded due to the kicking, so you can’t know for sure who the second person even was. You only see the kicker if you are paying attention and aren’t the first to be kicked.
This is really ridiculous and needs to be addressed.
I was just in a Level 40 FOTM group, and at Jade Maw two players decided to kick everyone else. I seen the player that started the vote, but there’s no good report option for this kind of behavior. I had to report him for “scamming”, which obviously doesn’t fit this kind of action.
Only requiring two people to kick a whole team makes it almost impossible to do high lvl fractals unless you have friends or FOTM specific guilds. It’s not even currently possible to report this for what it is.
Edit: Also, all party chat appears to be removed after being kicked, making it difficult to get all the accounts of people we played with. A recently played with option similar to GW1 would be really helpful.
