I can see the OF forum posts now: "I got kicked by elitists and now can't flag, something something toxic something something canceled account"It's a good thing that can very very very easily be abused if they did add a penalty for kicking. Vote kick can already be abused. 2 people in a 4-man is all that's needed to kick someone. People kick people in some dungeons just so that they can get a friend in for zodiac drops.
Full confession.
I did in fact pulled the DC once in LotA. At the time I was very upset about my coil experience when BCOB was still locked. I couldn't get a group in my first FC. No one was willing to teach me much about it. The FC pretty much had -just- enough players to have 1 raid group and about 4 stragglers. But a friend who'd I'd spoke about this asks me what I'm doing. I had just started LotA. I get told to find a way to get out. I didn't want to troll or abuse this party so what I did was just unplug my router. For about 5 minutes.
Karma hits. I now can't get my internet up. >.>; Do everything with the router. Restart. Unplug plug back in. I get asked where am I? Staring at this router that won't connect to the internet... Basically, I end up out of it 30 minutes later when I finally get my ass to Wineport and ready to join this merry band of people doing Coil together. My second time in Coil!!!!! With this giant femroe named Denn. Scary *nod*
tldr; I "DC'd" once to join a coil run for the 2nd time ever to avoid 30 min penalty and trolling/abusing a group. Karma came and gave me its own penalty.
I love the tanks in HM trials who use Sword Oath but don't have the gear or the knowledge to back it up against my own Sword Oath and gear. No vokes needed. or in CT/ST.
I met a SCH in a low level haukke roulette iirc with my friend Cheesy who was leveling GLA. I was leveling LNC/DRG so yay! Also friend 50 BRD came. Then I see what the SCH is doing. Using -cure-. The sch had cross classed Cure and was DPSing without Cleric Stance. USING CURE and DPSING without Cleric Stance. I... I... WHAT? Go to last boss and I tell my friend "Use LoS on Void III casts." I worry cause this guy is not healing my friend. And it is -my- experience, especially when not as familiar with the SCH fairy healing while dpsing, I knew that the large set of adds in Haukke makes the fight much more healing intensive (aka stop dpsing SCH and HEAL). Well yeah. Cheesy dies and I decided to not do my very best to save the SCH from dying as well. And DRG BRD kills the rest.
But yeah. Wtf SCH that DPS without using Cleric Stance, barely heals and relies on Fairy, and uses CURE all the time...wtf? It's as asinine to me as someone telling a WHm to cross class physick because cure can't crit. Yes I've heard someone say this to a friend.

It's cool that you left and called us scrubs. I mean, we only one-shot it with the next tank. THANK YOU HERO TANK, FOR TURNING THE DRAGONS ONLY WHEN NECESSARY, AND LEADING IT AWAY FROM US WHILE WE DOWNED THE ADD AND CLICKED THE THING.
Point the last bosses to the SIDES. THE OUTSIDES. NOT PARALLEL TO THE OUTSIDE RING. NOT INTO THE CENTER. TO THE FUCKING WALL. I especially hate you tanks when I am a HEALER having to heal UNECESSARY FUCKING DAMAGE going out.
