kicking out players just because they are playing with a certain playstyle not enough?

Tradewind

Is kicking out players just because they are playing with a certain playstyle not enough? Now they are kicking players out just because they can? I was playing as a Healer, and my role in the group was to heal.

I was in the middle of running the vEarthen Root Enclave dungeon with a group, and they kicked me out for no reason at all. They were speed running the dungeon, and I didn't say anything at all. We had already killed two bosses, and then they kicked me out right before the last one. What's wrong with this game?

Yes, I reported them all, but will Zenimax do anything about it? No.

Why was I kicked out? This is ridiculous!

If we play with HA, some players harass, bully, and kick us. If we play with a Healer, some players still kick us. Zenimax, please address this issue and work to stop such behavior.

Did you just whisper all of them you would report them for kicking you, before you even knew why they kicked you?

It's a game mechanic provided by ZOS, I wouldn't assume reporting them for using it does anything.

Are you sure you fulfilled your role and they can have no other reasons for kicking you besides being meanies?

There was no reason at all for kicking me out. None. Unless they were farming something in the last boss and kicked me out to invite a friend.

I know Zenimax won't do anything, as always. But once again, this situation proves that players are kicking out others for no reason at all, just because they can. Do you think this is fair? No, it's not. It's completely wrong. Players like this are toxic, and Zenimax needs to start working on something to prevent this from happening.

I see no proof that you were kicked for using a HA build in your post, that seems to be an assumption on your part. There are many reasons to kick a player but the most common is that a guildie or friend logged on that they wanted to run with so they kicked you and invited that person. Does it suck being removed mid dungeon, definitely, but kicking a player is almost never about persecuting a specific build and is normally social (as above with a friend or guildie) or performance related.

I don't think kicking is a reportable offense.

Anyway, I'm sorry you experienced this. Getting kicked from a group doesn't feel good, and it's a shame if it really was just for some petty reason... but these are random strangers on the internet. You may be expecting too much from them.

I recommend attempting to find some like-minded players or guildies to run dungeons with. The group finder is quick and easy, but it produces completely random results and you're likely to get both the the best and the worst of what the game has to offer when using the group finder.

To be honest, it sounds like you're making a lot of assumptions here.

Probably realized they don't need a healer, they need a 3rd or 4th dps. If they don't do something about self healing this will continue and they will have completely eliminated the healer role outside of very endgame activities.

Are you sure about that? I will report them every time they kick, bully, or behave toxically.

So you've been the Healer? Which sets did you use?

Necrotech_Master

like others said based on what you have posted there is not enough context as to why you were kicked, you only posted that you were kicked and that you were going to report the people for kicking you

and as others noted, getting kicked out of a group is generally in itself that being reported will likely not be actioned on

Why is your top picture cropped? What piece of loot is that reported in loot log?

Yeah, if the info you gave us so far is everything that happened, I think you make a lot of assumptions. I'm also convinced kicking someone from a group on itself is something that ZOS will sanction people for. Nobody likes getting kicked, but I think this game would be a lot more fun (and less stressy) for you if you would stop seeing everything that's not so nice as something that needs action from higher hand.

Seems like there is something missing to this story. I’ve been playing this game a long while and I can count on both hands the number of times I have been unjustifiably kicked.

Their buddy who needs gear from the last boss logged on. That's why you were kicked, 100%.

Only that makes sense. And do you believe this is okay?! It's not. ZeniMax can't allow this.

Soarora

Are you sure nothing else happened you aren’t telling us about? Were there any discussions in chat, did you stand and look AFK, were you doing your role well? In all cases I’ve seen, if someone is kicked right before the last boss it’s because they’ve annoyed the rest of the group members by their behavior be it in chat, in game, or by being AFK.

Was it right after last secret boss? Sorry I assumed maybe you didn't realize it was final boss. I saw the achievement and a curated loot and was wondering if maybe they just kicked you to queue the next dungeon.

I am going to guess they decided to pull a friend in for final boss loot. Personally I think something like that is very rude. And I think that should at least get people a temporary ban from using the queue. It is different if someone is not pulling weight. But if they messaged back saying for a friend I could see it maybe being actionable. Next time don't say you are reporting them. Just ask why they kicked you.

They should have reported you for abusing the reporting system.

Players can kick anyone for any reason. And it should remain that way.
