being kicked from a group should not require a timer

RomansXXI · July 2016

I've had group finder running for about an hour. I suddenly managed to get a group and the second I accepted the invitation to travel I was voted to be kicked. This was of no fault of my own especially since I was only grouped for a matter of seconds. Now I'm stuck with a 15 minute cool down in order to keep looking for a group. This feels like a punishment when there was no wrong doing

That is a problem... Perhaps they should make it so you cannot vote someone kicked so soon. Super easy to troll people this way.

I don't bother using the que, every time someone abandons without even starting the dungeon. It's useless, just go to your factions undaunted spot and shout in zone chat for a group.

Imo "punishment" features are dumb, there will always be people who would use them for the sake of trolling.
I would prefer "encouragement" features instead.

It's actually pretty populated on PS4 NA in AD's Elden Root. Must be a ton of people that have given up on Group Finder over party shenanigans.

Still can't get into a dungeon with group finder on PS4 NA. They should remove all penalties until they at least fix group finder properly. In the past I have been kicked before travelling and have had the group disbanded by the time I traveled and being penalized for any of these would be wrong.

i've onlt had this happen on very very rare instances.. the people I have kicked though definitely needed a penalty. bit if I had my way the penalty would be gone.

What is sort of funny is if you think about it is a penalty for finding a group using the dungeon finder. Because the timer starts for everyone as soon as you successfully get put in a group. So you are actually getting a penalty for using the dungeon finder correctly.

Just sort of a lazy half assed way to code it.

prime example, get into a coa group. healer was magica dps (wasnt that good, but fine with me) tank was medium/heavy armour with bow spamming funnel health, and nothing else. he got kicked immediately. we qued for a tank, blew through to last boss roflestomping the dungeon. we get ro last boss, read book, and a tanj pops in.

we didn't need him but why make him waste his time helping right? we wait 15 minutes for him to get there, we whipe not expecting to get heavy atked by boss, so I msg him and asked him to start taunting (we did wait 15min after all). he asked what a taunt was and got kicked.

he had 501cp, which takes a long time to get. that's long enough to play this ga,e and know what a freakim taunt is. if he was low cp I'd understand, but 501 is a long rime on eso. esp since he wasnt in chat, cba explaining a ta tank role when the guy obvioj=sly isn't setup for it. I politelt asked him to not que as a tank because that would irritate his future groups. I kinda hope he spent that 15 minutr ban googling 'taunting eso'.

but that's good because 15 minutes is fair enough to assess the group. if the group is THAT bad you'll figute it out soon enough.It works correctlt as the target aim are those that join/leave. but a 5 minute timer would work just as well and punish honest players less severely.

5 minutes would be much better. 15 minutes is half a dungeon. If it takes you half a dungeon to find out the group is bad, chances are you might be bad.

Ive honestly thought a penalty should be given to the first person to willingly leave the dungeon and only them.
