If thats the case and they take away the penalty ppl will just exploit it. They will be like i dont like this dungeon, please kick so i dont get penalty! And if you dont kick ill just stand in entrance and not help at all...
Or all kinds of crappy situations in which ppl will rather get kicked so they circumvent the 15 min penalty instead of leaving.
Think about it and remember some ppl are not nice.
So three players report the offender at the same time and then that player gets suspended. I could list a dozen games in which very similar abuses as you describe have been an issue in the past. Yes we're weighting one bad scenario against the other, but the difference here is that the developers have condoned one of the abuses by providing a tool for it while the other is undeniably opposed by everyone. Players need to remember that MMO games are not just a game but they are service, and that service includes customer support which historically includes game master moderation.
It is astonishing how bad the MMORPG communities have become. Once upon a time game masters used to suspend players for doing so much as stealing a mob spawn (Everquest or FFXI for example), and now we see trolling and griefing by exploiting any mechanic possible.Edited by pecheckler on July 23, 2016 6:30PMEnd the tedious inventory management game.0 -

Gaming has changed from being just a hobby to now a Worldwide Cash Cow are you surprised. I have been watching this development for the past 6 or 7 years. Since the F2P theme entered the market. And since that there is a monetary value on all life on this planet, this was just inevitable. This is the end result of Prue Extreme Capitalism, ever atom in the universe is weighed "only" in monetary value.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Zos has acknowledged that it is unintended that a player have the 15 min lockout when they are kicked from a group. They intend to correct this.0
