Getting kicked from groups is still yielding a 15 minute re-queue timer

pecheckler · August 2016

Apparently me being a CP350 tank, even with all armor and weapons except jewelry gold, i'm not good enough to participate.

So far my experience today has been:

Queue for random veteran dungeon - get new dungeon - kicked immediately by leader (not vote).
Wait 15 minutes.
Queue for random veteran dungeon - get new dungeon - see "kick him" in group text chat. Get vote kicked.
Wait 15 minutes.
Queue for random veteran dungeon - get new dungeon - run all the way to dranos velador. Kicked (by leader) as soon as I enter the room.

How much longer do we have to wait for a resolution to this 15 minute timer abuse? This has to have been one of the most frequently mentioned issues on the forums in the last month. Does Zenimax listen to customers?

What do you think is setting them off?

What I wouldn't give to actually get into a group for the opportunity of being kicked.....

It's my level. Absolutely 100% my CP level as visible from the group UI. I have been verbally abused in the past for "queuing for white gold tower without 501CP" only seconds after joining a group, followed by being kicked.

It's the same stupidity all over again just with the new DLC dungeons.

Party leaders shouldn't be allowed to endlessly kick players that the group finder places in their party, and it absolutely shouldn't yield a 15 minute timer for the players who are kicked. Same goes with vote kicking.

Sadly this was mentioned often and I'm honestly not surprised.

Unless you can find a guild to run with that'll accept you at 350 CP, your best bet to not get kicked is grind out those last CP to reach cap.

The 15 minute timer was a dumb idea for PVE dungeons

The 15 minute timer was stated to be given to everyone when they que as incentive to finish the content. Normally you don't notice it cause it takes more than the 15 minutes to complete. However the problem here is more the people than the system.

i dont understand what they did with the dungeons .. i think it stems from giving freedom of classes to join the dungeon they have allowed to much then the fact of locking them to the instance ... FFXIV has the common system 1 tank 1 healer 2 dps but once you accept it your locked in at that class and that area.. if you leave you being the leaving person you cop a 30 minute penalty if everyone votes to disband no penalty and if your kicked no penalty.. problem is ZOS though it was right to penalize everyone from the start and based it off the moment you enter .. sure your going to get abusers of the FFXIV system but how many ppl que for a run and how often to either fail or just to cop a penalty.. ESO and there lock in is silly once you que and a group is found your locked in yes but it doesnt allow you to choose to accept the run or not.. in FFXVI you do get the option to join or reject 3 queues 3 rejects 30 min penalty .. with long queues that happen often in ESO your stuck with who ever your grouped with so if there afk because of whatever reason you get penalized or you get kicked because they dont like your cp lvl or what ever the reason is you get penalized its STUPID .. the system should be changed /removed!!

Whoa, I'm just shocked that queuing for a dungeon worked. Bravo!!!

But I noticed you are doing veteran, so maybe that's why it doesn't work for me.

And yeah no reason to have to wait 15 minutes due to others.

It is pretty much like several different things in the game. Instead of thinking about what a player might want. They go the quick easy way. I use to think maybe none of them ever played an mmo before. But it has been going on so long I've moved on to thinking the original coding might be a train wreck they are afraid to touch.

Honestly I might be wrong but I think there's some bugs related to this.

I qued for group, within less than a split second it says someone disbanded the group, literally so fast you couldn't even see the Gamertags. This has happened a few times plus I thought the leader can no longer disband the group when formed in activity finder?
So I'm sure that's a bug. It's happened at least 3 times to me on console.

Something similar may be happening to you, although other cases will be them voting to kick.

Try to organize a group without the use of grouping tool, it goes much better.
