Some Things That Need to Change

I am not sure if everyone has encountered this yet, but there is currently a group of players that spam the dungeon queue. Not to get into a group, but to find a group at the final boss. They queue with GFs and Clerics because they know they will fill slots quicker, and be at the top of the queue. Once in they start spamming vote kicks. If the Cleric gets in he targets the GF that was in the group, if the GF gets in then he targets the Cleric. This allows the other player to infest the group as well. Once both players are in the group they start spamming vote kicks on everyone and having their friends start to queue. This effectively results in their group taking over a dungeon at the final boss.

Now if you know their names (which I won't post) then you can just kick them when you see them join, but for people that have no idea who they are, and the idea that anyone can do this and it will probably run rampant over time. This seems like a real problem to me.

I know that there is probably no way to stop this with game mechanics, but please make it bannable. I know it isn't currently because I had it happen to me when I first began running T2 dungeons. I reported the group and moved on. Now I just joined a group in public solo queue and it were two of the people I reported just spamming vote kicks. They must have got someone and I took their spot, then they kicked me.

I think this will ultimately ruin the game, and may drive away new players.

TL;DR: Using vote kick to hijack groups should be bannable.

    That does not make any sense, at the first "vote kick" the Gf starts, people will say NO and if he retry, he will be kicked

    Well in my experience, which I'll admit was only once being part of the original group, the player put that the other player was afk. So if no one knew the player. There is a chance that they may vote yes.

    Also I joined another group where the same thing seemed to have happened. I don't know if the GF and Cleric joined at the same time or if it was the same scenario as my group, but it looked exactly the same.

    You can name guilds in the guilds forum saying you had a displeasing experience with this guild because they did so and so. Just has you can say this guild is helpful for x reason.

    Nevermind :

    What will not be tolerated?
    •We will not tolerate Guild Drama. If you have an issue with a particular guild or member, do not post about it on our forums. This will only get such posts removed and infractions placed upon one's account, which may lead to banning.

    The above poster is correct. Naming and shaming an entire guild is treated no differently than the practice against an individual player.

    Closing as nothing good can come of this thread.
