  There isn't a vote kick in skirmishes? Or is it just this particular skirmish? Because my TR got kicked from throne for no reason I could see, I did my best, didn't damage the hulks and then poof, hello PE. I think the kicked person should at least be shown the reason for the kick, even if the reason is "not 15K iLevel".
  
  But returning to the topic, my low ilevel chars run Master of the Hunt and there's also lots of people doing very little or no damage, most at least follow at first and throw couple of hits, some just sit at the campfire and do 0 damage.

  Hm, if you die in IG you have to run the swinging axe gauntlet to get back into the game. You don't just respawn back in the main arena. While this is not a problem to complete most of the time, if you have a serious lag problem then it can be almost impossible to complete and return to the main game. I know this from personal experience. This might account for some of your AFK players...though obviously not all of them

  I've encountered it once and left cause I wasn't gonna carry him. Had guild mates says this is also fairly frequent. Best solution as always is build your own team to avoid it.

  In Master of the Hunt, the game doesn't allow kicking because "the player has not been in the instance long enough".
  
  Because that skirmish takes less than 5 minutes, you will never manage to kick the leech. The leech knows this as well and keeps requeueing until other people get tired of carrying him and go run anything but MotH.
  
  Other times it's the classic "there's 'valuable' loot on the floor".

  Morning. I run IG (illusions gambit) alllll the time. Multiple characters it basically is what i do most of my day cuz i enjoy it. The past couple of days, I have noticed a growing trend. The AFK Leech. Ive been in a group where ppl would participate in half of round 1 before going afk till the very end. Die and just sit there till forced respawn. Continue to afk till they die or the skirmish ends. The most Ive seen do this is 3. The least is obviously 1. A random group last night a guy said he was with the same HR in a few skirmishes and AFK'd the whole time in them.
  
  Kick them you say? There is NO vote kick once the skirmish starts. This reminds me of back in the day when the AFK bots would Q for PVP and just sit there or run to the center and die. rince repeat.
  
  Please please please allow a vote kick for these leeches.

  I am happy if they leech during a reflect phase so if i do the msitake the will ress;p

  They literally sit dead or stand still until they die. zero damage and no movement. Even when voting, you have to wait until the timer drops. Its really getting to me.

  I've not seen this yet but I don't run as many as you do.
  
  What I have seen is if you DC during the load in, the group can start the skrim without you and you can't get in once you relog in. Your stuck in the entry way waiting.
