Leaders kicking after boss killed

Just got to experience this bull$#!^ for the first time today. Finished a run, the second the boss died the group lead kicked everyone so he could keep the boss loot for himself. I didn't even get a chance to grab the DD event chest. Basically I wasted 45 minutes of my time and I didn't even get the <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> name since the game doesn't tell you who kicked you.
Seriously devs, you need to rework the group system. Group leaders have too much control and the other members have no way to get rid of bad leaders (afk leaders in pvp matches anyone?). Leaders being able to kick indiscriminately without a group vote is asinine and opens the door for all sorts of trolling. At the very least I think the group leader role should be removed entirely for the queue system and replaced with team votes.
Oh, and for those of you who will invariably say, "This is why you should only group with friends/guildies/premades/whatever," you can keep your opinion to yourselves. I'm on at odd times and rarely have the opportunity to group with friends so usually find myself stuck using the queue. The devs didn't think the grouping system out very well and it needs to be adjusted.

I feel for you I do and I do think this issue needs looked at but you do know that one stupid line you put in will BRING peoples opinions down upon you. Its a forum its all about opinions.
Nepht and Dr Deflecto on primus
This is why you should only group with friends/guildies/premades/whatever
ps: Also when you are posting in a forum try to not insult people that haven't even had the chance to answer you yet. The best solution is to have friends and pre-mades. Being rude at the OP to all the people that have this opinion makes you look bad from the start...
I only wonder how much more common that practice is going to become, as the ones who do it have little to zero repercussions to deal with afterwards. People can complain, add them to guild "do not group lists", post names in chat, etc...but with so many players, nobody is going to remember, and the a-holes will carry on doing it over and over.
I was playing my Wizard, I forget the name of the dungeon but it is the one with the Daughter of Lolth Bonus boss in it. Anyway the long short of it is me and the Rogue peel off to go clear that side chamber and the bonus boss. I take the time to inform the group of what we are doing and invite them to join us.
Rather than join us the tank starts to RAGE utterly. Cussing, spitting telling us we are holding the group back. Yet if you press X I was topped out for DPS, Control and Kills..(Was a weird group). The long short of it we get to the last boss fight things go south about 3/4ths of the way through and groupmates start dropping like flies. I manage to stay alive, though lots of blinking and quick throwing AoEs. As the last member of our group dies I manage to finish off the boss, and even pick up the tank so we can finish the Adds.
So what does this little ****stain do? Roll need on the wizards robes. I am the only wizard in the group, his reasoning is I didn't EARN it and he's decided to punish me for NOT kissing his ***. PWE could give two ****s about people doing this, and kicking entire groups so they can ninja loot as well. No point in *****ing about it, unless you tell them you are willing to pay for a protected group mode.
".Go to Options > Interface > HUD > Show Map Transfer Choices: ON
This creates a popup window which gives you a choice of instance to transfer to. If you don't make a choice, you will remain in the dungeon and should be able to loot your DD chest."
Here is post to initial thread, Hope it helps..

I had that on completely for curiosity and its annoying as hell to deal with when being kicked especially if you have to fight adds before the chest like in throne of idris. but yes it is a work around. It appears every 5 seconds.
No no, it will be like a rune/enhancement thing - you'll have a 90% chance to resist kick (-5%/dungeon) and the ward will be consumed instead of your go at the loot if you fail the roll.
