Party Leader being able to Boot, BROKEN!

Neverwinter, you Have to change the permission of the party leader to be able to "boot" players.
I just spent an hour, 30 potions, and 5 injury kits completing Spellplauge T2 dungeon. Only to be booted from the party, the instant the boss went to down. Thereby, losing out on my Dungeon Delve chest.
The story of this particular situation is irrelevant, but I will give them anyway. I am a GF, the wizard kept dying in the fight, because she couldn't handle the Adds for a moment, while I went to go pull Adds off of the boss and TR. She proceeded to blame me for her incompetence and dying, when I assure you it was only because of her incompetence that she died. I have done Spellplague over 20 times, and play exactly the same way, and never have any problems doing this.
The wizard complained that I didn't do damage and/or hold Threat.... I didn't hold Threat? Really? I had over 2mill damage taken, the next closest in my party was a GWF w/ 800K, I think I held threat....
Regardless, upon completion of a dungeon, no one Random Pug who was lucky enough to get "Party Leader", should be able to boot anyone else out of the group, thereby denying them their Chest or loot drops. I understand why the mechanic is in the game, but it is broken and being abused. At the beginning of a dungeon, being able to boot people w/ a low gear score, or the wrong classes, etc. etc... ok, that is fine. At least you are frustrated, but only mildly frustrated and not wasting Potions, and hours of your time for Nothing.
Summary: Upon any completion of a boss fight or end of a Dungeon, no one should be able to boot and deny someone from their loot, when it took a team effort to get there. That is inherently broken, giving power to people who Do and Will Continue to Abuse it. Causing Frustration for players, and others like me, who will leave this game because of it.

and something needs to be done to stop people from kicking people so they get all the loot to themselves
Either, you run through the dungeon as a Party, and complete it. Or YOU Leave, thereby denying yourself a chance at the Loot/chest. One person being able to "use" someone else to get items, and then kick them out when they are done "using" them, is Broken. Please fix this, FAST.

I "chose" them? I didn't chose anything. I can be the one who makes the party before the dungeon, go into the dungeon, and someone else will now have "Party Leader".
Do you really think I have the time, or the means, to sit there and Identify some random "Screen Names" quality of character that I haven't a clue about them. Plus it is the internet, people can hide behind their screen names w/ almost no repercussions, and can act anyway they want... It is just a fact. And giving someone this "Power" over others, is broken, and the wrong type of person will abuse it, and continue to do so. Especially when there is only "Benefits" to them, and no "consequences"
This.
****ing tired of this bull**** being abused by some virgins.
lol, sooo true
I hopefully sense sarcasm here.... This is so **** easy to fix. Once we reach the point in the dungeon where it is no longer finding us replacements if party members leave, then no one should have any "boot power".
Easy programming constraint, implement it, get it done, make your game better, make your player base less frustrated/angry. Retain more players, and a better quality of player.
Yes, simple, done
It's amazing that players are still needing to be educated regarding exhibiting respect and common decency toward others. The one thing that is going to drive me away from this game faster than any exploit, bug, glitch, lack of content etc., is the inconsiderate nature inherent in a large portion of this game's player base. Particularly when it comes to displaying a little bit of courtesy, consideration and respect toward fellow players. I mean, some of these people are so downright rude and nasty to be around. What exactly is going on in society to cause these people to behave in this manner? It is so disappointing.
Wait... were you responding to the person you quoted? Because, if you were, then you are way off base if you think that having someone along, helping the team succeed, for like 99% of the mission, then kicking them at the last minute to screw them out of the reward, is justified in any way.
If the leader, (or anyone else for that matter), had a problem with any party member, then they should speak up ASAP and rectify the issue...

um ... I think it is pretty obvious that I quoted him because I am agreeing with him.
Turn on that option that gives you the choice of which channel you wish to enter.
Being booted will still keep you in the dungeon and allow you to get the chest.
What? There is a way around this? Please explain in further detail?.....
It's too *tough* for them to fix. Bummer, but what can you do? Stop running the dungeons? Move on?
Thank you. That gives me reassurance for not having to deal w/ this problem in the future
Then disable the ability to kick anyone until you're done with the fix. That should have been done weeks ago.
