I was curious to know if anyone knows when this syndrome is going to be resolved. this is the 3rd time in a week this has happened to me. going on some T2 dungeon when suddenly after killing the boss the party leader will kick you to steal the loot.
Sure, one might avoid this by playing with friends / guilds however not anyone has the privilege and time to sync with friends. this is really a turn-off in this game. do people actually get sastisfacation by stealing purple pixels??

Ive got to admit I was a complete ****** to someone the other day during a DD, this one party member was just constantly picking up EVERY green despite all the other members asking him not to..
'Im trolling you' he replies and carries on grabbing greens all the way through the Dungeon, now he was the DC so I didn't kick him straight away or anything.
I left it till the boss had 1 bar left and then kicked him..
So yeah ive felt the pain of being dumped for no reason and lashed it out on an idiot as well..
You didn't kick the guy for no reason. On the same note, is it a bad thing that I'm laughing about your story?
Greens greens greens an everyone raging cos he was filling the screen with the things so I let him carry on up until the boss, help us take him out (1 bar left) an then BYE! No boss loot or DD chest..sorry for you...
I was probably a little harsh but at the same time the guy was being a muppet so deserved it, if anything its his reputation that should be smeared as a bad party member for future runs..
An no I don't mind people finding it funny, hell I do..
I am conflicted on this. On one hand, he did do a lot of healing or whatever and earn his place in the group and deserve a share of the loot. On the other, I don't like players like that either and I love when they get their comeuppance.
You cheated that guy but you taught him a lesson. I say that's one for one and that's pretty neutral. You shouldn't feel bad, but you shouldn't feel accomplished either.
When its people like the OP states though that's just some total nonsense and those kind of peeps need some form of slap..
I agree. But I would not worry as those people tend not to be around long. Other people, like I said, get angry and devote time and energy into making sure nobody wants to play with them. Also, if all he wants to do is pug? Go for it. Good luck getting into a guild by the guy you booted for 2000 AD.
I've had this happen to me on a cleric but I wasn't trolling people and picking up everything. There were 2 clerics in the party and it was during a DD. When we relogged the leader changed from the GWF to the other cleric who I guess didn't like me because I have an unusual spec. My friend the GWF sent me a message right after asking what happened and I told him that I got kicked. I guess that cleric couldn't handle a cleric that can do damage.
Even if they are trolling they still don't deserve this, you've just wasted their time. It is much better to simply ignore them so you never have to deal with them again.
Also people like this is why I rearrange my HUD so the loot result appears at the side under my quest tracker. Also he probably needed the gold since clerics tend to need more potions then anyone else.
I hope I never run into you in a random group.
If you want to get on your high horse about then feel free to do so, ive been honest about it and explained why.
Communication is key but obviously with some it does nothing to sway opinion..
Where you intentionally being a <beep>? Did the rest of the group tell you you were being a <beep>? Then it's not the same thing.
No the guy didn't even say a word to me. I barely talked the whole dungeon except when they talked strategy and to tell them at the begging I was a dps spec.
GWF Mistress Roxxy and DC Lady Valentine both @loverboyusa
Usually in this case you are the one who gets lead in the group though.
Thanks for the heads up. If this happens to me, I'll be sure to ask for leader and explain. I NEVER trust pugs.
Nepht and Dr Deflecto on primus
You know me and I still booted you.
Git Gud M8!

Cause I'm worth it. Playing since 2009.
Yep, they insist on you handing the them the lead, just to be able to do this, or mob train you & the other 4 leave.
I've not kicked anyone in a dungeon, but before the 'bot' friendly changes to PvP I've kicked 'no score' bots just before winning a domination match!
What Class Are You?
community: "Look at this horrible mechanic, it's making my playtime unbearrable!"
Mods: "Lets just hide this from GD so no one really sees it....."
And this is why your game has been flushed down the toilet by 90% of the original population.
More curious than anything, I could care less who you kick in your DD.
Because he probably has a conscience which is telling him that what he did was really unfair, and he is trying to get validation from the ITGs on the forum.....
I have no problem with you picking every freaking green up you want. But do it in combat and I'll get pissed off because I can't see anything except the stupid notification windows, even after I've hurriedly spammed Shift+3 20 times.
easy fix, rearrange your HUD and put it under your quest tracker. That's what I did and it never gets in my way now.

Great Idea!
So, the loot system doesn't award the item until after the timer expires, regardless of whether or not all the votes are in or not. If all votes are not in it omits that person who did not vote like most of us would assume. The key to me figuring this out is this:
**If all party members do not vote need, greed, or pass and a group member leaves, then no one gets loot. That's right the loot gets bugged and lost.
So if he kicks you before you vote "any they know this, at least this guy did" no one will get the item, wait until the very last second so that as soon as you vote the system rolls and awards the item before he has a chance to boot you; because he is watching his chat for you to select need or greed.
This by no means says that I somehow think this should not be looked at, like locking the group composition until after the loot is handed out after a boss fight or binding the loot in question to the players in a temp database table, instead of the groups temp database table until the item is awarded.
