Game issues driving away casual players

1. Dungeon queues have never worked well.
2. Kicking has always been used for exploiting/ninjaing.
3. No game supported loot rules.
I would consider these a major issue in this game that has probably chased many casual players away.
The party leader used to be able to kick so, at that time the problem was people kicking all 4 people from group after boss kills.
That was replaced with the vote kick system which could be good if it actually required a majority vote to work....but no, it takes 2 people (out of 5) to vote kick anyone & everyone off the team.
In addition there is no game enforced loot system other than you can't need on class gear not for your class. What people expect regarding rolling will vary from group to group. Most pug groups will need anything that can be needed. Then you have groups that ask for greed only rolls on class specific gear. Then you have groups that want greed roll on all gear regardless if it is class specific. Then you have people that join pug groups, never say a word, and throw a fit if someone rolls need on an item they need or even an item that is not class specific.
The best option is to find a group of people you play with regularly, and never ever even think of using the dungeon random queue system. Also, never assume the people you find in LFG are any better than what you will find in random queue. -Which is not to say you won't find good players using either.
With all the effort put forth in the last module as well as the upcoming module aimed an getting players to buy character slots, companions, and artifact upgrades, are there any plans to fix these quality of play issues that have plagued the game since beta?

They just need to make more loot options. As in, give people more choice to what to set the party loot rules to. Sure, add a need only option; also add a greed only option. Then, that party can choose which loot rule they want.
This issues are extremely old and discussed many times (and no dev response), and yet only "need" option is not acceptable, why would i go to a dungeon with a chance only to get a swash set that sells for less than 180k while an HV goes for nearly a mil ?
As was proposed many times, there should be an option to set it upfront (by vote or lead), options like greed/pass only, and need/greed/pass with bind on need .
Also, use the Guild recruitment forum here to research before you try to join a Guild, don't randomly pick one in game.
