Yea. PvP lead has the same rights as skirmish lead. Team leader can kick who and whenever he pleases. It has been this way for a while. If it's not a bug it would have been nice to learn about the change as it happened.
Unless this changed recently, you can only kick someone that's disconnected.
The team leader cannot just kick anyone he pleases in a PvP game. However, there's a way for less morally upstanding players to enable the kicking of their fellow party members, but it requires a bit more effort than simply kicking them whenever they please.
Probably most of them complainers have no knowledge of campfire sitting autokick. But i have in past asked the leader to kick the campfire sitter who was jumping around to avoid kick. And he was gone soon, so i cant say if it was auto kick or not.
Ok, i see different answers, so: yes, you can be kicked by party leader from PvP match when you are not disconnected. I heard some people get leavers penalty, some doesnt. Its, at least for me, an exploit and i send bug report already. And i saw 3 people from top tier PvP guild getting kicked when they met another 3 man premade. Pug who kicked them when asked: why? said, that he doesnt want a long match.
edit: and yes, you cant do it by just right click->kick person, thx god its little more complicated, so some people still dont know how to do it.

I got kicked from a match once. The guy that had lead in that match had been throwing a fit and was yelling and swearing in team chat because we weren't doing exactly as he said and then... poof. I was back in Trade of Blades. I'm pretty sure the guy just went down the list and kicked everyone before leaving the match himself because he zoned into Trade of Blades just a few seconds after me and didn't seem phased at all by being booted mid match. As soon as he zoned in, he just went to beat on the practice dummies while waiting for a new match to start.
This keeps happening to me and it's driving me crazy. I get kicked from a match, and I get the leaver penalty? Seriously?? And no this isn't sitting at a campfire, this is right in the middle of running around busting my *** to get kills and capture nodes.
Really frustrating to know some jerk can just boot you and slap you with a 30 minute ban whenever they feel like it.
I'm going to close this down now as discussion of misbehavior/violations is not permitted here as such is a form of naming and shaming. Please use the support page or the ingame GM tool to report such matters.

You cannot kick anyone as far as I know.. I've tried, it says "Kicking non allowed in this mode". Only people you can kick are the disconnected ones.

How the %^$$ can someone get away with kicking a group of people just because they did not go to a node that they wanted everyone to go to ?
How can this be allowed?
