Kicked from Shores of Tuern party during loot roll

Infernal helm dropped off boss and I was kicked before the loot roll could complete. This also cost me my chest and chance at the locked chest (I have a key on me).
Please disable party kicking immediately once the boss has been killed. Thanks.

No. It is not a bug because the developers catered different aspects of the game to different people. Obviously they can fix these kinds of things easily by giving no daily rewards to pvp afkers and not allow member kicking at bosses but they elect to hand out everything to certain players effortlessly.
Players will recall a time when dungeon party leaders had the power to kick at will for boss loot, or afk to leech dungeons (before kicking party for loot), hence a vote kick system was needed.
Cryptic never learns from past experiences and intentionally created items of exceeding rarity in order to create a high demand, but leave the power of team kicking (once again) to whoever loads the game fastest aka party leader.
Since doing SoT, you'll be surprise the number of times I get very funny requests when I'm party leader, to 'Please pass me leader', or 'please kick all HR, they have OP loot rolls'... and all kinds of nonsense.
They really need to fix this. Prevent kicking for five minutes after every boss death. However, this may lead to someone disobeying loot rules agreed at the start. So to prevent that, add an in-game feature "Setting the Loot rules to Need all" or "Greed all" or a "Round Robin".

People are greedy and never should be left to govern themselves in an mmo. Either agree as a party the loot rules, otherwise an unspoken greed rule doesn't exist as a defense for fairness but is instead an excuse for selfish greed.
Yeah but now 2 people will be able to queue for SoT with the *intention* of kicking people if something awesome drops, and they will always be able to execute that plan when something drops. Where as before they need the drop and to get leadership which makes it hard to wake up in the morning and go to your friend, "let's troll."
For something short like a skirmish I would just assume devs lock out kicking all together myself. I would rather deal with the occasional AFK than the possibility of loot kicking. I mean up until the named you can just leave and what have you lost? 10 minutes on a bad bounce (they afk at the end before boss or something). Fixing that problem while introducing kicking duos to the ecosystem makes no sense to me.
it takes 3 votes to kick someone (majority of the party)
Nope.
Initiate Kick against 1 person in a party of 5.
The person voted against cannot vote and abstains.
Therefore game is looking for 50% yes votes between remaining 4 players. Initiator automatically votes Yes. Needs only 1 extra person to vote yes for kick to succeed.
It really SHOULD take 3, but unfortunately that's not how it works
Remove the incentive for kicking, and it will stop.
Interesting. It should take 3 for this reason (I am agreeing with you and elaborating).
The person being kicked cannot vote, so the person initiating the vote should not be able to vote. It is dispute so it is unfair to select which side of the dispute is on the right side just because they initiated the kick.
Now then that leaves 2 abstains, and 3 voters, 2 of those voters should vote yes to have a kick.
In reality though it should be the vote kick and the kickee are forced to abstain, and the remaining group forms a jury.
Instanced loot also solves another peeve of mine, that players are willing to roll loot but run on while expecting others to pick up the loot for them. Let RNG decide who the loot drops for so it drops as instanced loot for each player and they can pick them up themselves or don't.
Here here, I have been screaming for this since day one. We already get our own drops in CTAs. The tech is already there, lets just do it for everything. Problem solved
Unfortunately despite asking numerous times for them to change the vote kick system to required 3 people in order to kick it still requires 2. That will be on my weekly feedback report again. :mad:

Not sure what you mean. Loot is instanced, meaning that nice purple drop might drop for several people, it also might not drop for anyone.
I pick up my own loot... and no it's not mentioned to other players. No more loot roll dialogs, and no more drama about greed vs need.
I get my drops, you get yours, end of story.
You kind of hit the nail on the head there debunking your own argument.
If the feature functions exactly as advertised and you feel it should function differently that is feedback and NOT a bug report. Bugs are when features do not function as advertised.
Party Leaders having complete control over kicking from party is working exactly as advertised and as such is NOT a bug. There is no error in the code. It's working exactly as it was intended when it was coded.
The feature has been reconsidered and will be changed in Module 5 but until then party leaders have absolute power by design.
You are saying that instead of asking for a pay raise (feedback) you should tell the person who signs the check that there's an error with the paycheck (bug). As long as you are getting what you are informed you would be getting then it's not an error whether you agree with the situation or not.
Good because I have been kicked as well by a guy who was needing every rune stone. I'm willing to bet that guy was a seller, Speaking of which. I've been getting spammed hard in my mail, in tells a lot recently. All high level purples should be soul bound.
