Add in "Vote to Kick" or "Report" feature for idling players. [ Edited ]

[Dayan_ZM]

Can we add in a "Vote to Kick" option for Contracts and Strongholds?  There have been numerous instances where someone joins a mission and then idles or "afk's" somewhere safe, while the rest of the team does all the work.  Once we progress or go to open a chest, then they come over and claim their (undeserved) reward, only to go off and idle somewhere later on.  Or, in the very least, add in a way to report players like this.  The "Vote to Kick" option can easily be abused.  It used to be that if they went down, we just didn't repair them and left them there (which still doesn't do much, because they just auto respawn and claim their loot anyway).  Now, they can just respawn on their own.

Now thanks to you and others of your ilk, there is a timer to respawn. I'd rather solo or carry afk or ill equipped players then deal with toxic turds who would abuse that system. Just put them on your ignore list so you are not matched with them again and move on.

Open the social tab in the game click the name hit actions at the bottom and ignore it is really that easy.

Go troll somewhere else, kid.  Sounds like you have an axe to grind with a feature you don't like (and neither do I), and you're looking for someone to dump some steam on.  Run along, little fella.  Wrong post for that.

In any case, what YOU choose to do is irrelevant.  If you want to carry scrubs who don't feel like they should contribute, then so be it.  I don't mind carrying players with low power levels, either, as long as they're trying.  However, having players deliberately standing around doing nothing while the rest of the team is clearing out enemies and killing the boss?  Unacceptable.  GM2 is much easier now than it was before, but it still takes a bit longer than GM1.  Having to play with 1 person short because they park themselves in a corner and do absoltely nothing except when a chest appears is BS, and shouldn't be allowed.  Simply "ignoring" them doesn't solve the problem, because there are no consequences.  They'll just go to another mission or stronghold after and do it again, and again.  Slap them with a warning or a temporary ban, and I bet they don't do it again.

Oh, and if you actually read the patch notes, you'd know the respawn timer is a temporary fix for the "revive bug".  Lol

- Edit:  Maybe you're unaware that people can click your name and view your profile, as well as other forums posts you've made.  Seems you like to jump from post to post, slinging negative comments left and right.  I.e., you're a troll.  Hopefully, you finally get flagged for flaming and banned.  The irony here is you Q.Qing about toxicity, while being extremely toxic yourself.  GG.

[TheRealNichivo]

 Kid? Should I be flattered. Is this like being carded for booze? Are you Methuselah?

I gave you a way to fix your issue, it's already in the game under "ignore." 

Me! negative comments? Try again. I would love for someone from EA to come in here because now you are just spewing nonsense. Please do view my posting history or my profile. I have nothing to hide. 

See it's like this, you admit leaving people in a downed state intentionally. Where I come from that doesn't fly. 

[Dayan_ZM]

Yes, kid.  Because you're a troll.  "ignoring" someone doesn't fix the problem, nice try though.  All it does is remove them from popping up in your party again, but that doesn't mean they won't be still doing it.

Try again?  LOL.  Dude, should I start copying and pasting some of the trash you've been posting?  I clicked on 6 comments you posted, and every single one was you playing the whole "Negative Nancy" routine.  You have nothing constructive to say, and rather than offering suggestions or actually explaining your point of view, you belittle the person.

Yes, I leave people in a downed state.  If they're sitting in a corner not helping, then of course I'm not going to revive them.  Why should I risk being downed to revive someone who isn't contributing?  It's called logic, fella.  Something that clearly eludes you.  Now, run along little fella.

This childish bickering ends now @Dayan_ZM and @TheRealNichivo.

If you cannot post without insulting another user or being unkind then please refrain from posting.

If it carries on past this then action will be taken.

I would love a 'Vote-To-kick" option.  A lot of players are disruptive, or unhelpful, or a liability.  It seems like a basic feature for an online game to have.  I dont know if 'ideling' players are because of the player though, or because of the trashy online service we are getting right now, but there are many a reason to want to kick someone without using ignore, which seems pretty extreme.

Vote to kick is an extremely bad idea, in multiple games it has shown to be abused, especially when players don't want a certain class, or they are not fast enough with the others in the group.

don't like a class: kick

want to be the only class of your type for ego reasons: kick

somebody decided to kill trash on the way and you don't like that: kick

not attacking something you consider a priority: kick

in every game it's been abused for some reason or another, it's a toxic facility.

an idle timer is better, they are auto removed and all progress and items not rewarded. but only if the player hasn't been blocked by a shield due to the game deciding to put it up for no reason.

a player should never be kicked simply because you don't like them, now you personally might not do that, but i guarantee you, there is an awful lot of players out there that will and they will abuse it

the other guy is right though, you come across a player who is being an idiot  then ignoring is still a better personal option rather than opening the Game to constant abuse.

Well argued @nemhook
