dungeon? nah i don;t care PvE in fact.
seriously i have played so many competitive games so far, but i really don;t see such person a lot.
I think it is not even a thing to really care about. even in tera sure there is not that much people who do that afk on purpose that much since i have experienced a lot of pvp arena here. even cs i have never seen a single person who does that much frequently on every rounds. of course, i have seen very rarely, like 1 person in 10 rounds? Usually people who protect ladders, they sometimes do but mostly come back as enemy gets on ladder from my experience.
rather i would say abusing kick func to punish noobs happens much more than that. i would say even 100 times more.
KTera's pvp population is very bad due to this func. nobody really play pvp unless they are pvp expert knowing proper item sets.
For NA it happens only in 3s and fwc tho but definitely not good idea to kick the butts of new players rather than welcoming them.
having bad item shouldn't be the reason of being kicked, otherwise game is either competitive esports level of game or p2w game.
If someone is genuinely trying to pull their own weight then that is perfectly fine, but if they have bad items as a result of their own laziness or refusal to at least read a guide before hand, then honestly, I see no reason for them to stay in the battleground. That kind if logic encourages people to not read guides, not gear properly, not learn their class or the game before they hop into a battleground. Extremely selfish on the part of that player.
that's just same as you saying you want to kick noobs becuz you think you are more experienced than them so they generally worse than you. and you determine this by your prejudice. I know you are truly better than those kinda people, but still it is still same as kicking noobs on your purpose. I recommend you rather carry them rather than punish them since you are more skilled. and this is not gonna always happen to you exclusively but on enemy team as well.
why do we have to do something that loses population of Tera by kicking their butts?
if you are truly better than them, plz carry people rather than punishing them. even tho they purposely do use their preferred set that doesn't work that well.
Well, here's your generic standard answer: the Tera community was asking for this.
What would/did happen when we had no/no viable kicking function? Same as in BnS: AFK Bots. Rep farmers. And more bots/leechers.
You might not know it, but there was a very long time that the kicking function in CS didn't work at all. Even one single vote, one single miss (e.g. caused by fighting), another AFK bot did leave the bot ingame. So having 2 afk bots, it was completely impossible to kick them. They were happily performing their auto-attacks at spawn and let them be carried. You want that again? Most unlikely.
In Tera, becuz of kicking func, punishing noobs happens much more than punishing afk people. for 3s and fwc, like 100% and for CS occasionally.
I played tons of CS matchs but i really see such person who goes afk from the start on purpose NOT THAT MUCH. in fact i saw many people using kick func to punish noobs tho.
Even tho that happens it is not always happening to your team. so equal anyway.
Due to this kick func, KTera's pvp population is very much worse than NA's even tho KTera's overall population is much more than NA's (from my eye but not def sure of this)
like nobody really play pvp unless they are pvp expert knowing proper item sets.
none of competitive esports game have kicking func, DO THEY HAVE vote on kick func?
heroes of the storm NO~, starcraft 2 NO~, dota NO~, lol NO~, overwatch NO~.
about mmo, guildwars 2 NO, BNS NO~, WOW NO~ (wow has report afk func tho).
What i mean, why do we have to do such thing that stresses out new players to let them quit game by kicking their butts?
why you don't want to carry them since you are more experienced but punishing them?
ah i dont think statistics is required. you can just enter 3s or fwc without proper item gear which your party requires you to have. they just kick you becuz they think you noob.
you will then realize how 3s/fwc is unplayable for new players of Tera.
You cannot simply deduce that because it happens for 1 case, 2 cases, or even 20 cases that it happens 100% of the time. Does that mean it occurs in every single raid? Of course not.
I could say that AFK players get kicked more than noobs, with no statistics or evidence to back it up. It's merely my opinion. Does this make it fact? Not until there is more to suggest that this is the case.
I've been in plenty of raids where we've kept the lesser geared players/fods and instead focused our attention on the afk players. Of course I will not argue that this is true in every single raid out there.
Might I remind you that these battlegrounds are unequalized. This means that you are supposed to have gear before entering if you wish to contribute meaningfully to the raid. The game is designed this way so that those who are serious about gearing their characters have a place to pit themselves against others of the same mentality.
ok. 99% then. even tho i make statistic i am sure you don't even believe my statistic. XD
But for 3s, for sure it is almost unplayable level for noobs/new players, due to the fact that their butts got kicked everytime :pleased:
How noobs know proper gears for 3s/fwc? and why you don't carry them but punish? On whatever reason except afk? is this serious esports game or p2w game?
Newbies can just try to climb the ladder and people would fight hard for the sake of having a nice rank tag beside their name :pleased:
yeah. this could be great idea that prevents kicking noob/new player abusing and also properly punishes afk people.
3s. You've said it yourself. Ever tried playing a 2v3? Players who queue 3s aren't queuing to carry someone. They're playing to have a chance at winning. And since you're so passionate about the whole e-sports thing, let me remind you about a core element of e-sports. Fairness/Balance. When a team is a player down can you call that fair and balanced? Of course not.
if you want Tera's 3s content to be esports level of competitive game, ok then it is fine. just kick the butt of new people then.
I will rather agree to Sinastria saying that inspect func need to be removed to keep noobs from the game and also punish afk people.
