Shortening kick restriction

in TERA PC - General Discussion
I suppose many of you is also annoyed by that weird limitation (party can't vote kick for 2-3 (?) mins after combat). I think it serves no purpose to be that long, and the only thing it causes is slowing the progression - not being able to kick while looting or mid-fight is enough. We need to wait to kick player that has been offline for 5-10 mins during boss battle and is not coming back. We need to wait for that "pls kick me or afk" dude (plus you can't IM recruit or lfg during that time). We need to wait if we can't break a shield and need better dps (or we can't clear at all). Some ppl can even aggro something every minute making it unable to kick them or finish dungeon. There are ppl who afk in CS. There are ppl who starts capturing mid despite being told not to and the rest of raid can just look at their collapsing run, there isn't enough time to kick such person during preparations for next round (it generates much salt because all that is left is insulting and hoping that this player will leave on his own).

I understand that it is probably designed to protect newbies, but ppl with wrong/bad gear are kicked at the beginning of dungeon anyways. Kicking mid-dungeon because someone's DPS is slow never happened to me and it's highly unlikely that whole party will agree on such vote, except for shield phases mentioned above.

    I don't actually mind the kick restriction anywhere else aside from Kumas. Maybe make it 60-90 seconds just for dungeons. In CS players that are intentionally hurting the team are almost always kicked at the start of the next round. In kumas someone usually throws the match in the first two minutes, says something along the lines of "LOL NOOBS HAHA" and then afks.

    The matches are very quick, so it's not a huge impact to anyone, but we should at least be able to collectively punish those players and prevent them from getting their exp/contribution points for BC/KS credits.

    the 2 min thing is a problem on low lvl dungeons aswell.. sometimes u start a dungeon, one guy rush to the mobs, the other stay afk... then u can't kick the afk for 2 min... and 2 min is a lot of time to wait doing nothing... is faster to keep doing the dungeon with 4 only than kick and accept someone else who might be waiting for a pt outside the dungeon...
    but making this time lower would be a problem aswell.... so i dont know how to solve that...
    actually, tbh.. reading what i just wrote 2 minutes doesnt sound like a huge problem lol.....
    and just something i want to say somewhere: STOP ACCEPTING KICK VOTES WITHOUT KNOWIN THE REASON.. if someone wants to kick someone u dont need to accept it without knowin the reason...

    For me it's just a problem with people offline or not in the dungeon. In those case insta kick should be possible.
