I'm sure there'll have been threads made about this before, though couldn't find any. But this still seems to be a big issue ruining an otherwise great game (this is on PS4 version).
Examples:
- In one match on Prison, every time someone died, one player would vote to kick, though thankfully others in the match weren't impressed, and of course this player themself died. The player's dying weren't level 2 on a hard difficulty or doing anything distasteful, just standard players who knew what they were doing but died in the midst of a wave.
- You'll be vote kicked sometimes if you don't follow or do as one player wants, because of course it's a dictatorship. (I don't mean due to ignoring a protect the area, which in itself shouldn't matter, or running off from the group and dying repeatedly, but just when someone wants to be the boss).
- You'll enter a game and for no reason be kicked (again not for trying to play as a level 0 on suicidal or anything silly, more just people trying to hog a public server they haven't paid for).
- One game I was playing by myself on Nightmare and eventually got joined by others. Was the last player standing on wave 4/4 suicidal and defeated 100+ enemies, all the while healing others in prior rounds and the only one thanking the field medic when they healed me. Before the boss, I gave away several thousand dosh to the players and then, got kicked haha unbelievable. Makes it worse that toxic players treat servers that aren't there's as their own.
- The only time I've been perhaps fairly kicked was when I picked up a fallen players weapon (I throw them back at the player but they probably thought I was stealing it).
I've noticed it's a bit like the milgram experiment, where players won't actually participate in a kick vote because they have reason or know why the one starting the vote started it. They'll do it simply because the option to do so has popped up on their screen and they can do something spiteful with no reprisal.
It's difficult to manage people's free will in a game where there's no team killing. And systems by Tripwire can't really be put in place to stop trolling behaviours outside of that, i.e taking and selling others dropped weapons. But this happens a lot, and as such some system should be put in place to monitor this.
Perhaps a small multi choice box with valid reasons to kick someone the voters could select after someone is kicked. And whether a player abused it could be seen as match footage would show if the kicked player committed any of those trolling behaviours. If abusing the voting system then someone's vote privilege could be removed for a while.
Would be interesting to hear if other players have found they've been kicked for no reason and what their thoughts are on it.
