Spoilers, I’m talking about vote to kick. The First Descendant players have long been yearning for this feature ever since the game launched, poisoned by AFKers and trolls, although the demands have gone nowhere since. There’s no doubt that vote-kicks stir up controversy in most gaming spheres.
especially so, it seems. There are a two different schools of thought here, both touching on similar points but approached from different angles. There are those who want outright vote-kicks to be implemented and there are the others who would like to see AFK checks at the very least, without as much of a hard vote-kick.
Vote-kicking is an extremely toxic feature purely thanks to the bad intentions of the various different players you will encounter. It’s not simply a tool used to remove trolls and AFKs, but also a weapon for trolls to use against folks out there just trying to have fun. For that very reason, parts of the TFD community are pretty hesitant to encourage it.
A little anecdote from myself. The last ‘MMO’ that I properly played was the original Destiny. I was fourteen and often played with my school friends and then each of us would invite in other mutual friends.
One time I was kicked mid-raid from a group of near-total strangers – for absolutely no reason. I don’t think I played Destiny again after that. Ever.
It didn’t ju.
