Cause some people are jerks.

Really, there isn't much else reason other than just kick people out of spite.

If you really want to do some party runs, I would recommend either doing it with people who are understanding and willing to wait(I know I do, I love earning extra crowns just by doing some "gardening".) or make your own party and be a leader.(Or atleast, I don't think other members can kick a leader.)

Then again, maybe you are doing something they don't prefer. What you think is ok, they think is not.(Although, in my opinion kicking someone is a bit much. Unless of course they do things like constantly get all the health pills and other vials for themselves, rather than trying to spread it out to everyone else.) Or maybe they want to invite a friend/guild mate and needed to make room.

If you are kicked as soon as you join, it is because the party was left open by accident.
I know I have had it where I join a party to skip levels, go solo, and while I am loading, someone else has joined me. I have to kick them, then lock.

For the party leader abuse, the best way to minimize this is to party with people you have had good experiences and have subsequently added them as a friend, or be a party leader yourself. Some people do it for fun, like kicking before the gate so you don't get any heat, or to force you to pay for their elevator fee when they have no mist. There are no explanations for these, just stop randomly joining parties. I have not experienced this personally, but perhaps it's the type of runs I do. I only really do JK and FSC runs. Are you getting this kind of treatment during those?

Of course, if you are constantly being told to do things differently, such as "Don't kill that mob, as it will spawn the next wave and we need to deal with these ones now," or "hurry up," or "Please stop shield bumping that mob around to stop us from attacking it and moving on," or general frustration, take that as a cue to change your behaviour, at least for the duration of that party. This assumes you have been given a fair warning. For instance, you may need to skip those two lanterns for the first two gate exits in the arena if it really bugs the party leader and he lets you know.

One possible reason for loading up and finding yourself alone is that the party you joined consisted of one person who had just gone solo and didn't have time to lock the party before you joined. I kick people when this happens.

I've also noticed a guildie got kicked for not giving the leader 2K crowns when he asked for it,

1. Report player for extortion
2. He gets banned for conduct
3. He whines to forums about ban

ask them.

Statiicz and Kreuz nailed a lot of reasons right on the head. Also, your gear depending on where you are going can get you kicked from a group. For example if you are a pure Gunner and are on the way to JK you often will get kicked as you're not going to contribute anything in the boss battle. One reason I personally will kick you is if you Energy rev me when there's still party members up. Once gets you a warning, twice gets you a kick, I don't need you inflating my rev cost.

And I have kicked somebody in the middle of the JK battle. Before people start yelling at me here's why. He was at full health, decent from what I had seen up to that point... and wouldn't leave the dang corner. I don't care if you're inept, but fight. If you're going to cower in the corner and not do anything while the rest of the team wins the boss battle for you... uh uh, don't think so. No effort, no reward, you can solo him.

Peoples are just Envy of your qualities and they are just plain ignorant players.... i was invited back to my former guild during beta Team Dai Gurren and i started helping the dead guild get back on track and my friend Negimasonic made me officer and i started bringing 4 and 5 star active players to the guild and for No reason a officer that never was online for the hole month i was online in the guild he took my rank off and made me a recruit one of my friends that i made officer to help me out gave my rank back and a week later i GM came back online i ask him a cuples of time of the job i was doing and all the new active members i bring to the guild and everything i was doing to bring back its glory i even made a Guild facebook page thats no longer Active, gave it my characters name... and he told me he did not care what i was doing for the guild and he did not wanted to promote no body in the guild. and a day later another officer that never was online for the time i was in the guild Kick me out for no reason... Even Negimasonic was Sow happy for what i was doing for the Guild..... well Everything i did for the guild for what? for Nothing!

3 days later i was invited to join Echo of Silence by the GM him self and two day later i was kick out by a officer who was envy of me, he told me i was not his EOS (Echo of Silence) Material... Hello! im playing Sk since Beta! i help loads of guilds since beta and after, i have bean Loyal to the Game! i play every day and every chance i get! i love to help others out, i make friend every day i play plus im 5 stars in all my equipment i made it all my self with hard work not like others that buy them in the AH, im level 10 complete in all my equipment! Im Honorable, im friendly i love making new friend, i have fun in SK plus i help every body! i play SK Bomberman and PVP! HELLO!! if im not EOS Material he must be ON Crack the day he kick me out or something! because in my point of view he is not SK Material.

Yep, guy did nothing. Honestly I don't care how well you do as long as you try, you can be laying on the floor dead and if you tried then that's all I ask. No effort = no reward though.

@Crazywave
If you're currently guildless (which I doubt) you're welcome to join The Risen. Good players are always welcome. :) Quite recently we had somebody you named join... Negimasonic. And the Officers don't kick unless somebody is causing trouble. Which doesn't happen often thankfully, I do love the SK community. I end up booting more people at the end of a single activity check then I ever boot for causing issues.

These might be reasons why you are being kicked, and in no way am I saying you're a jerk or anything, but it gets on peoples nerves when:

-After some hard fight, you rush in and take all the treasure. Especially when you have Level 10 gear - Crowns and Mats are shared, Heat is not. So if you have maxed Level gear, hang back and snatch vials of worth.
-Rushing ahead of the group in any way. Especially if it activates a horde of enemies.
-Anti-team weapons. Basically, anything with a rediculous knockback. Do you know how annoying it is to have a Lumberer knocked right on top of you as it's striking?
-Dying alot.
-"Revive all"
- Pill munching. If you have 3 pills, don't eat one to pick up another. See if someone else needs one (Unless they're completely and utterly useless/a pill muncher themselves), or pull it along with you.
- AFKers. Whether in Death or Life, this is a big pain. If you have something important to do, gtfo SK.
- You have a proto gun in T2.... go away.
- And finally, the grudge. I've had loads of morons in teams, and I keep track of them. Ironically, I seem to find myself paired with them in alot of teams where I have no leadership. Then they try to sell someone a Lockbox for 10k and refuse to step on the party button when no one will buy. FFF-

Ok. I'm ranting. I'll shut up now :U

Do you say this from experience or some form of physical knowledge?

I'm not asking to be snide or because I was challanged, I've just never seen my heat go high when I stay away from the drops. But then again, it's hard to tell with heat meters and easy to tell with Crown numbers...

Eh....if they're equipped with other 2+* stuff, and they just use the gun for convience(obviously there are better guns, but hey, sometimes we're cheap and don't want to upgrade yet...), then I see nothing wrong with it. As long as they're useful, I have no problem. The way I see it, they're just starting out in T2.(Most of the time.) Now..if they have T2 access, yet using nothing but proto gear, than yeah....they better not die lol.(I know, it's jerky. But I don't want to have to keep reviving someone, cause they keep dying due to taking massive damage.)

I can see how revive all is annoying, and I try to avoid using it. I guess its similar how what you think is right, while others think is wrong. People often have good intentions, but sometimes those good intentions end up hurting more than helping.

Oh, that makes a lot more sense....

Yeah, not to mention people really need to learn to share the resources too...Pills, vials....kinda annoying when they just use a vial, just so they can pick up the other...and then they throw it randomly....

Not into any monsters. Not to any switches. Not even into any breakable blocks. Just throw it somewhere and waste it.(Kinda busted a vain, when one of members thrown a curse vial away during a Jelly King run...didn't kicked him, but did "yelled" at him....And yes, I may have over-reacted...but still...wasting is bad, don't do it. Especially when I"m around. =3)

Besides the "loading screen kicks". Not even because of having only guns.

As a party leader or member I like to think I'm generally tolerant--I would revive a learning player too, as long as they're trying.

I remember kicking someone from Jelly Palace who kept dying or seemingly lagging though... at least he was being honest why:
"Sorry, rugby world cup is on..."

I've also noticed a guildie got kicked for not giving the leader 2K crowns when he asked for it

Only consolation if the kicked person can solo well and has decent gear. It sucks to be a new player and be subjected to this crap though.

I use to be in a guild and heck the guild master would give me crowns once in a while for no reason so i didnt really care that he invited everyone he saw. however when i partied with him he would always die over and over when the whole party died due to health lost reviving him he kicked one of my friends so he could invite some random person. after the player revived him he kicked the player . == so i left the guild what kind of person does that.

I only kick if my guild members (new much better guild) wants the spot as i know they are quite good players that i enjoy playing with especially when its a royal jelly run which we all love, however if I go solo and someone joins I just lock the party and go solo again myself as its not really their fault XD...

I've been kicked before, playing on one of those maps with several keys and locked rooms containing gremlins. Some guy ran off with the key and went to open the treasure room first, thereby preventing us from killing the locked in gremlins. Party leader asks who. Noone replies. At the elevator he proceeds to kick the whole party. In retrospect I should've spoken up, but at the time I didn't see why I had to prove my innocence over a trivial matter such as that.

Of course, even though I'm still a little pissed about that, there really isn't anything I can do about it. All we can do is to play with friends, or be prepared to be kicked whenever playing with strangers.

No, if you energy revive, that 30% of the heat is lost. No one takes it, it just vanishes.

Kally I can prove that heat is shared just invite me to a run and I'll stay back and not collect any heat and then at the end I'll die to show you how much heat I have even though I have not collected any heat the entire depth

I have kicked people for many of the reasons listed above. I have been kicked for many of the reasons listed above. Only way to avoid being kicked is to be the leader.

Most annoying time I got kicked, my wife and I were playing with a third random person, guy 3. Guy 3 was leader. We just finished clearing the third arena room and I was passing my heat to my wife when both of us got kicked. No warning, nothing. We both lost all of our heat.

The worst part about getting kicked is losing all the heat you've accumulated for that level. As for tokens, if a material is on the ground when you get kicked, it remains on the ground after you are kicked. Therefore the token should still be available.

If you're going to kick someone, at least warn them.

I normally kick people who die a lot. It is rather annoying when you do a Vana run and some random guy dies every 2 seconds from something stupid like running onto spikes. Sure I love taking peoples heat, but eventually you start sucking up my health. I have kicked people in the middle of Vanaduke just because I couldn't stand how stupid they were. Mean? Yes.

Sometimes they kick you when a friend they were going to inivite somone.

once, i accidently joined t1 in a jk gate, forgot 2 click t2 *facepalm*
anyway, i decided to continue on, no point in wasting my 10CE by going back 2 haven.
i, being in 5* gear, kill most of the monsters faster than others, who r in proto/1 star gear
the guys yell: hey, stop killing all the monsters, leave some fun 2 us!
so i kinda stay at the back, trying not 2 decimate the monsters. :D
eventually, every1 dies, and they yell at me for not participating enuf.........
im like: -_-, but being nice, i finish off monsters and rev every1.
at the end of the lvl, the party leader calls me a jerk and kicks me.........lol

another 1 :D

was in a snarby run, last 1 2 get my snarble barb.
was in a group of randoms, they were ok fighters, not the best, but the cud hold thier own.
there was this 1 guy in proto gear, who kept dying, but he also kept bragging about how gr8 he was lol.
when we got to snarby boss, i told him 2 plz stop bragging.......
he told me i was a loser, and "punished" me by going solo, saying, ha! u will lose without my help!
other guys were scared bc they didnt know how 2 fight them, was their first time lol.
i told em 2 sit in the corner, bc they were nice, and tried their best, and i cud solo snarby easily.
they agreed and we won easily, while they learned how 2 take him down by watching me :)
win-win, i had no interference, and they learned how 2 beat him :)

a few mins after going back 2 haven, the guy who was bragging and left /whisper me saying "i hate u, u left me alone at the boss and i died.......

sigh........ unless it becomes an extreme problem, i dont care if ppl r bad, as long as they do their best, and be sensible.

if they can only kill, say 1 wolver b4 dying, and i can kill say 10 wolvers, i wont rly be inclined 2 rev him, bc i can do more with that health lol :P

Some time ago, a friend and I joined another friend at terminal in the Vana gate. The party leader happened to be some random person. We went down and cleared d24 as usual, but this random was dying quite a bit. He was bragging about how good he was too (is this a common trait among kick-abusers?). Anyway, I shrugged it off and continued down to Charred Court with the rest of the party.

After we got on the button, the guy called the entire "left" side and ran right (he didn't get his directions correct until several tries later). The rest of us went left and cleared out two rooms before he could finish his first. Of course, he ended up dead in the fiery jump rope room (which is relatively easy) and we got to go save him. We returned to the middle with the sprite and started taking out the zombies that had spawned.

My friends and I quickly took out two and finished off the third one that he had started attacking. It dropped a health capsule that my friend just happened to grab, and he called her out on taking "his" health capsule. My other friend and I defended her on it since we all helped to take it out, and the friend who picked up the health capsule and had been running with this person to terminal said the guy had already filled up on capsules earlier in the run before we got in. This meant that he had already used up all of them earlier in the run since I saw him pick up a few health capsules on the previous level. He didn't deny this but continued to nag about the capsule as he followed us back to where we left off (to go save him) with our side.

Being fed up with him (he was already quite annoying prior to the whole health capsule thing), my other friend asked, "What are you? Twelve?" to which he responded with a "no." Suddenly, my friend who questioned his age disappeared. Then my friend who had picked up the capsule. Finally, I was booted to my own instance of Charred Court.

We regrouped in my instance and said our grievances about the guy. It didn't really bother me much though (aside from the fact that people like him exist), as I took some form of twisted pleasure in knowing that he wasn't going to get very far without us.

The only story I have about kicking strangely doesn't involve anyone being kicked.

I had set up a pug jelly run in Moorcroft, and we had had that little hiccup where if someone joins the *instant* everyone gets into the elevator, everyone has to wait for the new guy to load before descending. Needles to say, the 4th guy was dragged down with us. When everything loaded, he raged a bit, called us noobs for forcing him along and wasting 10ce, then left, I presume, to Haven.

Take note, this guy was decked out in 5* gear, and this being a t2 pug, those kind of guys are hard to come by and are rather valuable, no matter their disposition.

Shortly after 5* guy left, one on the remaining guys starts badmouthing me and daring me to kick him. Since he's only talking crap and not playing like crap, I just blow it off. It's only an issue if you slow down the team after all.

About 4 levels in, he says something along the lines of "You kick people that are better than you cuz you jelly and fail." Then it clicked. This guy thought I had kicked the 5* guy for talking trash. I told him something like "Oh, you think I kicked that guy. I didn't. He left. This explains why you've been so hostile."

He didn't say another word for the rest of the run. I think he was kinda embarrassed.

Other reasons people kick is usually greed as well. I've had experience of the leader kicking everyone at the beginning of a treasure vault floor and when a rare monster made an appearance.

Another time though was because the leader said I was killing too fast and picking up all the loot lol. Probably wasn't aware of the loot share system.

I never go with a party into FSC, reason why is because I was kicked from a party once because I couldnt destroy the spike wheel things at the first battle room of Blackstone Bridge, and another time I was with a party at Vanaduke, and before we started the battle the party leader gave about a 5 minute lecture to everyone on what to do with the zombies, what weapons to use, dont run here, ALWAYS have him frozen with the shivermist, etc. thankfully I didn't get kicked. So I never go into FSC with a party unless I'm playing with my friend.
