General Discussion / Re: On the subject of vote kick...

The lack of vote kick is a mistake, the exclusivity argument is a myth.
-> If anybody has ever wanted to enjoy any game and couldn't because nobody would play with them, I'd love to have a chat, please. Change my mind. <-
People that don't want to play with pugs solve that problem by not playing with pugs, the low player base combined with poorly performing AI greatly disincentivizes random kicks, an unskilled player who listens being better than any available alternatives. On the other hand it takes one player to ruin a match and a lobby. The lack of any recourse over trolls is a significant reason I don't play. I would rather play with pugs, I would rather teach people to play.
Seriously MUSE, listen, I'm a gamer, 40,000 hours+ a low estimate. I'm a clever rookie at dozens of games most people haven't heard of. I love your game, I'm at, I dunno 1100 hours or something, it's brilliantly put together. And I want to play with pugs, crewing up with a bunch of vets and stomping people isnt fun. You have consciously chosen to put control over the course of a lobby/match into the hands of any irate troll who comes along as opposed to the people who are playing and care about your game. I dealt with it for 1100 hours, yelled, cursed, fought (also taught dozens of people how to play), reported, ignored.
I'd say roughly 50% of the matches theres a troll on my team (not fun) or a troll on the other team (also not fun). My last few attempts at GoI look like "Hey dude welcome, please accept the loadout" "Please accept the loadout" "We cant play if you don't take the loadout" "No 2 gunners won't work, those arent the even right ammo types for this gun, please just take it" "Alright, good luck, peace" Make a tutorial guys, as cheap as it is to force us to do the teaching for free.
Your suggested solution is to relocate, I gotta be honest, it's hard not to.
