Make a /votekick system for scammers

Hi, I'm a dungeon runner and I get paid to do runs. What really pisses me off is scammers. Nothing is really done about them besides a /report scam feature which really doesn't do anything right away and people still get the benefits of the run w/o paying. I believe they should make a /votekick (player name) system which drops the leecher/scammer if 4 or more teammates /votekick that person. This would solve most of the scamming issues and discourage scammers in the future. The /votekick system should have no penalty but acts like a /resign function where the player see "return to outpost" button after getting votekicked off. Most of the scams happens during runs where getting paid is not guarenteed as opposed to trading. The /votekick feature could also be beneficial to PUGs who have complete morons that purposely make groups fail.

Too much potential for abuse.

For example, just finished an Underworld Clear and you get an Eternal Sword. As soon as it drops from the chest, everyone on the team kicks you, so that one of them can get it.

As for doing runs and not getting paid, that's part of the risk you assume when you decide to make money by doing runs.

My Exact view.

I think the /report is messed up anyway.

My 10 Pence:

At the end of the day, if you are sold an item that isn't what it says it is and the guy immediately ignores you and goes to a new district, you can't do anything about it. The whole "district" part of the /report should be changed, I don't know how but it needs to be fixed. For Example, I was buying an Inscribable Stormbow and he said that it was inscribable. From what I could see it was inscribable, I do a normal trade and try put an inscription on, "Sorry this item can not be inscribed". I go to whisper him and it says "PlayerName is ignoring you..." so I go to report.

By that time he has left the district and is going to scam another person. I managed to get my money back with the help of a Guildie. I got the guildie to whisper the scammer saying he wanted to buy something and that they would meet in AD6. I also went to AD6 and reported him for being a scammer, and then in All Chat said that I reported him, and so did my Guildie. The scammer apologised and gave me my money back in return for the Stormbow, but then I heard in Kamadan that he had scammed another person.

If there was a change to the /report I would be very happy.

A kick feature would promote scamming. Nuff said.

Feature<Abuse
It probably will get backfired on you, if he convinces others to kick you then you end up without a party. There should be a feature like this, but I cannot think of any points that would make it so it hurts only the scammer, wich, IMO, you are taking a risk, as earlier posters said. The Storm Bow was your fault, you should've checked it over first.

In all, /unsigned

/notsigned.
For reasons stated.
I would be happier if they just get rid of /report all together.
Gets abused too much and anet caters to the whiners to damn much.
A guildie got a 3 day ban which should not have happened.
He stuck up for someone that was being attacked by this idiot and his wife and HE got the ban.
