Exactally why I posted this
Naah, i think real reasons are good , but sometimes i cant ask if they can leave (when i am killing big mobs in deli with my twink) so i boot em saying sorry but most time i host with passwords
I am sorry but this is one of the reasons I made this. If you have enough time to boot u have enough time to say leave.
I do agree that a good reason should be given. The only two reasons I will boot is because I already have a full group and you joined before they all got in, or for really, really bad play/talk.
However, I think it goes both ways though. People take getting booted personally. I once got a message back after booting someone for "got a group. sorry" that said "Ever hear of asking?? Now I'm going to ignore you and my 56 bear is too."
I mean who cares?? If you are getting booted on a regular, host a game. Others will join in. Then you hopefully end up with a good group.
On the flip side, the worst boot I got was in a group of level 53+. I joined in to complete the group. 25% of the way through I got booted for "nah nah na na, hey hey hey, goodbye". HAHAHA!! I hadn't died and was leading the charge with my level 55 bird. I laughed, said oh well, and moved on.
I will run with any level group as long as they play well. And usually, if it's my friends playing and one low level comes, I let them stay. If they play bad, I will give advice. If they don't listen and keep messing us up, I'll boot at that point.
OMG, I think someone did used to boot regularly with that. Don't remember who anymore. Didn't remember till you wrote that. LOL.
Star light, star bright...
HAHA!! This was just a couple of weeks ago too. I wish I knew the name now.

The group I've been running with generally doesn't boot anybody. Reasons we might: We are bringing in a higher level bird (reason = sorry), you have been bailing at the boss (I can't stand boss bailers, we make sure the group knows we kill bosses). Last but not least: I am going to start booting Paladins that do not heal/buff/debuff. We will roll with int birds and dex bears no problem, but a paladin that does not debuff is no use to us. They do little to no damage, and the spot would be better off filled by a ranged char even at a lower level.
I will never boot anybody at the boss that has rolled with me the entire map. That is just rude, in my opinion.

Only idiots boot "too low" instantly.
I'm a firm believer in PLAYER SKILL no matter what game. Sadly I tend to get booted even though in my experience I'm more efficient, survive better and INCREASE productivity if the party rather than bog it down (i.e. Bears/mages that split up mobs, birds that wander off and die then scream for a rez) there are plenty of high levels that boggle the mind with their lack of thought when playing.
Do yourself a favor, atleast wait and see if the person is any good before you judge =.=

"Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience."
I agree... in most cases. Even hardly, one or more 48 can complete Hideout (I did it with a 48-49 team); but at Catacombs, they can't. It is simple mathematics, the max armor you can wear below 50 isn't enough to survive to the average hits by mobs.
Again, a 55+ team can make quick runs on Sewers; such a team can accept one or two 53-54 players without sacrificing the speed, but not one-two 48 - the run becomes slower.
I agree as well that's why I say don't boot the instant. Someone arrives...or in the case of a friend of mine if someone is powerleveling one should not boot instantly but I think should ask the people to leave...just makes it harder for people to try and get angry and curse u out
i got booted all the time at lvl 48, 49 for too low of a lvl, then at 50 and 51 i got booted for every thing from not good enough equip, to numbers look horrible, to bears suck...
then at lvl 52, 53 and now 54 i dont really get booted except for full teams asking me to leave or booting me saying they full team.
imo - i dont ever boot... i have had some great runs with 48s and 49s and even explaining how to run thru a series with them, or how to kill a boss.
i would much perfer if ever one "team" based type of run use the locked out/need a password type game.
While I understand for things at 50+ may be more gear dependant and complicated (as would be expected)
I was talking more about my jumping into boss levels/mini dungeons and getting booted by random people that say 42 is too low for Alien oasis II lol. If you need 50s for that...you are truly terribad.
I also agree that if you are boot happy, just make a locked game geez. Its not that hard.
