When it comes to booting people in games, many players abuse this tool. Now I ask for your opinion... when does booting become inappropriate, or cross the line?
Some of the things:
Booting only weaker powerlevelers in Mynas 3: is that okay? What is the reason or defense behind this? Is it to save spots for higher powerlevelers? But i mean if you do that no one will ever get there, right?
Non 45s booting on Mynas: Oftentimes I will join a Mynas 3 game to level my bear fast and get booted by someone that's a level 30. That really makes me angry, as its sort of a noob wants 45s only in his party and too much greed.
InstaBooting: People now seem to have no patience. They just boot right even before your game loads, rendering you unable to even share your side of the story.
RageBooting: Sometimes I will be leveling on Fathom Crypt, when the whole party dies (Dead Eyes) and the host just boots everyone. I asked one host about this, and he replied, "theres no room for an enchantress who doesn't heal or revive." this was in ao2, and personally I saw all the enchantresses healing and reviving, and one host dying because his bird couldn't evade.
RandomBooting: People just randomly booting for power.
FriendsPartyBooting: oftentimes you are very qualified, but you get booted because you are not one of their party doing runs, or just aren't known.
SoloBooting: People boot oftentimes because they want to solo. They could have set up a password. Also, soloing only gets you a higher kill count, not a better chance for pinks.
There are many more situations. Now, I ask you forum viewers, what's your stance? Is booting okay? What is considered too far? What is totally cool? and where should this lead from now on?
Please feel free to share all opinions and add input. Please feel very restricted from flaming. This is my entry to discussion. This is not a rant.
