If you take someone in your group and he joined at the beginning when no1 else was aplying, you didnt even had 2 suports, prokel killer or whatever and you make him waste 20-30 mins of his time and then kick him at the last second cuz a better geared player request to enter when party is full then you are an ass****, doesnt matter if this is a game or not, but keep lying to yourself.

The design flaw is having players endlessly clearing content that is no longer of value to them outside of just grinding out gold because it creates these exact problems where people want fast runs (since you have so many old runs to do every week) and the player pool is stretched from a brand new player who just Express Passed to 1470 and a Founders starter who’s 1520+.
In a healthy progression game these two groups would have some degree of separation between them to provide content for all players.
In Lost Ark you are correct, your reward is that you can clear the same dungeon you’ve cleared 250 times already a bit faster now and if you wanted you will likely get into juicer groups.
Decency exists, but people are tired and burnt out of re-running these legion raids now for almost a year, so patience and acceptance is going down the drain.
You’ve been on the forums everyday since launch saying the same phrase on every single post you comment on.
We get it bro, you’re playing it cool being the guy who pretends not to care.
True, it’s a moot point really when there are no protections for the player against this behavior. In real life, for example, we have unlawful termination laws in the workforce to protect employees from being unfairly fired or discriminated against just because the employer found someone “better” later.
But on the other hand, in Lost Ark, if the developers introduced some system to try and protect the unfairly kicked players, it could be abused (e.g. bonus rewards to kicked player) or circumnavigated (e.g. kick shield → other members disband and create new group without the targeted player). It’s really a tough dilemma!

I agree people should be free to pick the people they play with. But thats not the core of the issue here, its not the picking, its the replacing after time used. Itd be the equivalent of (lets use your example) if that sports team had a finalized team, had their team handle their flights/time/plans/travel expense/etc, and then told them after using that time, that they would not be playing. Theres a difference between picking and wasting someone else’s time.
If you are such a great host then create your own party and stop complaining
My problem is the game already demands alot of your time to a point you cant even clear everything. Then you add to that people with no honor or integrity with there fatherless behaviour wasting some more time. personally if someone gets kicked in my lobby i leave too especially with my 1540 main and support alts.

Bruh start thinking, the IDEA IS that it is the SAME mentality, that is all.
No you are out of touch, I’m sorry but if someone who could do your job better get accepted over you…… tough that literally life.
If you personally want to settle for less we can beg to differ . But you aren’t when you are calling one side “ toxic”

Sure the action in itself is somewhat “vile”, but it’s a game, move on and find another group. And please don’t come and say that “you lost your precious time” since you’re already losing your time by playing a game. This applies in IRL too, there’s always someone better than you and you can get replaced at any time. Keep that in mind and do what you will of this advice.
Some people here should really grow up outside because it’s not a video game that will grow you up…
Gatekeeping is questionnable, this topic is not.
But eventually you had a bad experience IRL and you do the same in game.
Or eventually you live in United states where some states can fire an employee at will, it doesn’t mean that’s a good and ethical thing to do ^^
Don’t lie to us : You accept anyone in the party in order to fill it the fastest possible to have more visibility and spread the message “we are going to start very soon”.
Then you use the time of other people just for your own benefit (getting “stronger” players).
But the fact is : You don’t play alone, you play with other human beings where TIME also matter.
But yeah, nothing will punish you (I guess), so keep playing in your closed bedroom.
Well the value is fun and mats. If you don’t have fun anymore just don’t do it. If somebody kicks some guy because somebody else applied with better stats that’s not the game forcing them to do it I think that’s nonsense. That’s just the guy being a dickhead. 50 extra spec or crit or whatever won’t make any difference.
So are you saying only children are smart enough to realize video games arent that important and are not something you should worry about? You arent making much sense, lol.
Also, if dont care if i get kicked from a group because it doesnt matter.
you clearly belong at the lost ark community… I once took too many dps and forgot a slot for a supp… I said in lobby that I rather quit the group than kick someone… they said it was good… so I gave them sup… coz yeah… you have also the toxic rally lead asking if it’s ok to go without sup and keep the only one support with him…
That’s also another good reason for quit the game… lost ark has such a toxic community… so many ego issue just for a video game… it’s insane ! ppl don’t play for fun… they work !
Typical no thought behavior. Just resort to immature name calling because you cannot do anything else.
dude just be quiet . You think wasting other people time is a ok thing to do , just be quiet.
you guys need to stop talking to the “it’s a video game” guy he just wants attention
being “generous” at the cost of others is just non-sense
hope he get scammed in every game he play coz it’s just some waste of time for him anyway
peace

Its a video game, you are obviously wasting time. 
When we start Valtan, Vykas, Clown or even Brel groups we keep 1–3 slots for people that would be gatekeeped. We are all high enough to fckn solo this shit (up to clown), so no need to gate keep people. And know what? Mostly this lower GS players are better in doing mechanics than high GS players (yeh some are really bad but it’s ok). All I see here is “gatekeep is ok cuz we want it fast” and it means to me „we gate keep because we are also bad and need as much GS as possible to be able to kill this without wipe“.
