I get why they haven't included a kick feature...
If that is the case, then maybe enlighten us?
Because the reasons given by Dice are stupid and demonstrably wrong, but maybe you could come up with a reason why this is a good thing?
The official reason given was 'it should promote PTFO' when in fact it does the opposite.
It's already been mentioned by others: kicking isn't inclusive.

if that seriously is the rational then oh my.
do you know what also isn’t inclusive?
The fact I don’t play because of every poor decision that’s been made to the detriment of this game.
i litterally don’t play 2042, because they’ve made this game not for “legacy” players, but instead to attempt to target a different generation. How is that inclusive?
Prior battlefields had a vibrant community of clans, many of which didn’t transition to 2042, because of the lack of team and clan management options.
how is that inclusive?
Oh man, this makes me mad.
I was primed ready to install again with the team management drop. But if they’ve not even managed to make that work I’m not even sure I’ll bother, sure I imagine it will allow me to switch teams. But why would I invest any time in this.
I met my clan because I was invited to join squads, we had maybe 10-12 people playing on a regular basis.
I would no in n a server, they would kick a random and I would join the squad. We’d chat on teams.
then when more people arrived, we’d self organise into different squads, even on different teams.
Without the kick option, this becomes too difficult and awkward to manage you are literally removing the ability for this activity to occur which is what brought me into the clan.
it’s crazy and yet another attack on the ability for teams, clans, friends etc to,ironically,” play-together”
argh this is infuriating.

I just learned that we (the customers) weren't even supposed to have this explanation from the community manager. Or at least not in this form. It was apparently something that was posted only to a private EA Creator network Discord. The person who misbehaved was "kicked" was from the program.
This seems like a serious case of cognotive dissonance. EA/DICE, rather than dismantle the entire program and re-invite all those who adhered to the NDA, you took a more efficient route and removed the one individual who didn't PTFO.
Do you now understand why the squad leader kick ability is needed?

Maybe the most appropriate analogy. Not sure if anyone at Dice will even get that one though. 😉 - 2 years ago
Its just another " oh, we didnt account 4 this community reponse" again!, EA/Dice didnt backedup for this promesing/account 4.
EA/Dice will just called it another "legacy future" as always..... no self awareness whatsoever !
- cso77772 years agoSeasoned Ace@FlibberMeister The game is not made for 10 year-olds. We don't get everything we want in life and nobody other than ourselves, thinks that we are anything special.
Dice probably thinks they can make a difference to human behaviour, but in reality, it will perhaps protect a few "fragile" persons and then just annoy the rest of the playerbase (probably the largest part of the players). - UP_Hawxxeye2 years agoLegend@FlibberMeister
You see, when the modern media say "inclusive" they generally mean two things.
Either to "include some extra people while actually excluding the traditional audience"
Or to "include extra audience outside niche of the game/movie/series because the usual audience is hooked and will never leave"
Both are as fallacious as they can be. But this is how management in modern media thinks. This is imho not the work of any developers but a mandate from higher up by people who just chase trends
