WOC Boot Drop Ins?

Would be cool to get a vote system to kick a crappy drop in on clubs in WOC. Had a defenseman that refused to play defense and would only skate the puck into the zone by himself all game in 3s. Would...

Hey, everyone. I'm in agreement with you all. I know how frustrating these players can be and I wish we had a system for kicking them. I assure you, I'll pass this feedback on to the team. They are aware of these requests already. It would require building a new system to add this feature. It's not a quick and simple thing to do. So, if it were to happen, it wouldn't be with 26.

I'm curious though. Would you all think this should have a higher priority than updating other issues the community is asking for? Better gameplay, presentation, adding new modes, etc. The reality is that if the priority on adding this changed, it means something else would be delayed. Just something to keep in mind.

I would say that adding a kick option for team captains is less ambiguous than "gameplay" updates and more targeted. So, in terms of prioritization, I'd say yes because there's an obvious fix to this issue whereas general gameplay and presentation updates are mired in varying opinions, discussion and the feedback will never end.

As MostlyHubris has correctly pointed out - this (adding a kick option for team captains) would begin a shift in the mentality for many drop-in players to become a better teammate and provide less incentive for being a troll. Because right now, being a troll and having every game centered around your behaviour gets you the same XP regardless, and that needs to change or the poor behaviour will continue to ruin the experience for your most dedicated customers.
