Vote to kick option for boss hunt would be great!
Title explains it
Forum Discussion
You can go ahead and carry all the people you want. I personally am tired of it. The option is there in Garden ops so I feel it should be in boss hunt too. Your point on everybody deserving the hats is valid but i think you shouldn’t have them by being carried rather earning them yourself. And I just want you to understand that it’s an OPTION so just like in Garden ops it would take 2 votes to kick someone and that’s seems fair to me.

I know its an option but unlike Garden Ops which you can reset anytime, any day, boss hunt is available for a very limited time. (Only ~20 days per year.) This means people are more likely to fight until they get what they want. People are under more pressure to succeed and will be more likely to kick people to do so.
But lets put aside what ifs about people's use of a kick option. There is one other problem, boss hunt cuts off new players after the protection waves. In other words, you need to decide who is valuable by the time the boss appears or you simply lose a player rather than kick them for something better. This means players have to make a decision quickly, again, suggesting kicking based solely on class choice. (Or undesirable performance in defending.) To the contrary, Garden Ops populated all the way to the escape phase meaning kicked players can be replaced. Boss Hunt results in kicks being predominantly a disadvantage. (Hard to imagine a player that is worse than not being there, boss health doesn't change with difficulty only damage and minions.) At that point the run is already doomed since the kicked player won't be replaced. (Again, assuming they aren't kicked right away, which is the situation I worry about.)
- You’re only allowed to vote to kick in a pre-game lobby not mid game in ops. After playing a game with them and realizing they are no help then you get yo vote to kick them before the next game starts. That’s what I’m suggesting.
I dunno. On the rare occasion when I do a boss hunt with randoms and the team obviously cannot go the distance, I just leave and find another lobby. There's no point in finishing out a hopeless match.

(I've have done OPs like 10 times total in GW2 almost exclusively solo on craaazy for challenges.) Anyway, if it gets to that point I would already be gone. Once a round fails I'm off to a new lobby. I doubt kicking one or two people is going to make the next run any more successful. If it is easy then 1-2 people should be able to make a large dent in the boss. If that is the case it will be obvious who is the helpful one, if a large dent or victory doesn't happen, chances are the whole team needs to go. Hard or Craaazy requires a skilled team, if the current team can't manage hard then it is likely picking just one person as the weak link will be difficult.
Now that I understand what is being asked for, sure go for it. Like I said, I won't ever need it because I will have left before the next round starts.
