Getting kicked
I am a Justicar and was at one of the outposts, cant remember the name. A mob came rolling in and a popup said join party/group whatever. So I joined to fight them. Someone kept kicking me out. I kept joining and helping to fight.
This was a public group join. Then someone sent a tell "quit joining, we need damge dealers" WTF.
What is up with that? How can someone kick me?
Thanks all

Leader can kick. They screwed up and didn't set it to private. I've done that by mistake before.
Public groups still have a group leader, generally its the first person who showed up to the Rift or someone who had a group already and had it set to public when they entered the Rift area.
People are dicks in MMO's, nothing new.

That really sux. I didnt know a public group has a leader at Rifts and mob attacks. So, you cant set it to private after the battle starts or do you have to do it before the mob comes in?
You can set a group to public/private whenever you want.

think you can set it to private whenever you want...most people don't know how to though. Laziness
But why woudn't you want more people to join your Rift, is there some sort of reward for having more DPS somehow. (or more reward for closing a Rift as a single group vs a Raid?)
Interestingly enough, I ran into this the other night. I tried to join a Rift group but nothing would pop up letting me join. Guess it was set to private.
Makes me feel better, because after they started getting owned I just let them die cause I wasn't really part of the team. I could of have saved them with my mighty Purifiying flames, but hey, their loss. Found myself another raid.

I think I love that the most about Rift, you want to be an elitest ass, go ahead, ill watch you die. My 1st spec maybe ranger/marks, but my second spec is bard. i could easily join your group and heal/dps at the same time or i can just watch you fail. Thankfully i've only run into that once while playing rift.
Now my pet peeve is lvl 50s camping beginner rifts when there is more then enough beginners to take care of it, but i guess they might be bored.
They're not bored. They were most likely getting the otherworldy sourcestones from the event. Blame trion for giving the same event reward for all level rifts. It could also be a guild quest they need to complete. Once again, blame trion for making it viable to camp low level rifts.
The problem with any post-WoW mmo is that the crowd has now changed. We are mostly no longer playing with the same people that we once played with in EQ1, AC, AC2, pre-cu SWG, etc. Instead, we are mostly playing with the same elitist nerdrage induced players that were common in WoW.
Of course, it also doesn't help that most of these games promote soloing. Why waste your time looking for groups unless you really have to right? Even then, you can always have high lvl guild members just run you through group content right?
Basically, people don't want to group for the social aspects and traditional mmo fun anymore. They want to group in order to be able to complete objectives as fast as possible, so that they can steamroll their way to the top. It's a change I've become accustomed to in order to continue to get my mmo fix.
So what was the big deal? Just because I dont do as much damage as the othjer person, I cant have fun trying? Why does it hurt them?
Honestly? I wouldn't take it personally. This kind of behavior isn't indicative to any MMORPG on the market and isn't restricted to Rift (Or WoW before you chime in). Also, as someone already said, the user just didn't set the party to private, which is a mistake on his part.

I don't think it should matter.
don't give others power to piss you off. If they didn't want you in their group for whatever reason go find another group that does.
Heck, twice in the last 2 days I did some rifts and ended actually partying with a player in each instance to finish some quests of theirs or else just track down more rifts as a duo. People would sometimes join us then leave.
Life too short to really put any engergy into this stuff.

True, but it did hurt my feelings somewhat. Screw it. I will just move on. Thanks for all the responses!
Perhaps they wanted an idiots only group and you didn't qualify? Feel lucky!

Awesome thanks for explaining that. Now I'm going to purposely go looking for public groups to join in the hopes that I can severely annoy a jerk group like the one the OP encountered!
You should have kept on joining and sat back for the free group XP. Or when they kick you, you can run ahead and steal their kills. So many ways for payback.Yeah I've been noticing a few of these jerk groups lately.
The easy grouping is mostly nice, but the game does bring 'blind invites' to another level. I like this with rifts and invasions, but I don't like it so much if I am doing quests and someone randomly forms a group with me only to pull lots of mobs and get both of us killed (this happened to me the other day).
I do not want to set groups to private and I don't want to set myself to private, because when I am rifting, it's nice to group up.
I don't really know how to resolve the issue other than us players instilling a form of netiquette where while not rifting we ask if we can join. That's what I do in other games and what I would do in Rift. It is a bit rude to just butt in, but on the other hand Rift has done mainly away with the traditional way of making groups...
The higher levels camping low level rifts really sucks, especially when they don't invite you into their group. I noticed I still get currency but how can you compete at level 8 with people who all have mounts and are systematically going from rift to rift?
It is easily remedied though by making it so that you have to kill green rifts in order for them to count for quests, drops, and currencies. I think I read that in the new patchnotes that will be the case?
