Well I joined a server two days ago and the EU was kicking the crap out of the PAC. So I joined the PAC as I like to join the underdogs. That's probably why I have more losses than wins.

So the first game I joined in was no good as they decimated our Titan. The next map to load was Suez Canal. So the server warning on top was no basecamping....no stats padding...etc.. usual warning.

Anyhow a guy called Poseidon_2403 or something similar, flying more than his fair share in a UD-6 Talon over the titans and not trying to capture any silos. He was firing at our Titan guns all the time, so when the Titans came within range I respawned on the Titan and used the AA guns on him and his mate. There was another guy on our Titan than was always repairing the Guns and never tried to kill them or defend at all.

After I killed him he initiated a kick vote and kicked me off the server. Why? I've no idea but this is unfair playing in my opinion.

Before me it seemed he initiated a few kick votes on guys that I can only assume killed him.

I'm still a relative noob but this is the first time I've come across this type of behaviour. I usually just jump to the first server that has a green light for Latency. I think now I'll be a little more cautious as it really did spoil my game.

Yeah I've had that too, it's so stupid...

Titan mode is all about stat paddin' .. That's why people still like conquest.

vote kicks are useless, nobody gets kicked by them

Yeah they do. If there are good players on, they'll check why the guy's getting kicked (TK, lots of time as CO but low score, vehicle camping) and vote yes or no accordingly...
