Why are people kicking me?

[BlakLite]

I just kicked from two different lobbies in a row with no explanation. I'm a new player, at only level 41. The lobbies were on Normal, so it's not like I was joining a heist above my skill level. I also tried to pick the same armor as the other players, so I wouldn't attempt stealth on a loud heist or vice versa. I'm not using any mods or modifiers, so I can't imagine that I'm being auto-kicked for cheating.

The first time, the game said that the host kicked and banned me. The second time, I was in the lobby for a couple of minutes before I got kicked, so I suspect that the host manually kicked me.

What other reasons could I get kicked? Do people sometimes kick players for their choice of mask?

This community is highly toxic, so getting kicked and banned for bullsh*t reasons is common.

That's unfortunate. I read somewhere else that this game's community was pretty chill. I guess that's not the case.

Some people only want to play with friends, and don't realise Friends-Only lobbies exist.

It can be chill, but the majority is not.
It used to be way more chill back when death wish was the highest difficulty. I've seen a steady decline in the number of friendly encounters in the past few years

Idk what he's on about, almost 100 hours on pc and 200 hours on console and I can't even remember the last time someone was toxic. Your best bet to avoid getting kicked is to host yourself and wait for others to join

Well there are pretty toxic players... not long ago i got instatnly kicked because i accidetnlly shot a cop about to be converted in a dw lobby and lower levels players get kicked just because they are newer to the game but on lower difficulties its mostly because people forgett/ dont know how to host firends only/private lobbys

It's the one downers.
Anything below DS you're probably never going to run into them, on DS it's like Roulette. Second you see one of them in your lobby there is a 75% chance they will be a pure breed ♥♥♥♥♥.

They'll critique your build, They'll critique your aim, They'll critique your game sense, They'll call you slurs and insults, They'll try to kick you from the lobby, if they are the host they usually will kick you from the lobby.

All that entitlement and it stems from an ugly ass mask for what is honestly not even the hardest modifier.

It doesn't even matter if what you're doing is working, doesn't even matter if you're pulling more weight than them. If you aren't playing the game the way the Meta thinks you should play it, you're basically sub-human to them.

Welcome to PD2. People in this game are fickle and entitled, it's probably a smarter idea to just Host yourself.

On normal difficulty it was most likely someone trying to play with their friends and not being smart enough to set their lobby to friends only.

We've all been there a few different times. A lot of times they Ban you from their lobbies because they don't want you rejoining.

It's also a waste of time to make a PSA over here telling people to set their lobbies to friends only if they don't want to play with Randoms.

Another VERY common one is they're doing it on Stealth but didn't have it set to Stealth. So, you join in full loud get-up and either awkwardly stop once you realize what's going on or don't realize right away and break their whole run.

In this situation it's not your fault. You can set the icon for a heist to Stealth, Loud and Any it's just a lot of the player-base never does.

Most lobbies are loud and "Any" is a worthless option because most of the time it's not Any.

People really don't need to know what kinks you have. Keep it to yourself, be proud of it on your own.

Did it occur to you that maybe their username doesn't actually have anything to do with their kinks and they just picked it because it sounds funny?

Exactly! Thank you!
It's supposed to be a play (albeit one that tends to fly over a lot of people's heads I've noticed) on boykisser. But for some reason, certain people find seeing my name an uncomfortable enough experience that they need to speak up against me in some weird fit of virtue signalling.
Anyways, I hope you have a good time on Payday 2. It's a pretty fun, timeless experience.

nah, your name is not at all strange to me, I have been using the internet for 27 years and I have seen everything to not care if you are a futalover or whatever that means, they are your tastes and I respect them

The game is good, the community is 50% disaster and the other 50% friendly

I'm stuck with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ people always, man. Earlier today, someone got a bit too annoyed at me for accidentally downing them with my RPG, they started using some scripts to crash my game. Anti-Crash mod saved me, but he also attempted using the stupid "Kill a teammate" mod to give himself some level of satisfaction. I hope Scrambled onions thanks me for indirectly being a magnet for the worst part of the community so his games are the least toxic as possible. 🧅

If you want to deal with them, use their own tricks against them.

Then I am no better than them. I need my dignity intact.
