Is 'No kick' deliberate?

[simsimsheree]

I find it strange that, after ten years or so of online racing games, where every game (to my knowledge, at least all the main racing games) had a host kick option, both AC and PC2 move to a system where, in public rooms, there's pretty much no way for a host to supervise the players, and trolls and bashers are simply a fact of life.

Is this deliberate? Are PC2 and AC so focused on organized, private League racing that they chose to deliberately remove the one feature that allowed public rooms to compete?

I honestly can't think of any other reason for it. Can you?

Are you talking about console or pc? Because pc has it for admins but the fall back is that that if the admin isn't on the lobby there can only be vote kicks.

Just an oversight I'd assume. I'm gonna guess the devs have never played online on the console version .

Yes, I'm talking console. The largest segment of the player community. Basically take GT and Forza's numbers, everyone else added together don't even come close.

That both AC and PC2 decide that hosts cannot police a room flies in the face of over ten years of accepted practice. If the devs have never played online in a public room, perhaps they need to be chained to a console and forced to endure what they have forced their customers to do...
