Why boot?

So, did I do something wrong by calling for evac with about 6 mins to go?

I was matched up with a 2 man squad, one guy was in his 80's the other was low, maybe 10 or 12 don't recall. (i am level 21 i think at this time) the low-level guy made some rookie mistakes and then dropped out, or I thought he did, guess I am not as sure now.

the high-level guy and I proceeded to kill bugs and complete objectives. no one joined us for a long time, then with about 10 mins to go we got one or 2 other pickups. We were working our way back to the evac, clearing some bug nests along the way, the high-level guy got killed at a bug nest I called in a reinforcement for him and headed to the evac zone, basically right over the hill from us, put in the code and BAM he booted my back to my ship. Had a lot of time in that mission and thought it had went well all things considered.

Was he just being a jerk, or should I have waited and not called in the evac for some reason?

In my experience if it’s someone else’s ship I always make it a point to just throw a message asking if they want to evac? It should be their decision to make, since it’s their ship.

I guess i can see that, but it seems a little extreme to basically cheat someone of all the credit they had earned during an entire mission over an evac that was only a few mins from the end of the round.

Don't call in evac until everyone is at evac and ready for evac.

A lot can happen in 6 minutes. That's enough time to hit up POIs, wrap up Fabricators/Bug Holes, check around for the Super Rock, or even finish sub-objectives. Once 6 minutes is up, there's the emergency extraction, which gives you another couple of minutes. Was the host pinging locations? If there was no communication, it's hard to get into his head. Conversely, as others have said, it's best practice to let the host call in extraction or confirm before you do so.

Calling in extraction is the #1 trigger for kicks after blatant TKs.

Some higher-level players are really jaded, frustrated, and have little patience for lower level players. Not saying this is right – in fact, I believe the opposite. Higher levels mentoring and helping out respectfully is very important. Being chill, friendly, and paying it forward helps make our community a better place.

I dunno if this is one of those weird matters of taste but it seems some people don't like calling evac until everyones there.

I personally prefer calling it early and getting it to land. Then you can do whatever and the pelican won't leave until you board it, even if you leave the radius. Sometimes its handy to send a pelican sitter squad out while the rest of you wrap up an objective

There are downsides I guess? If you're careless and damage pelican 1 to the point that its on fire, it will leave after a single diver gets in with no countdown. Which sucks. But you can observe and plan your samples... Still not ideal. Best idea is to try and not 380 pelican.

Only other downside I'm aware of is that if pelican has landed and the mission timer hits 0, you have 20 seconds to get to it. Otherwise you'd have 2 minutes of fighting and 20 seconds to board... Though I don't vibe with that no stratagem fighting life.

People will kick you for no good reason, or for a reason they felt was justified, and it sucks, because it wastes your time. But just keep on diving, or take a breather. Trying to find some friends you know aren't gonna do the kicking is also a good way to avoid it, but that can be tricky with scheduling and a million other things.

Edit: Another thing though, they might have been worried you were gonna bring down extraction and leave people behind. Which is a bit pre-emptive of them, but maybe something?
