In one little corner of the universe, there's nothing more irritating than a misfile...
(Please support the best webcomic about a cosmic universal realignment by impaired angelic interference resulting in identity crisis angst. Or I release the pigmy water thieves.)
So you would quit a game over one person'd request LOL Oh ok!
Me.. I would put them on ignore if they asked me to do something I didn't think needed to be done.... then again I am not prone to temper tantrums.
Letting another person's actions control your own.... yeah not for me.

Pretty much this above.
I just wish I could slot the KB-to-KD proc into Wormhole for my Gravity Controller

KB is largely misapplied and therefore largely misunderstood.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

That said.. I have 2 toons I will be utilizing the KB=KD proc on.

I tend to find it much easier to kill something when I can actually damage it, which is much easier to do when it's close to me.

You know KB can be used to push things TOWARDS melee toons right?|

In the 7 years I have played I think I have ran into people who don't know how to use KB effectively 2-3 times. I have no clue where you people play that KB is such a horrendous issue, but am thankful I am not on your teams. I have found most players who take powers with KB actually know how to use them.

I tend to be on teams where that tactic isn't needed (which I'd say is 90% of high-end teams).|

I play a Human Only PB that's tougher than most Melee toons. She wants to be right in there in the middle with all those Melee toons where she can leverage her most powerful attacks; not skirting the edges like a squishy. But her AoEs cannot be used right there in the thick of things because...
I'll let you guess.

Sure they can just hover over them and KB turns into KD, I do it on my PB all the time. In terms of Solar Flare you can use the toe tap so you can at least direct them. It's not a style that is desired or comfortable for all PB users but it is highly effective none the less.

I'm not denying all that can be done, but often (esp. on a high end team) you're not doing any of that for any strategic reason - you're doing it so as not to overly annoy the rest of the team. And for some PBs (raises hand) you do so you don't have to chase your own scattered spawns so much.

While Teaming in the High-End Game, learning to use KB Properly = learning how to only damage less that half the foes you could normally be damaging with your PBAoEs.
KB has *some* use for the low end game as a survival tool, esp. when soloing.
As for me, the -KB Proc is a Godsend!
My attitude towards KB lovers who also don't won't me to be able to stop my own KB is similar to Ron White's attitude towards Vegetarians.
Ron White: "If you're here to tonight and you're a vegetarian...Shut Up! I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat carrots."
