So what you’re saying is, wow needs cat detection. Seems reasonable enough. 
And giving power to kick players has shown why this doesn’t work.
“I’m new at tanking”- kicked
“Can you explain this boss?”-kicked
This player has low dps-kicked
It’s group decision to vote kick doesn’t even make the difference cause most just hit the kick button without looking.
And all this wouldn’t be such an issue if no matter what you get 30mins of waiting. You could be up to the last boss, and for whatever reasons that they just want to remove you, you now are out for a 30min debuff.
The time frame needs a improvement, so even if you are forced into a group of toxic people you are not the one being punished.

Id say your cat was wrong and shouldn’t be in the room during game time. Or not have the power button in a place the cat will hit?
There are many fixes for this and they are all from your end.

Sorry I’m not a programmer what exactly is the string of code that differentiates whether it was a player or their cat that left the game?
wait
are there right deserter buffs?
Any content you can give someone deserter is like 5min dungeons afaik.
The system is as broke as the devs and shoe lickers.
Sorry to tell you, but you were rightfully kicked.
How is anyone in your group supposed to know you’re coming back? Moreover, why would anyone bother waiting when you can be instantly replaced?
Unfortunate, but not wrong.

And how is blizzard supposed to know the difference between your computer losing power and you purposely disconnecting?
Go to sleep and queue up again the next day.
This is one of those situations where the cat rockets into the PC. My friend’s did the same thing to his power switch.

We are talking qued content here. Not high end dungeons and raids. Who cares if someone leaves mid group. The whole idea of getting a leave dungeon debuff is just crazy. People pay to play this game. They should be able to leave for any reason they want. Period! This is like frickin kindergarden…youve been baaad…go to time out.
This comes off as either totally oblivious to the hardship someone DC’ing puts on a group, or it’s trolling. Either way, there is no “wrong” deserter debuff. If you get kicked, you get the debuff. If you leave a group before finishing, you get the debuff.
As for your cat and your incompetence as a pet owner, why should a group be expected to wait for you? They have no way of knowing why you left so, for all they know you intentionally disconnected in some vain attempt to avoid deserter.
To plenty of people, queued content is their end-game. If it’s so low-brow to you, why are you doing? But more important, people have a right to kick whomever they choose and deserter is part of the system.
People that want to complete content with a full group.
No it isn’t. People abuse the ability to drop a group so, Blizzard put a penalty in.
They sure do. The other 4 people in your group pay the same as you. Are they not entitled to a smooth experience?
You can leave for any reason, or none at all. You’ll just get deserter when you do.
You’re crying like a kindergartner for sure.
you are responsible for your pets.
There IS NO consequence for anyone leaving a heroic dungeon. Its a heroic dungeon. You can 2 man those. Its silly easy content.
Show me two level 71’s that can clear a TWW heroic with just the two of them. Even M+ geared you can’t clear a heroic dungeon as a pair without elite play. Heroics may not be the end all of content, but to many people, it is THEIR end-game as they don’t care about M+ or raiding.
Besides, the social contract, which you agree to, does not agree with what you are saying. So, I don’t know, either don’t be a jerk to other people, or find a different game.
You cant que for heroics at level 71. What are you talking about.
For Dps that dc I usually leave a grace period, cause a grp can usually 4 man a good deal of a TW no problem. Does not slow down a grp much. Tank/healer is another matter. That very often puts a stop to the group’s progress. Grace period is significantly shorter then. Your grp really have no way of knowing what happened to you so… Yeah take care of your cat! It obviously needs more attention for it to do this! Clever cat!
And now it’s Saturday morning… technically, and it’s still going.
What is wrong about it? It sucks, sure… but you looked like you DC’d and they removed you… take it to the chin and move on, this whining non-sense is never going to work.

It’s intentional coding, not lazy coding… they deliberately coded it to give the debuff to you when kicked. It’s actually possible to leave a dungeon without getting the debuff if certain conditions are met, it is not however possible to be kicked without getting the debuff even if those conditions were already met.

Ok, I understand the irritation of the “deserter buff” when kicked. Unfortunately, this is by design and it’s working.
Anytime you get kicked, you get the buff.
Fair or not fair is subjective to the player it’s happening to. You think it’s unfair and others will say it’s justified… because it’s actually justified.
If you were offline for any part of the run, expect to get kicked. My computer randomly loses WiFi and I pray that it never happens in a run, but if it does…I expect to be kicked.
My cats are often around me when I play, but you can bet your bottom dollar…not when I enter an instance.

This is true. I had a couple of people leave an instance and then everyone left. No debuff.
