People seriously need to chill out. Without saying one word I was booted from a timerunner dungeon because I did not remember where a boss was and took a wrong turn. Nobody said anything, nobody did anything, just booted me. I acknowledged i made a mistake, did not matter, boot.
This is pretty sad when such poor attitudes and pettiness.
I have to imagine it is a taught/formed behavior because telling someone they went the wrong way could actually be talked about?
I had something similar happen, but it was just me and another person, yet I was the only one to get booted. In all fairness, my brain was on complete autopilot.
I expect them to be decent human beings and inquire where you are, when you say you got lost they help you out. Unfortunately, this is WoW… and “decent human being” doesnt apply to most players.
I always find it odd when this happens. TW atm is so easy, its old Wrath instances and I know them like the back of my hand; I started in Wrath and did those dungeons so many times. I understand that isnt the case for everyone but the majaority of them are very easy plans.
Not saying you shouldn’t get lost, op, but they are very old instances and it doesnt take long to learn them.
On the other hand, they ARE easy so why any group would want to kick someone who is obviously still moving and triying to advance is beyond me. If its a dps and they are halfway decent, they could finish even if you n ever got in a shot for half of it. Sometimes people just click yes without even activating any brain cells. I dont accept kicks unless something really bad has been done, personally.
Sorry that happened to you, OP. This is precisely why I’m terrified to queue for them, even though I’d like to for some rewards. I’m trying to build up the courage to do so but I’m struggling to win that battle, and reading of experiences like the OP’s is hurting that.
My wife was one of the other 4, it did not take 4 ppl to boot me.
I was actively killing mobs, going a wrong turn for a few seconds does not mean i am an arrow on the map.
Nice assumptions though, are you someone who quickly boots people, and could you please elaborate better on why people are so quick to boot?
Sorry that happened. I’d be more inclined to try to help out before booting somebody. Sounds like the situation was only three people were going the right way for a moment and it was resulting in them taking longer to beat stuff in their path. Sadly they couldn’t get you guys or didn’t say anything in chat? If it had been a while I’d definitely had at least said something. Weird.
Sorry but your logic eludes me.
If you are trying to correct a behavior silently booting them with no words just not make sense.
Please elaborate better on this mentality and how you believe it would actually solve any issues?
Currently it is way too easy to boot people from groups for nothing more than pettiness, there should really be some kind of recourse that can be taken. i.e. everyone in group gets deserter for an hour so they all cool off.
Person A makes wrong turn and slows the entire dungeon down, thus getting booted.
Person A, instead of googling the correct way to go, makes forum post
Person A reads forum posts, googles which way to go, and is now extra careful to not get booted
I somewhat agree that It’s “too easy” to kick people from TW and dungeons in general, but it’s such a non-issue and really doesn’t happen as often as you think it does.
Lol you take this way too serious. It’s a video game. Chill out.
People like you should stick to just playing with friends/guildies if this is your way of thinking. WoW would improve immensely.
How inconvenient must it be to ask, “Hey X, are you okay? Do you need some help?” and go help that person because it is an MMO after all and not some solo experience. The World of Warcraft does in fact not revolve around you.
I just don’t believe most of these stories how their presented to the forums. people have a way of bending the truth to look innocent.
What if he was AFK for 3 minutes.
If you’re lost and away from the group, just communicate it. Say sorry im lost, or people will make their own assumptions and think you may be doing something wrong yourself.
