Is there a way to deal with idiot DPS without getting blacklisted?

kicking people who don’t listen(2 out of every 3 DPS don’t listen)

I suppose it really comes down to just how much it matters whether they listen or not.

Sometimes, I can understand that there may be people who are so disruptive to a group that it isn’t worth continuing with them. However, if the numbers are the vast majority of the players one is coming across (such as 2 our of 3 suggests), then it’s questionable where the problem lies.

I put together a Classic warrior tanking guide a while back, that explicitly addresses dealing with this issue, and it may be of some use for your consideration:

If DPS is regularly pulling mobs, tunnel visioning 20 yards away, rogue tanking, etc. you can just let them. Likewise, if a pet is taunting, pulling, etc, rather than go out of your way, you can just let them. In these cases, what tends to happen is either:

• Nothing: Everything is fine, and the dungeon goes smoothly
• Healer Stress: The healer tries to heal the DPS, and prioritizes them over the tank (inexperienced healer)
• DPS dies: The DPS or pet dies, and that person either continues doing the same thing later, or learns from their experience
• Communication (optional): You can try to discuss things with the group. Often, (of course, this is totally just my opinion), if people are not playing their roles properly, they either feel that they know what they are doing, and you don’t, or they have no clue (often both). This option is generally not required. I will typically communicate if I see a healer prioritizing healing a life-tapping warlock over a tank with low health though.
