Is this considered Gameplay Sabotage?

I guess if people are stupid enough to gloat upon someone inserting a keystone, just to leave.

Then sure.

But that’s such an edge case scenario, not applicable to 99.9% of the cases.

Removing someone that is clueless on the last boss is well justified based on game mechanics.

Whoa, look at the toxicity?

Mods?

Do you even know what’s being talked about Faux

Yes, I do.

And gameplay sabotage wouldn’t cover it.

It such an edge case scenario that virtually never happens.

Refusing to play the game until someone you asked to be kicked is kicked is absolutely covered by gameplay sabotage. In fact it’s pretty much the primary reason the rule exists.

No, it’s not.

It’s someone LEAVING the group.

It’s not refusing to play with someone in the group.

You did not read much of the context of this post.

Yeah. Sabotage, griefing, whatever someone wants to call it. It’s impeding the progress of a group of people with malicious intent. That is against the ToS no matter how anyone wants to spin it.

I did, and that’s why it does not apply in this scenario.

Gameplay sabotage did not occur.

Harassment did.

If you think people from Latin American servers are the worst players, you’re right.
If you think people from Latin American servers are as good/bad as anyone else; you’re right.
If you think people from Latin American servers are the best players in the game; you’re right.

People have preconceived bias. If think think something they will find a reason to confirm that bias. How many times have you grouped with someone from Bleeding Hollow and specifically noted it? Or from the Tortheldrin server and marked it down? You didn’t. And you didn’t for Ragnaros either, because when things so just fine you don’t care, but when they go bad, you look for a reason for why they went bad.

Both occurred.

I’m going to do you a solid, since we’ve already argued before and I don’t want to put up with your inevitable trolling.

No. It’s perfectly reasonable to not want to proceed further with someone that is incompetent.

It is not reasonable to lash out and cause a scene over it.

That’s why there’s harassment to cover that.

So, we’re going to use the word “incompetent” to apply to someone who accidentally pulled a single mob. This likely cost the group, say, 20-45 seconds.

Is this dude a troll? I’ve seen them post cooked takes before, but this seems to be pushing the line.

What even is an edge case scenario? (you seem to like the term).

I am talking about:

That definately qualifies as attempted malicious saboutage. At least it seems so to me, and it would certainly warrant a check of the chat logs and the player’s behaviour afterwards on Blizzard’s part.

If that. It’s a 3.

Troll? I don’t think so. They genuinely don’t seem to know what they’re talking about. That’s arguably worse in some respects. :sweat_smile:

Someone entering a key, and declaring explicit intent that they are leaving, just so your key downgrades.

Short of that? Nothing.

No, because you cannot force people to carry others.
