To all those that came before me who I never believed you have my sincerest apology!

Dungeon group kicked me for offering to explain a boss fight. I wasn’t rude, I wasn’t condescending, I wasn’t arrogant (I wasn’t even top dps or anything like that)

We were walking down the hall to the boss and I said “Does anyone not know this boss? I can explain if you need”

You have been removed from the group.

I never ever ever believe people when they claim they get booted for the smallest slight but I now know it’s a real thing! I can’t even be mad, I feel like I have seen a unicorn!

That’s what you get for trying to be helpful. Players aren’t here to listen to your helpfulness.

I definitely would have preferred to not get kicked, but I really don’t even know how to be mad about it tbh lol

Random is as random comes - people just shut up and go about their way - usually trucking along behind the Tank or the Kamikazi DPS pulling ahead of the Tank.

Dungeon group?
They’re pretty much trivial content. Unless you’re doing mythic+ runs, but I doubt having to pause the run to explain each mechanic to the group would be an efficient use of your time.

So if it was normal / heroic, then that is to be expected.

You did nothing wrong. The disparity is because you explaining it is now a redundant process that can be bypassed with less effort and time simply by popping all your cool downs in one go.

I haven’t seen people get kicked for that, yet. Oh well. Try not to let it get you down. Better luck next time, I always say. You’ll probably never even see those same players again. Hopefully your new group would be less … volatile.

Nothing to be mad about. Just ignore it or laugh it off and go about your day. Thing is if you want to avoid these type of things, just don’t pug anything unfortunately.

I got kicked once be because I was asked to Rez the healer but didn’t.

The leader didn’t believe me that mages can’t do that.

I’d be mad too. Seems you have actually found the pvp vendors. Most of us are too dumb to find them.

I was running with a friend, and the vote to kick box appeared, and it was written ‘Reason: Gorgonnash’.

Maybe it’s a server with a bad reputation, but that was utterly pathetic.

I was in a TW group last week that had some guy in it that kept trying to explain every fight that was:

1 - From 40 million years ago
2 - Nerfed into the ground faceroll
3 - Ran a billion times by the majority of the players

…but he was like to the point of annoyance. I probably would have clicked yes on that guy. Was that you?

Sounds like every single timewalking boss that players still constantly wipe on because the game actually had mechanics for casuals back in the day.

I have been kicked for “casting dps spells only” as a disc priest and for saying “dope” because someone thought I was using it as an insult.

People are dumb.

I actually can’t remember wiping on a timewalking MoP boss.

What kinda people you hang out with?

I am sorry to hear of it, my mysterious minx. There are many who play who are of the mindset that you must simply push through the content as quickly as possible, and should you offer a word of advice you will be removed. Even if the group itself was at fault.

Do not despair, love. Keep playing and enjoying those groups, the naughty ones are not the majority in my experience.

Everyone has an ego. Some of us has small egos while others may have big egos. While I believe you were trying to helpful, the other group members just so happen to be individuals with larger egos. And by trying to help them, they may have interpreted it as “you suck, you don’t know what your doing” through their own perception of reality based on their ego.
