Kicked for Running the Full Dungeon—This Needs to Be Addressable

Its selfish to force to do what you want to do. A lot of people dont want to burn through content in 5 mins

Honestly blizzard should do a major slow down kf ghe game. So i can actually do dungeons that arnt super stressful after a 12 hour work day because people are impatient

I feel like this is easily addressable by asking the group at the start of the dungeon if they want a full clear or if they mind you doing so to complete quests you may have. Communication is your friend.

So a couple of things:

First off, having to do a ton of extra content in TW dungeons wouldn’t make them more fun or compelling, it would just be more tedious owing to how most of these dungeons are somewhat outmoded in terms of complexity and challenge.

Second: Levelling is already real fast and real easy. Even before leap forward, time walking, Darkmoon or other systems were implemented the reality is that In modern WoW a player that puts in time on a daily basis can probably hit current content in 2-3 weeks which is signifigantly faster then it waas back in say… BC where the equivelant feat would take in the neighbourhood of 2 months (or a full time card).

Also comparing this to FF14 is ridiculous considering how that game was designed to have all of it’s content accessible by 1 character due to class switching (and presumably race swapping) thereby ensuring that pretty much everyone is going to be at endgame anyways (This also ignores how people sub to play the newest content and then let their sub expire because theres nothing to do).

I understand where you’re coming from.
I get confused with some of the directions people take now as they are not running the whole dungeon.
But as a tank I guess I would let people know I was going to run the whole thing to give them a chance to leave.
I only tank once a week with my kids & don’t have to worry about kicks as we are the majority.

I feel you man. I wouldn’t have booted you.

If it was timewalking it’s stupid on the OP fault. Any max level get nothing. Do it on your own time.

Don’t hold people hostage you selfish prick.

I think both you and the group were being silly by not verbally communicating.

Yeah its stupid of them to just kick you without word but at the same time its courtesy as a tank to communicate to your group whether they need or like to do dungeon quests or extra bosses. I know this isnt classic where you can mostly get by group play without uttering a word but talking to your teammates saves you unnecessary headaches.

If you ask me, all 5 of you in that dungeon run deserve the 30 min deserter debuff.

It was prob me that initiated the kick :wink:

You know what always fixes this? Run groups with guildies or friends. If you play with randoms, you subject yourself to random tendencies and mentalities.

Working on Shadowmourne and I got 3 friends to help. I would NEVER try with randoms. Same goes for dungeons if I can help it.

It kinda sucks, but majority rules. If you want to run a full dungeon, I would do so with friends and/or guildies. Randoms through the DF are usually there for speed instead of a casual stroll down memory lane.

been there many times since 05 if im there im there for xp not nostalga

There’s also the whole problem with the Dungeon Deserter Debuff preventing you from getting back info group content again: namely how there’s a 50/50 chance of us getting it if we are KICKED from a group instead of leaving it on our own volition.

Sometimes, I wind up in a Group Finder Queue only for after I get zoned into the Dungeon for the other guys to just unceremoniously kick me from the group less than a minute inside where we’ve managed to only down a single pack of Mobs without Wiping or dropping below 75% HP, even if I’m not the one who pulled that pack or I’m at the top or bottom of the Damage Meters.

Sometimes I get kicked because I’m the wrong Loot Spec or They don’t want a Blood Elf Paladin rolling with them in an LFG. Like I don’t know how to classify that as Racism or Classism or what? Even before we even fight anything, these guys just Kick me because I’m just wanting to make smalltalk and get to break the ice with others about the Dungeon and the unique loot and goodies we might find in it as Boss Drops with useful abilities or BoE Zone-Specific Drops that could sell for bank on the AH.

This is designed to be a community-based game, is it not? Why am I getting arbitrarily punished with a 30-minute suspension for wanting to engage with the community?

Dungeon quests during Timewalking award like 11 XP. Go do Chromie time if you want the full experience. TW is spam.

Um, this is a ’ you ’ problem. Don’t you know this?

If you want to do a full clear, you state so, or ask if anyone has quests before the run.
Since most people just want to do what’s needed, then leave. So they can queue again.

This is why I play the game solo now. I’m finding the older I get the less I care to interact with other people. The day WoW is completely solo-able will be the best day for me as a player as unpopular as I’m sure that will be amongst the MMO crowd.
