Depends on the situation.
IF whatever the objective is can be done without having to do the entire run and i get what I need, I’ll just bail. The BRD dungeons come to mind.
BUT…if we have to do the fire and dwarf boss and youre gonna try to do a full run without asking first, yeah, I can see getting kicked…personally Im just gonna bail, myself, but I can see it.
Yes. Because the group didn’t want to do that.
Why? Because you’re the one that went against what the group wanted.
And the team didn’t want to clear everything. You ignored what the team wanted. Ironic.
Tbh I don’t believe the “i was pulling at a steady pace”. I have not once skipped quests while tanking. Ill even do optional/hidden bosses.
Like dire maul specifically when you have to go out of the way upstairs for the quests. Haven’t had any complaints. No kicks.
But when I tank. I have threat. Solid damage and move with purpose.
Now I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, but I don’t believe the whole being kicked while innocent spiel.
Ran the whole dungeon? sounds like a real jerk move.
I always ask up front. Cause there are those who do the “You get less XP for trash and more for getting through one and onto the next one” excuse. Yeah, and it takes 4 more minutes to get another 20k xp. It happens.
One could argue that if the majority of the team (i.e enough players to pass a kick vote) want a speedier run and the tank is not doing that, then the kick vote is promoting teamwork by removing the element that is not complying with the team’s goals.
I can only guess you were in Stratholme. It’s the only dungeon where completion means avoiding the right side of the map.
There is a wrath dungeon set up that way too.
Not sure why not all bosses are needed but I can understand reducing time spent in a dungeon (say Zul Farrak example).
A decision like that during (what I assume is) a timewalking dungeon should be asked to others first. Especially since most folks are out-leveled from the dungeon quests and just want to get the end of dungeon bonus and get out of there, or get the 5 dungeons for the quest and go. It’s annoying yes, but admittedly, when it’s your thirtieth dungeon of the day just to level, your patience for “slow and steady” gets very thin and I don’t blame them. This is a videogame afterall so communication is sort of a big part of it. You might’ve been the tank but that doesn’t mean folks will follow you or agree with your decisions. They vote with the vote kick if you don’t ask them first.
… yes, because the community can’t help but be self-absorbed and exploitative, punishing others so they can get more runs in for a specific loot item.
LFD kicks should really only be initiated after 2 silent votes. One person shouldn’t be able to initiate it if you’re going to give a dungeon deserter debuff.
How do you know why you were kicked?
You were out voted on what the group wanted to do and you wanted to do it your way anyways.
Run with friends if you want to run the entire dungeon.
Didn’t you say you were kicked, because people disagreed on what you wanted to do?
Which is it?
Whichever one it’s a team effort not a me effort.
please make followers for all dungeons. ppl cannot be played with.
Wasn’t unjust. They didn’t want to do the full optional dungeon.
Pretty sad if the solution to doing quests in a dungeon is to do it solo.
If it was timewalking it’s probably because you’re in a group full of people that were already done with the quest because somebody else helped them do it a while ago.
The future is AI. Other anonymous people on the internet will never been a reliable group for good experiences in a video game.
Do we get quests for TWW dungeons? He could of just used followers dungeons to begin with if that was the case.
I would have thought Blizzard would learn by now not to make dungeon boss’s non skipable.
Most of the older dungeons you can go back and solo them especially the vanilla ones.
The quests offered in the timewalking dungeons don’t offer scaled loot.
Did anyone ask what dungeon it was? Was it Stratholme or BRD, where the que is actually just a portion of the dungeon? You can’t really expect people to do the whole thing with you when the bonus XP is for a boss or two.
The issue is that it’s WAY, WAY more time efficient to simply complete the dungeon and get that huge chunk of experience. Killing mobs and bosses results an actual trivial amount in comparison, especially if you’re pulling non-required bosses/mobs.
IMO if the vote passed - you deserved it. People have limited time, and the game is almost entirely at level 80 now, so we just wanna hit max ASAP. It’s kinda sad, but it’s the way blizzard has leveling and dungeon design right now that’s the real issue.
Sounds like the system is working as intended, the majority of the group didn’t want to play the way you did so they exercised their democratic vote and all agreed to kick you. If anything should be reportable in this scenario, it’s you for greifing the entire group by not doing what the group wants.
The group is often dumber than a bag of potatoes so fight the power.
If this is a classic dungeon I never seen anyone complain of clearing everything for the XP is that good for leveling.
