Genuinely just got kicked and got deserter after sitting in que for almost 30 minutes. Group split without killing a mob that is required to progress through the dungeon. I stayed back to solo it, leader didn’t like that, kicked me after 45 seconds of not being with the group. I feel like if you are going to kick someone at least say something or ask them what is going on. I am not asking to have vote to kick removed or changed, but at least give us recourse to report and reprimand people who clearly abuse it.

When you say ‘group split’… did they run out or just ran ahead? I’m guessing this is plaguefall.
Ran by the mob, and Dire Maul.
What mob? Those big trees? Those ones you have to kill or they pull the entire area when you try to kill Warpwood? If so, they did you a favor.
When I was leveling, and I would get that dungeon, I’d remind the party about that, if they ignore the warning, I nope right out. That boss is a party-breaker.
Those would be the ones.
I typed out at least twice that there was still a tree up and figured they understood what I was saying. Then all of a sudden the lead typed out “What are you doing warlock” only for me to be kicked within 3 seconds of him hitting enter.

If you repeated the warning twice, nd they still didn’t acknowledge you, like I said, I’d nope right out of there mate. You shouldn’t have to salvage the dungeons run by soloing it.
I have a macro set up when leveling, warning the party then need to kill the big trees before killing Warpwood, and why. If I have to use it twice and they still ignore, I’m gone, because 9 times out of 10, the party will break up when it wipes.
It’s unfortunate that you got the debuff but in the long run, you saved on repair bills and a toxic run. When I got the debuff, I just chill, look at websites and wait it out.
I’m sorry that you have a long queue though. Is your guy Alliance or Horde on Malganis? or on another Server?
Unfortunately leaving before the first boss is killed nets you a 30 minute time out, and getting kicked gets you the same result.
Horde Mal’ganis.
Sucks but that’s just how some people are. You’ll get groups of good players and groups of incompetent players. The latter can be rather frustrating.
Deserter should only be for leaving, not being kicked.
Deserter was put in for everyone because it used to be you got it for leaving only. People would hold dungeons hostage by not leaving back in wrath.

How do you do that? Just kick them and report them.
They wouldn’t get the debuff, and sometimes you would get the individual again, and it starts all over.
Yeah, it was pretty bad. You could kick a guy afking and get him back in the same dungeon.
I always like to run straight to warp wood and cleave all the ads down at once. Saves time. I prob woulda kicked too.
The majority of people being kicked are people who are being unfairly kicked. The system is heavily abused and needs to be fixed somehow.

That’s just lazy programming. Rather than make it so you cannot get that same person, they weaponize the kick system for 
heads
Hit me with some of your mains names, so I don’t accidentally invite you to my key runs.

It is what it is.
Every time I get a certain wing of diremaul and my group’s a bunch of jerks I pull the one quest giver you can kill and trick them into murdering him. Works every time lol, but yeah the option to kick people gets abused way too much. On my demon hunter I got kicked from a group after having been sitting in queue for over an hour because I was a demon hunter. No reason more than “Oh great another demon hunter… bye” then I see the message of “you’ve been kicked from the group” alongside a deserter debuff. That or on this gal here I went after the rogue order hall quest chain and second I get the dungeon I’m after the group lost its tank and just decides to boot me for no reason except for a simple sigh emote and asking why the tank bailed.
heheh, when I get someone to say “lol, this hunter…” It’s a good sign I’d be kicked. I don’t get upset. I wait out the debuff and then requeue. Chances are I won’t run into those tools again.
In ineptitude we trust is the game makers motto. Enough with hair colors and erasing names and start fixing game stuff like this system.
