M+ bans waves have begun

Repeatedly without regard for others’ game experience.
Maliciously, with intent to make the key fail.

If you just need to go once in a while, you’re ok.

Im not even sure if they have banned people or just issued a statement, We dont even know how long suspension was for, very likely 24 hour ban which does nothing.

Yup. But they’ll never do it, because that would require someone who cares, And they don’t. This is just to appease the people that hold groups hostage with poor play. There will be absolutely no accountability for terrible players

Thats a lot of man hours given the amount of keys being ran. And how many of those will be wasted time due to false positive flagging?

lmao! imagine handing out bans for leaving groups. if people are allowed to vote kick for any reason or no reason at all then people should be allowed to leave groups. for any reason.

Bingo, which is the biggest problem in this. Especially since they allow people to buy score for gold carries. How can we fairly see if someone is skilled enough if the score can be easily flawed?

While I agree that it would be nice to have some sort of outline as to what constitutes getting a “leaver suspension”:

At the same time… It’s pretty obvious from how they worded it.

Today, we issued gameplay suspensions to players who intentionally left Mythic+ groups a great many times in The War Within Season 1

Nothing in this indicates that having left keys is going to result in a suspension.

We understand that occasionally, abandoning runs will happen. Players can experience unexpected real life emergencies, internet outages, or the group collectively deciding to quit the run. Today, we suspended players who repeatedly and recklessly disrupted Mythic+ groups.

When they say “repeatedly and recklessly”, the intended reception of their choice of words is that this is specifically aimed at people who are deliberately leaving multiple keys within a brief timespan.

This isn’t aimed at your average player engaging with M+. This is aimed at people joining keys to brick/leave them, or people who play on such a short fuse that they wind up repeatedly bricking or leaving keys.

These two things aren’t related, though. Vote kicking is only present in auto-queue content. There’s no such thing as vote kicking in M+ or raiding in Normal or higher.

Better question: should we assume that every +7 or +8 listed is a learning key?

Yeah, Kaivax basically stated this.

  • Intentionally left a great many times and/or;
  • Deliberately intending to harm others’ experiences and/or;
  • Repeatedly and recklessly

This isn’t for the average player. You can still leave groups if they are wiping and slogging through. Everything Blizzard stated was about intentions substantiated by a very clear pattern of behavior. Such as the very few who hate M+ and join keys just to leave then when they start. Does this happen often? No.

As usual GD is full of hysterics.

Of course it is. Wouldn’t be GD without partial collective meltdowns over whatever the topic of the minute or hour is, lol.

It’s mostly filled with people who don’t even participate in M+ who just want to see it burn.

Funny because Grimrail ended up being pretty good.

Honestly, the hilarity of the dungeon was worth it.

That and pulling the entire last room. That was fun.

It wasn’t even that bad. :dracthyr_shrug: Linear, sure, but fine.

I dont think the dungeon itself would have been bad, but the players and how they respond to it being bad.

SV is pretty straight forward on how it goes and thats a mess. Couldnt imagine GD

Most of the problems in stonevault come from people not kicking a fear.
