I was kicked out of dungeon group for being a bit behind, running too slow for the party, and got the 30 minute debuff. This rushing to end boss and kicking people for being slow feels like carryover from retail, rushing timed mythic dungeon runs, even though classic MoP has no timing on dungeon runs. In true classic, people would even wait for disconnected party members and gave them like 5 minute grace period. Here in MoP, if you are disconnected, don’t ever come back since you have definitely been kicked.

Most of them do. Sounds like you had one bad experience and are now judging the entire community based on it
Especially if this was a leveling dungeon 99% of people aren’t even going to notice you lagging behind, let alone care to kick you

This happened once?
To be fair, MoP is not too far off from Retail in many ways. Hopping on any of my toons and sitting in Org waiting for a queue to pop, it’s sometimes hard to tell if I’m in Retail or MoP “Classic.”
Having said that, I’m not really sure what your thread is about. It seems as though it’s mostly an observation that the modern player base is less patient with others, and the vote-to-kick democratizes the conditioning or encouragement of rushing through dungeons.
Interestingly, I’ve been removed a few times here or there from instances, but I’ve equally had experiences where I queued as an undergeared tank, and the group worked around my getting one-shotted from time to time.
Good luck with your dungeon runs! Maybe we’ll run some together.

Of course our judgment is based on our experiences, so is yours since you aren’t doing a survey. I am just sharing my experience so far.

Hopefully I will meet better and more patient players. I stopped after WoTL in classic so MoP is a new expansion to me and want to experience like I did 15 years ago. So far, not so good, I guess I am too old, lol

Haha, it can definitely be frustrating being removed! Especially if it happens a couple of time in succession, it’s as though nothing you do can satisfy the group!
I’m not a fan of the skips in Lost City of Tol’vir, for example, and the first couple of time I ran it, I got kicked consistently for either not skipping, or commenting, “I don’t want to skip.” or, “The skips are high-risk, low-reward. If anyone dies, it will end up taking just as long, or longer, and will be boring waiting for them to return.”
Anyway, I sort of dreaded getting that instance for a while, then I just gave in and came up with a few rules that I now follow when queuing dungeons:
- Do the skips, all of them, even if you think they are silly.
- Don’t type anything in chat.
- Evaluate whether you’re OK with a 30 minute time out before breaking any of these rules
And things have been OK since.

Be honest, you sat afk for awhile.
People have limited time to do things. If you want to move at your own pace then go quest. All too often do people join dungeons then just sit there like bots, soaking up xp/gear while contributing nothing. People see those patterns and start kicking people that display them. Be ready to engage content if you decide to hit accept on dungeon que. Don’t just sit there.

What is the point of this thread? Sure bad experiences happen from time to time but I’ve run countless dungeons over the years and I rarely have bad experiences like this.

I agree i mean all guys that drive pickups at 10 mph below the posted speed limit are just trying to compensate for something small.
first off, MoP is true classic since blizzard has labeled it as Classic, and secondly that’s because otherwise you had to hearth back to Org to spend the next 30 minutes yelling into the void and hoping someone would join your in progress dungeon

Unlucky most people especially at the moment could care less about anything. I leveled a hunter to 55 and then a dk to 85 exclusively through dungeons and was never kicked once. Most people won’t even bring it up unless someone’s been afk for multiple minutes.
My best advice would be to try and find a guild with some chill people who don’t take a 20 year old game too seriously.

To be honest, this is more BMW driver behavior and virtually everyone relates lol

Why should you be awarded afking? I didnt 1 to 85 without doing a single dungeon or been in group, leveling is better than ever
the only social interaction i’ve seen is people inviting me to guild randomly without saying anything
or doing dungeon
“hi” at the start
“gg” at the end

This. Yesterday, my ISP screwed me over and I was DCed for 5 entire minutes. When I logged back in, I wasn’t kicked.

Unfortunately this same behavior and mindset exists in Classic Anniversary as well, and i expect it to carry over into TBC classic. The only version of WoW where i haven’t seen this kind of behavior lately is Classic Era, and thats only after Anniversary realms launched (Anniversary pulled away a lot of the retail-minded players from Era).
Guy gets mad for wanting to AFK and get a free carry. You got booted for being sloppy, do better.

Its likely because there was an influx of retail players recently

I leveled a monk to 85 almost entirely in dungeons and only one person was kicked and they were afk and hadn’t responded when someone asked.
In at least a couple dungeons we finished with 4 because someone was AFK or off doing who knows what and nobody bothered to kick them.
True classic? If you’re talking about vanilla, sure, people would wait because it would take 15-20 minutes to replace you if you could even find someone willing to come into a partially completed dungeon, which you probably couldn’t unless you had a warlock.
Dungeon finder groups don’t have to wait for you forever and shouldn’t.
