First implemented during Legion. At the time of implementation, mobs had more health and hit harder. Players were starting to quit. They rolled back the part where the mobs were hitting harder.
Players are supposed to find this an inspiration to do the hard content that will provide better gear.
Ion. They’ve been wanting to do this for a long time. Players will have no option but to git gud. This will return wow to its glory days of vanilla when wow was the hardest game in its genre, when 100% of players raided and had Naxxramas on farm. In their dreams.
Looks like they nerfed gear in follower dungeons. As of yesterday I was averaging 1 piece of gear in each dungeon I had a leveler in. It’s now 2 pieces of gear in 6 dungeons. Coincidence? Unlikely, but possible.
I’m not understanding your reasoning. A player seeing the reason they were kicked after the kick means they aren’t there to argue with the people who voted to kick. I get that you don’t want players who are regularly getting kicked and don’t know why to get that information. You’re in “good” company, because lots of players don’t want noobs to get any help at all, and wouldn’t lift a finger to help them.
If you wrote “gay” in the vtk box, the player has every reason to think you are a jerk. And if you used a racial or sexual slur or profanity, they should be able to report you.
