Next is punish players who abuse vote kicks

No, it’s a joke thread based on the incoming dungeon deserter debuff.

This is the topic I came here for. In a heroic dungeon, half way through with no deaths, a mage gets blasted by 3 avoidable dmg abilities and dies, then votes to have me kicked, and now a 5 minute lockout? That’s trash and abuse. Then the tank pulled before my rez went off and I’m sure that triggered the mage.

Vote to kick can’t be abused.

i mean…if we’re going with THAT logic, world war ii would like a word…

This…is a computer game.

saying the majority of people wanting someone gone is not abuse is a huge leap in logic.

Nothing can be considered abuse. There is no way to do this. The system does not discriminate and Blizzard is not going to sit there and police every single vote to see if it’s legit.

If they don’t want you there, they don’t want you there. That’s not “abuse.”

There already is.

Patch 3.3.5 (2010-06-22): The functionality of the Vote Kick feature in the Dungeon Finder will now behave differently according to a player’s history with the system. Players using the Dungeon Finder who rarely vote to kick players from a group, or rarely abandon groups before a dungeon is complete, will find that the Vote Kick option will have no cooldown. For players who frequently abandon groups or vote to kick other players, the Vote Kick option will be kept on a cooldown. This functionality will adjust itself as a player’s behavior while using the Dungeon Finder changes.

Bingo. :dracthyr_heart: If the majority of players want to remove somebody (for any reason) then they are able to do so.

Major loot at the end, keep deserter debuff if kicked within the first 15 minutes. Otherwise, let the people leave if they feel their time is being wasted after 15 minutes without a debuff. Anyone standing around to wait for the debuff can be reported for temporary suspension if they make it a habit. Simple, easy, clean. Stops people from being abusive and you’re able to reliably filter out bad actors who aren’t wanting to play the game and if your time IS wasted after trying enough times, you can just leave.

I think players who are kicked should be able to see what the reason was. And players who start a kick should have to put a legitimate reason in the window. Using racial or gender slurs is not a legitimate reason to kick.

While yes getting kicked out by a 4 stack for no reason sucks, but Blizzard isn’t going to police that nor every vote to kick and you dont really have any other choice but to deal with it.

I dont vote kick people often.

The only reason I will ever vote kick is if someone is afk, offline or just deliberately making the dungeon harder then it needs to be for no reason at all.

Nah how about punish players that report to much cursing there is a filter in the game for a reason… Use it!

True, if a person keeps getting vote kicked out of multiple groups, just ban them from LFG :smiley:

It doesn’t change the fact they were removed and I don’t expect players kicking people to fill out well reasoned constructive criticism for the reason.

I don’t see a point to this.

Who decides what is legitimate and when? GMs aren’t going to review every successful vote kick in the game.

When you joined, you clicked to agree that you would not use profanity or other verbal abuse in chat. That is your obligation.

It’s actually a lot easier than you are making it seem.

“Tank doesn’t know the dungeon.” Legit.
“Queer” Not legit.

When i bought the Game it was advertise as T for Teen not E for Everyone. Games have a Rating system for a reason.

Just group people who use the kick system the most, with each other.

100 people que in at once. 20 of them have never kicked anyone. They all get grouped together.

20 of them used kick only once out of every 20 dungeons. Those get grouped together, or with the non-kickers.

40 of them use vote kick occasionally. They kick about one of every 3-5 runs and their votes for yes are also high. They get grouped together.

20 of them kick every dungeon, and never vote no. They get grouped together.

See how you stop abuse?

If you have intentionally been violating the terms of service you agreed to, you should expect it will catch up with you at some point.

How does that affect the complexity of the matchmaking algorithm in big O notation?

If cursing does not fall under Mild Language i don’t know what does.
