Jeff Probst has a story about that line. I saw an interview where he said he wished he had invented it but he didn’t.
What happened was that when “Survivor” was being developed he heard about how the voting off of players would go. This was all new back then. So he went and talked to Creator/producer Mark Burnett who tried to explain that it was what would make the show work. When Probst tried to argue about it Burnett said to him, “that’s it, the tribe has spoken”.
I have been kicked out of battles grounds before it was started . I didn’t think that was possible. Very rare to see anyone gets kicked out of battle grounds . The players probably knew who i was , so they didn’t want me on their team .
No , i wasn’t a pvp troll . Nor was i bad at BGs . For some reason i just out kicked out .
My recent experience with the deserter debuff was,
I queued for an LFR wing, queue popped, clicked on it immediately, but couldn’t zone in because the group already pulled.
So I gave up and decided to re-queue, so I left the group and got the deserter debuff.
Who ever designed this damn debuff, should find another job.
Believe what you want but I honestly didn’t know being kicked gave a deserter debuff. I thought the debuff was only if you, you know, deserted. I don’t do group content much and when I do I don’t go AFK or spam or even talk more than a hello. I don’t pull before the tank or suck enormously, I don’t have an obnoxious or insulting name (alt is a paladin named Glory). So I just don’t get kicked.
Since I was doing just as much work and my fair share of damage I have to assume it was either some dingdong power leveling himself with an alt account and didn’t want anyone else in the group (for some reason?). Or they kicked me because my character isn’t 70 yet (currently 67). Or, just occurred to me, could even be due to the alt being a black human woman (and I know some people are going to go nuts over me even mentioning that, but I had to have been kicked for some reason and sadly that is a possibility).
Anyway, being kicked shouldn’t give the same debuff as abandoning a group. That’s just dumb.
Dude, when you go AFK in a battleground you get kicked out by the game. It’s the same as quitting the group. I knew if I was gone too long I’d go AFK and get automatically booted and I was gone too long.
Welcome to the Occulus, the tank and healer are AFK and will not participate until they are vote kicked. They won’t leave, or they get debuffed, so you are waiting 2-3 minutes to kick, then hope the replacement desn’t do the same.
You could just apologize instead of doubling down on your attacks on me after your ‘detective work’ didn’t show what you thought it showed. But whatevs.
Yeah, the whole “You know you get the debuff for being kicked because look at these posts where you got the debuff for willingly leaving the group. Now let me harass you about it” is kinda something.
