Please remove deserter from voted to kick people

Getting deserter from being kicked from a group at the start after tank pulls too much for a vanilla dungeon in retail. Being a healer of decent experience I time all my HoTs pretty good so much so I end up third in average DPS. Please nerf the damage output of your dungeon Strathholme. This tank was level 60, seemed pretty geared as well as knew what he was doing. But as all things seem well on the outlook, in reality, nothing could be further. As this guy grabs one mob, then the second chunks of 25%-30% health drop-in seconds before my HoTs even tick the next set - Mind you I was not even going to attempt DPS knowing all this in mind. And don’t even get me started on the abominations. But at the end, or should I say very beginning of this I was vote booted out before we could even get to a boss, as such I am destroyed by a stupid 30-minute debuff to which I thought I’d give the time and post my vented frustration out on the forums and hope maybe one day Blizzard would re-think their scaling and or LFG strategies. Or maybe just remove the debuff for voted out people altogether.

Thanks for reading, I hope to never do that dungeon again, but considering how the scaling works currently I’m sure I will suffer this dreadful dungeon until 60+.

Is your post about getting deserter for being kicked after letting the tank die or about dungeon scaling?

No thanks. The system is fine.

dungeons dont need a nerf. there fine. if anything they could all be scaled up so were not one pulling every dungeon. even in heroics.

Being kicked after the tank died, it was pretty glorious to see all the healing I did amounted to nothing.

i will agree that maybe a debuff for being vote kicked is a bad system, but the scaling is dungeons are fine IMO. the debuff for being vote kicked can be abused.

There is balance issues in current retail vanilla, to say otherwise is ignorant.

gotta keep the leveling process interesting somehow. idk ive never had an issue steam rolling any of the dungeons while leveling up.

Honestly you shouldnt be able to vote kick some one for poor play. This content is already insanely easy compared to how it started.
A few wipes or mistake here and there should not be something that immediately causes everyone to point the finger and demand replacements.
Not sure what the rest of your points were, but either way i agree that getting kicked because some one else thinks your actions are not good enough for leveling dungeons is not something that should even be allowed, let alone punished for.

It should only be for afk players or otherwise not participating.

UUUUUUGH!
This dungeon!? NO.

No, I am NOT doing this! No, we are NOT going forward - you’re going to kick me so I can get into a better instance. No I don’t give a single damn that you waited for half and hour and my queue was instant! You’re going to kick me right now so I don’t take a debuff and you can wait for another tank drool inclined enough to waste their time with this armpit of an instance.


This is why Vote-kick carries with it the deserter debuff.

Good to know decent people get shot in the foot for tank arrogance.

I don’t disagree but it’s pretty much impossible to be able to tell the difference between a kick from poor play or a kick from poor behavior.

First off, banning kicking for poor play would be utterly unenforceable. How would the system know if you’re kicking someone because they’re not that good or because they’re just doing the bare minimum to not automatically go afk? Who decides if the tank isn’t taunting because they can’t find the button or if it’s because they just don’t care?

That aside, why shouldn’t it be allowed? Why should the four members of the group that can do their job be forced to choose between carrying a useless fifth or leaving themselves? If you want a group that you know is going to put up with you not being good at your role, find friends or guildies.

Sure, if you’re ready to see a constant stream of “I hate this place; kick me and find a new tank” whenever you get into an unpopular dungeon.

Remove the debuff from those whom were kicked? Why? So Tanks and/or Healers can hold groups hostage again because the luck of the draw was not on their side? NO thank you.

That’s just what I call tanking arrogance, being a tank before taught me all about it but seeing it first hand was ridiculous and what’s stopping the tank to just throw the vote up and knowing people just blindly press the yes button not knowing the real issue.

Is that an issue with the person initiating the vote or the people that just hit ‘yes’ without asking a question? Technically you can kick anyone for anything. Someone can kick you because they don’t like your name. If the rest of the group is just going to hit ‘yes’ without wondering why, that’s more on them rather than the person that initiated the kick.

Don’t say anything and pull your weight. You’ll never get kicked.

Ya basically handle it like battlegrounds. As long as they are participating then that should be enough.
These are dungeons that have been nerfed dozens of times and ways since their inception.
That really should be all thats need at this point, honestly.

If the suggestion is outlier dungeons that are harder than others we need specifics to be discussed and addressed but everything ive done you just fly though and thats frankly without any type of maximization at all.

I was going to say “Boy the damage of these mobs are crazy!” To the tank but before I could even type the ending I see myself in SW with a 30 minute timeout. So saying nothing with your head down clearly full extent of a druid healer capability at level 50 was not enough.
