Can we discuss the issue of people dcing in keys and the key gets bricked because of it ? Can blizzard please implement a fail safe method where if a player dcs, the timer stops and gives players the oppertunity to get another player and once they spawn in the dungeon the timer resumes?
Its not really a DC its people leaving lol

If they DC and aren’t back within like 2 minutes there’s a very high chance they just got mad or embarrassed and alt+F4d out for the night or hopped to an alt or something.
Obviously power/internet outages and such happen but the vast majority of the time it’s gonna be a little flicker that kicks them off and immediately reconnects.
Also how do you allow them to be replaced if they’re DC’d? You can’t kick people in M+. Does the kick system even have eyes on the status of the player in question?
And if we allow kicking only offline people (if possible), is there a chance that certain types of groups return to the early Legion shenanigans of getting rid of a pug to invite a friend right before the loot at the end? (Just instead of a votekick it’s now “alright we’re gonna sit here until you leave or log out”.)
It happened twice last night to me. Both times missed the timer by like 2 minutes cause 4… honestly it’s the only time it’s ever happened…I see people leave all the time but yea…these two just stopped and stood there till they left. Not leavers.
We should get a vote to replace with NPC option. Like…if a player stops moving for 2 minutes then we automatically get a vote to replace with follower.
Not really sure what else could help to solve it. But that dps does actually matter in timed runs. So …yea it’s an interesting problem.
NO.
- While DC does suck and feels terrible, it would easily be abused. There’s no way to tell a legit from fake DC in order to reset a key.
- Often, people fake DC to ditch a group that isn’t doing well.
Keys fail, there’s lots of reasons behind it. Go back in and try again. M+ isn’t meant to be 100% completion rate.

i have unironically done that once
used breath of fire, rolled in, taunted High Priestess Emya, but* alt f4d when trying to taunt
Power move, telling the boss exactly how tough you think they are.

It wouldn’t be outrageously abused if the game could differentiate kicks from removing someone who’s offline. But it can’t. So yeah the abuse would be astronomical.
Numerous drawbacks, even if it could tell the difference.
-Boosters would have a field day, speed to the end as a full premade and then bring in a buyer or two for the last boss only.
-Groups where someone “oops disconnected wink wink” would be poison to refill, since it throws doubt on the remaining group’s competence. Ten times as much suspicion if the tank/healer is who’s missing.
-Coding everything to freeze upon disconnect would be a serious undertaking so it won’t happen. Not to mention how buggy and abusable that part would be.
