Remove deserter debuff for people who get kicked from dungeons

No.

Unless this is an account wide debuff I’ll just leave anyhow and queue back up on a different character to continue gearing as efficiently as possible.

Yeah, but this never happens. There’s ALWAYS a reason.

Besides, this is only an issue for another week and a half, then M+ opens up. No more random queues.

The whole point is to let those people who got kicked to cool off before going back into another group situation. Because it’s very likely you got kicked for being a jerk, being afk or simply not pulling your weight.

WoW if players didn’t behave like degenerates:

No. Vote kick should require a multiple choice reasoning. That should determine who gets punished. If the ruling is contested and reviewed the punishment is even harsher for whoever is in the wrong.

No one is being “held hostage” in a dungeon you queued for.

Maybe just finish the dungeon like a decent person instead of being selfish and causing an inconvenience?

“Tanks were holding people hostage in randoms so they would vote kick them and we needed a deserter debuff to stop it!”

Those people weren’t ever being held hostage either, right?

They queued up after all.

Well, it certainly was not a warranted action in this particular case. Just because the tank did not know what “I need mana” meant, which shows me that he needed to go back to Tank 101 to learn the important things a tank needs to know…you know, like making sure your healer has enough mana or needs to wait the few seconds to regain it.

Not only that, but he was the one who kicked the healer because he failed. The sad part is he railed over not being healed…ummm, kinda hard to heal when you have run out of mana because the tank is running full speed ahead without regard to the needs of the entire group following behind. To me that’s a tank failure.

Its unfortunate that this happened as our guild healer needed to wait in order to reconnect with her partner who did not leave the group. Of course the tank did not even ask for an explanation either. I don’t know what happened to the group after she was kicked but its unacceptable to ignore an important function of healing for many healers…mana, the very power needed to keep up the heals.

Anyone who gets kicked from a group should get teleported to the Maw. :scream:

It’s not my behavior because I haven’t left a single dungeon in TWW except for when the rookery bugged out when I had to run it as a follower dungeon but didn’t get any followers. :smiley:

But I’m just letting people know that they are being every bit as selfish as the person that wants to leave if they don’t get their drop.

And pointing out that the only reason the debuff exists in the first place is because you can, in fact, be held hostage in a queued dungeon.

That’s what I call “My Famous and Fabulous Dry Cure.”
Tanks that assume that if they pull the entire room I should regenerate enough mana to continue pulling.
Tanks who don’t know what they should know, and who don’t have the healer’s mana bar activated on their screen.
I don’t know what they expect, that I carry my backpacks full of health potions and give them dps. A ridiculous attitude.
Healing “Bran Bronzeheard” style, that leaves potions on the floor.

They probably should. :stuck_out_tongue:

People acting like hitting the queue button is a legally binding promise to carry them through the full run. :slight_smile:

That would be amazing! If you want to be selfish and only think about your own gearing efficiency, then you can queue up for delves / follower dungeons. If you want to screw over other players, then you deserve an effective punishment.

honest question? are you seriously needing to drink in normal and heroic dungeons?

i mean they already have a behavior contract, it wouldnt surprise me if eventually they have an lfg contract.

I’ll just be glad when 0s open up and I can put the cluster of fairy tales and made-up complaints that is LFD behind me.

Much worse than anything that happens within any LFD dungeons is the whining that spawns on the forums over it.

I agree. I never got vote kicked before Remix. I was leveling a paladin. Got into a dungeon and we started as usual. Didn’t say anything, just playing like usual, and within a minute I was vote kicked. Literally did nothing wrong and got punished for it. First time in my whole WoW life getting vote kicked, so I didn’t even know it gave your the debuff. Though I did know you got it if you voluntarily left.

I dunno. After that, I kinda think you should have to be vote kicked more than once in, say, an hour before getting the debuff. If you’re getting vote kicked multiple times in an hour it’s pretty clearly something you’re doing. If it’s just once, I dunno, could be unfair harassment or something.

Still don’t know what the deal was with that vote kick. Don’t know if they were just doing it for dooks and giggles or if they were boosting an alt and didn’t want another player around, I dunno. The thought even hit me later that it could even be that my character was a black female human. All I know is I didn’t have a weird name, I didn’t say anything, and I was playing right, and I got booted in under a minute.

Not usually. With those who kicked me yesterday or the day before, yes. It was a single pull from entry to before the 2nd boss and yes, in that case I needed it. None of the 4 used their defensives (not even the tank) and the lock didn’t even put stones.
