(He died the moment I got teleported from dungeon) with no wipes or deaths in dungeon, I was tank.
Guess I am just interested in hearing others’ opinions on this. This caught me by total surprise. I reached out to the healer who said they saw a vote to kick for afk or pulling too fast, but agreed that no one had asked me to slow down. I guess my thought is, maybe the vote to kick option needs to be rethought about how it is implemented? Maybe the WoW client could see that no one has DC’d and the person they are voting to kick is very much so - active, and hey, we’re on the last boss and the boss is about to die. It just seems like a very shady way of saying “f you and you don’t get your queue-up goodies” - and all this after I said right before pulling the final boss I’d be queueing again and people could tag along for the tank queue timer (with the healer also joining) for a quick queue.
Ah well, damned if you do, damned if you don’t, or something. Thoughts on limiting when vote to kick can reasonably be used? I genuinely liked the group and thought the overall thing was going great, so genuinely just a bit bummed and think maybe it needs to be reworked.
Yes, another one of these threads.

Someone was being spiteful towards you.
You can’t initiate a vote kick during combat, so the vote kick went out prior to the boss being pulled.
Someone must have sat on it (i don’t know how long it lasts, probably at least a minute), waited for the dungeon to almost be over, then accepted just to kick you last second.

I don’t know but at least three of those people voted to kick you lol
Oh you can absolutely kick someone mid boss fight.
I had to do it in necrotic wake because a silly boomkin kept taking the hook as far from the boss as possible.
Ignored chat, whispers and pings FOR 5 MINUTES.
So I initiated a kick mid combat.

Yeah which really surprises me. No one said a thing the whole dungeon, I checked the chat logs. Super quiet. Idk what was going on.
It could happen. Becoz I saw someone left the group when my Tank left him as the Tank was superfast.
If more people dislikes the superfast. instead of them to leave, they votekick out the guy responsible for superfast runs.
I don’t care of people’s dramas. I just melt everything what Tank pulls regardless if everyone is slow or fast.

Sounds spiteful, purposeful and intentional. I’m sorry that RDF put you with such people.

And naturally they clicked OK to kick because WoW community 
Sorry these things happen to you, I could say some version of this happened regularly enough to me when I was subbed that it’s kinda like, “why bother?” So I don’t now

I don’t understand. Was it for AFK or was it for pulling too fast? Those are two entirely different things.
That’s one heck of an algorithm you want them to run for one specific incident.
Yep, you can.
There are too many scenarios that can happen and Blizzard isn’t going to police them all. There’s no way to determine what is and isn’t okay in the moment on Blizzard’s end. Nor should they, because they’re not the ones in the run. This is our agency over random people.
The best we can do is a couple of tweaks:
- Reduce the debuff to 15 minutes
- Put a countdown timer of 5 seconds on the “yes” button so people stop being dumb and mindlessly hitting “yes.”

I mean I get you lol but I’ve done at least a dozen of these so far this week, not changing my methods at all and no kick leading up. Ah well. Maybe they mean to kick someone else and misclicked orrrr maybe they said I was afk to try to fool others. Ah well, they know deep down how sad they are. I still got dungeon completion credit at least, just not the 10 whole TW badges lol I would hate for this to be someone’s first experience with WoW, though. Been here for 17 years now myself, I’m not so easily phased anymore, but a brand new player? That would be a shame.
Right, I don’t understand either, healer told me they saw something about AFK or pulling too fast, maybe they saw both, idk lol but none of it was in party chat, they were bewildered for sure.
And yeah I get it, it would be an algorithm. I daresay not quite as complex as some of the mythic raid bosses, but I get it. It’s just a general idea that maybe they look into, maybe they don’t, I won’t lose sleep over it.
And to your last point: I totally agree. Honestly think this was a case of people mindlessly hitting yet without reading who it was for and for what.
I honestly don’t get why people just don’t hit “no” if they don’t know what’s going on. I never mindlessly hit yes on anything. That’s how I keep myself from being hacked or having stolen credit card information, etc. LOL
I think the countdown on the “yes” might help some of that problem.

Thats not possible you can’t be kicked when in combat
Either you were kicked before that or after that or you all dced
Someone already stated how this is possible.
No one DC’d, healer confirmed group was still there.
I realized at the ending the reason I stopped getting healed was probably because of the kick and realized then in the chat log that I’d been removed from group exactly 1 minute before we killed the boss. Good thing the boss took exactly 1 minute to kill. lol Guessing the vote went out within seconds of the pull.
Pretty sure the second boss combat (or any combat) is initiated, the vtk is immediately cancelled.
So I am calling shenanigans.
I think it should show after the kick who started it and the said kick reason. Just the other day I saw someone start a kick on the tank and the reason was Don’t like the Xmog. No one agreed to kick but ya that’s such a goofy reason.
