They can’t even fix Gallagio rep, I’m not worried about CS and the admin team talking… That sounds like work.
Do you think things are done on a technicality?
If you have to “check the baby” once, that’s whatever.
When you’ve done it ten more times, you’ve built up a pattern of behavior, especially when people report you for being AFK.
It’s the same reason why Blizzard used to not do anything about you killing someone in the open world but would do something if you kept following them around and repeatedly killing them. They don’t really apply this policy anymore because open world PvP isn’t really a thing, but the point is that they action on trends and patterns of behavior, not a single incident.
Even if there is no reason not to vote anything but Yes, its still the predecent that is set that the group has come to an agreement.
Thats what matters.
It’s not an agreement. It’s still just one person deciding that the key is over.
Some people might be stubborn enough to vote no but the key is still dead the moment that vote comes up.
So it’s the same system we had before but with the potential to waste more time.

Lol you actually think blizzard is gonna check all that? Not to mention I’m obviously not gonna use the same excuse every time I need to bail on a key. Lol your delusional is you think this will negatively affect people intent on leaving a failed key.

Blizzard doesnt think things thru before they issue more heavy handed moderation stuff.
They literally believe they can punish/threaten/scare people into playing their games they way they decide.
People will just move on and blizz sub numbers will continue to plummet.
The solution is to stop punishing the key holder. Just let the run end and start it over.
Depleting keys is bad game design .

I believe the qualifier Blizzard gave was “when the timer runs out.”
In no scenario would Blizzard ever expect you to sit in a dungeon for over an hour. It was never going to happen, and anyone who suggested otherwise is appealing to an extreme lol
If the vote passes, then yes, the group decides that the key is over.
There is nothing wrong with a Vote Abandon vote that passes. It restores the keyholders key, it allows a do-over if the people want to stay, and it allows people a way to leave without getting penalized.
In more instances than not it will be utilized in these instances where these things need to occur.
The issue is that with WoW players they’ll just assume malicious intent for everything so they elect to do nothing since there is some perceived scenario where it could be used maliciously. It could, but that risk does not outweigh the risk of just doing nothing and letting the problem continue. Its better to address an issue than to ignore it.
I would rather someone take steps to correct an issue then ignore an issue. This first iteration might not be the perfect solution, but its them addressing that there is an issue, and this is the first step to try and address it.
Yeah, I am aware, but some people here say if too many people leave after the timer, that should be eliminated too.

If the vote passes then one person deciding the key was over was enough to convince everyone to end it.
If the vote fails and 1 or 2 people give up and go on autopilot then the key is failed because one person decided it was over and killed morale by voting to end it.
In either situation one person made the decision to make the act that ended the key, you just waste more time in the second scenario.

“Blizzard bans parent for checking their baby”.
Honestly, you should apply to Blizzard, you’d help destroy their legacy with the PR nightmare that would create.

Its actually quite easy to do a forum crawl to look at all the delightful things you’ve typed about how you’re gonna try and skirt the rules to negatively impact other people since you’ve established you don’t like this new system. Thats just tip of the iceberg.
These people really think they can prove malicious intent in an online game

The champions of “You can’t report me for playing poorly” are now all in favor of reporting people for sabotage if they play poorly.
This is going to work out great for everyone I’m sure.

You haven’t done anything wrong. Not yet, but you’re not doing yourself any favors.
I don’t know. They’ve taken action on accounts for far less, though, so I wouldn’t be so confident that you’re as subtle as you think you are.
Okay. You can come up with any excuse you want. If you’re repeatedly coming up with excuses to AFK from the game after a vote to abandon or when the key is falling apart, Blizzard is going to understand that for what it is.
Nobody’s checking on their baby, homeslice, and nobody with an ounce of common sense is going to perceive the excuse as valid if it’s being abused ad nauseam when things aren’t going the person’s way.
We have a children’s story about this sort of thing. It’s called The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
The brownshirt approach isn’t really improving images.

LMAO I called your bluff is what I did
What bluff? We aren’t in a key right now.
If we were in a key and you went afk multiple times citing “baby duty” to the extent that it caused the group to disband then yes, I would screenshot your forum posts here and would 100% submit a report.
There is no bluff here.
