So I kicked someone from TW

I know the thread is long, but that has been explained. Including just above you.

We don’t know who they were. They didn’t communicate. Neither did OP.

Why does anyone ever feel the need to come here and tell us about stuff?

Nope, and that’s my sticking point that I’ve been trying to talk about, but no one will. :frowning:

When and how do we ask so we don’t find ourselves in a position of getting kicked simply for asking? When is the person exhibiting poor behavior supposed to speak up and why does it all fall on us?

So did everyone else in this thread.

Ah… there it is. It’s okay for them to mooch, but not for anyone to kick them for mooching and having to deal with their mooching.

Maybe there is some kind of hidden extra ‘spice’ to the matchmaking, because the majority of groups I get into try to skip mobs where possible.

Though, in that wing of DM people were talking about, I do often see at least one group of plants pulled on tree man road.

Pretty much every run I’ve ever done in that wing has had someone booty pull at least one pack of stray trees. And then a hunter exists and the entire dungeon comes to play.

Surprisingly in the Anniversary event I only saw this once.

It was very funny. Would not have been funny a second time.

I’ll give it a go. Yea, I could have done it. But I didn’t.

One of the reasons is I don’t have a lot of faith that interacting with people I don’t know in this community will result in much more than being insulted even when I’m trying to be nice or at least sincere. This thread demonstrates a lot of why I feel that way about this community.

I’ve only had it happen twice, but one of those times it happened twice in the same run because it wiped us. Then wiped us again. lmao.

What, not a fan of taking things in stride and then having some self-righteous pomp tell you to stop taking it in stride because “erm actually we’re mocking you”?

:dracthyr_hehe_animated:

I don’t even hate a good burn as long as its clever. There’s several in here that have given me a chuckle.

Same. I’m a product of my dad’s upbringing. “Roll with the punches.”

There is no definitive answer to this, because it’s highly situational.

You ask when you feel it’s appropriate based on your judgement.

And then people on the forums call you all kind of names because they disagree with your judgment.

I get that. Which is why I wanted people to give their opinions on when and how to approach it.

What do we say? How do we word it so it doesn’t trigger someone into us getting kicked?

When should we wait? After the first boss? Second one?

Should we whisper or acsk in party chat? What sounds better to people?

I’m curious for a discussion on what others think.

There’s a simple solution to that.
Don’t post that nonsense on the forums looking for attention from people who wouldn’t agree on how to exit a wet paper bag?

To try and expand on this a little more. If I had said something to them I might have let my anger out and said something mean, or something that was perceived to be mean as many people read the things we say in text with very different tones sometimes. I might have been reported, which wouldn’t have been a big deal as long as I didn’t violate any rules.

I might have been baited into an argument and antagonized into saying something violating the social contract as many people here have attempted to pull out of me.

or I could play the safe route for myself and utilize the vtk system that blizzard put in place for us and know that I won’t get in trouble because I didn’t violate any rules.

I don’t always, but I do think I’ve talked about this a bit.

It’s always a gamble. Sometimes people know they’re doing poorly, and poking the sleeping bear isn’t going to help. Sometimes they don’t know, and they’ll actually be receptive. In neither case do I think they’re intentionally ruining it for the group, of course.

I think everyone will draw a line differently, which to what I assume your point is, is why we leave these decisions to a group vote. Personally, I rarely initiate for anything. It’s gotta be pretty egregious for me to initiate a vote kick.

This, though - always in party chat.

Whispers are for tight knit groups with investment in the social ramifications, not for randomly matchmade groups with limited time together.

I get the feeling the Sendryn has underdeveloped interpersonal skills, for any of a number of reasons (and this is not intended as shot against them, just an observation).

This kind of interaction with others is usually ingrained by kindergarten - you talk to someone with empathy and a mindset of how you believe they want to be treated as a person. If you act arrogant or belittling, they are likely to respond accordingly. Or, more succinctly: FAFO.

Sendryn’s probably got better interpersonal skills than I do, quite honestly.

I am cold, borderline cruel. Though I’m not comfortable saying I lack empathy, it often feels as though I do, from my own perspective.

This is just to say; what I said in that post is purely a clinical view of social interaction. Maybe that should scare you, I don’t know.

Very true.

Maybe, but you said it’s up to OP’s judgment when it’s appropriate or not, but you also said

So you obviously don’t believe it’s up to OP’s judgment on when it’s appropriate or not because you spent the entire day making it clear that your judgment of the situation is the only correct judgment.

Has this really evolved into how we all need to speak to one another? Holy smokes…

It can be an interesting topic.

For me, at least.
