This is very hard to believe… But I will humor it.
If they have these rules for their child, and their child gets upset to the point of tears for being removed from a group in the game, then he should not be playing the game. I feel the same would apply for any online game. They have restrictions on their child, which can unintentionally negatively impact other’s gaming experiences. Additionally if their child is that emotional, over some negative friction from other players in a game, then they are too immature to play the game.
At the end of the day, this is what the online gaming community is. When under the protection of anonymity, people treat each other pretty horribly. Aside from that, it is not other player’s responsibility or duty to play around children, who have rules set by their parents about how they can play.
In this possible scenario, votekick was abused. In many, many others, votekick is not abused and is working as intended. This falls into that category of acceptable collateral damage. With a system like votekick, there will inevitably be some unwarranted kicks. But, as long as the vast majority of those kicks are necessary, the small amount of unwarranted ones is acceptable. Should the ratio change, then they may change something.
But to reiterate. The child was playing under rules set by their parents. The child was also not emotionally mature enough to be playing an online game with a community. At the end of the day, the child shouldnt have been playing WoW in a group, or potentially at all.
