Yeah, I agree. I can only remember once or twice when a tank took my group hostage unless we kicked. I really wish there was a better system because people who get frivolous kicks and deserter on top is just adding insult to injury.
I really want to know what you all are doing to get vote to kick so often that this needs to come up as often as it does. I think out of the entire time playing WoW I was kicked from a group -maybe- 10 times in 14yrs. Thats because I was either afk to long or probably for being snarky or getting into an argument with someone and it happened to pass.
Nothing. They claim they do nothing and when someone disagrees they get their posts flagged.
I realise youâre very emotional about this but take a step back and think about what youâre asking for there. You want blizzard to spend a lot of money hiring, and then develop a system that does not currently exist, purely for the purpose of policing peopleâs behaviour. You want an enforcement solution to a social problem. You want everyone to behave just how you find acceptable or else someone in charge needs to come in swinging. Think for a moment where that sort of environment ends up.
Blizzard have been paring back the maintenance costs and resources, they have zero interest in going backwards. They want to spend their time and money on future development. Theyâve given us the best tools they can think of to take care of ourselves. People donât have to play with us if they donât want to, and vice versa.

You canât abuse v2k and itâs not harassment

Take these reports of getting kicked for no reason with a grain of salt. Nobody ever thinks that they are doing anything wrong or that they are the cause of problems.

Greyhide linked this above, but Iâm going to link it again as it is very pertinent to this discussion and recent:
Itâs good to discuss things, but keep some of these points in mind like a group can kick for any reason or no reason. Itâs not fair, but it wonât ever be fair. If the debuff was removed there would be a lot of nightmares and still make it worse, while people would continue to get kicked every once in awhile.
By the way, this is my take. This is an MMO with millions of people. Part of an MMO is the social interactions like when we join groups. Some of those interactions will be positive, but some will be negative and that is part of having social interactions. They canât and shouldnât even try to police it, unless it is a huge, widespread problem which if it was Iâm sure they would step in.

It already does exist, and they already do it with Overwatch. Which does NOT have a subscription fee, and btw itâs a multi-billion+ dollar company. I am not emotional, so donât resort to trying to trying to belittle me or any of my problems.

Yall know what you should do if you get kicked for apparently no reason? Get some ice cream.
Ice cream is definitely a problem solver. Just sit back, eat a little bit. Youâll notice your worries will just melt away (hehe) and go back for round two.

Iâve only had one post of mine in these new forums flagged when someone disagreed. I found it quite odd that enough people thought an opinion was bad enough to flag but now I understand what happened. Thatâs why I try to tread lightly and I often sneak out of topics once the heat kicks up.
I would, but Iâm lactose intolerant and those Lactaid pills are not cheap.

I was running tw dungeons with a guildie tank yesterday and got vote kicked 3/4 of tje way through the dungeon. I was pulling #1 on damage, hadnât said a word and the whole dungeon was running perfectly smooth. My guildie said over discord they were trying to vote kick me with the reason being âgrievanceâ. Of course the other 2 numbskulls in the group vote yes and Iâm kicked. I then whisper the member that initiated the vote and asked what the issue was. He said âif U dont kno then your to stupid to explainâ.
My recourse? I had the tank initiate a vote kick on him which passed.
Now go on and have yourself a scotch my good sir!
Sounds like you might have been pulling agro, or doing mechanics wrong. Doing number one in DPS means you need to watch how you manage agro especially if its a new tank or undergeared.

Well, then have yourself a scotch for being a good boy, my good sir.
And Iâm infiltrating the Magâhar people so I can understand their way of life. Its week two and Iâve still gone undetected. My mission continues.
