That cameo on the Warcraft movie was soo cool. lol.
I thought the wifes game made the murloc noise but it was just a short part of the movie.

Id love if they made a series of movies based on the actual timeline of Azeroth.

Yeah as soon as I saw “out of combat for 5 minutes to be counted ask,” I was like nah

Personally, working in a corporation myself, I think that “Blizzard would not dare be held responsible for deciding” is more on track.
I think that Blizzard could if they wanted to but im sure the corp. lawyers are waving red flags like crazy at that thought.

:musical_note: Who knows? They are always playing Corporation games… :notes:

woulda been epic if you T-mogged the Murloc onesie for that post!

I can see why they dont take tickets…likely more then they want to handle

BUT…

they COULD just say that while they WONT take tickets that abusing players for no good reason with the vote kick IS NOT ENCOURAGED or SANCTIONED by Blizzard.

That way AT LEAST the abusive kickers dont have blizzard to scapegoat anymore and cant hide behind blizzards policies for THEIR behavior

If I had realized they would start popping off like this I would’ve reported it instead of pitying said person. I chose not to because we both know they weren’t going to do anything save flap their gums. I’ve seen some pretty screwed up situations and people before during my time helping out with some youth programs and bits of missionary work, which is where part of the PTSD comes from. Guys like him think they’re hot stuff, but they’re little more than an ankle biting chihuahua that’s all bark and no bite.

The thread got locked and probably deleted, this was a few weeks ago at this point. I don’t even remember the exact title.

You don’t because there is nothing wrong with it. Players need to adjust their attitudes. There is no such thing as a “kick for no reason” just kicks for reasons they don’t like or agreement with. Adding exceptions will means everyone will claim an exception.

get kicked? Yes, it sucks, but do something else or jump on an alt.

Agreed. I think it’s absurd to spend way more than 30 minutes dwelling, stewing, and raging about something that is most likely a one-off situation for any one individual. It’s even wilder to rage on behalf of internet strangers who are most likely not being fully honest about their situation.

I mean, even the blue post says we can kick “for any reason or no reason at all.” So I’m sure it exists.

And yes, it’s a player created problem. One I believe isn’t common and isn’t systemic. I ask a lot in different server chats how often people are getting kicked. Thus far, the majority of answers are “People get kicked?” or “I may have been kicked once a long time ago?” And the ones that have seen recent kicks said they were justified. A few said they ate a couple day bans for it, because of their language. Of course, those weren’t their fault. lol But majority across a few large pop servers seems to be it ain’t really happening.

I feel that if it were, Blizz would have done something. Because they see the metrics. Just like they saw the leaving over that dumb trinket metric and acted accordingly.

Yep. Pretty much.

The problem is, I think, that it is fairly common for a tiny minority of people. The problem with that is those people think it’s a systemic problem, because they refuse to acknowledge that there’s probably a good reason they’re getting kicked that often.

This is true.

That guy’s name is literally Bait, posting on a level 13, obvious troll.

And you’re a big eared rat with a name that is against the rules.

Was a 19 twink that ran with a rogue named Switch. It’s just my forum toon.

That means any reason, even no reason, the group decides is valid. They don’t want the person there the person leaves.

Only if you’re kicked 3 times you can’t queue. Also Bnet wide. Keep it fair.

so…LMAO…reduce the abilty to ABUSE the system…then make it MORE ABUSABLE.

you HAD to know Id LAUGH out loud at this PREPOSTEROUS suggestion lol

I believe there should be (And there used to be) recourse for bad faith kicks, but with that said, I find it working well compared to how things used to be.

Some of you might not be old enough to know / remember it
