Chances are if he said he was going to wait he would have been votekicked. LFG is mob rule. Keep quiet, don’t fall behind, and get out as quick as you can.

Blame a couple things here. First, the gods-forsaken 8s CD on every dispel. That’s one of the worst changes Blizzard has made to this game. Second, DPS with interrupts that can’t interrupt the cast that pops the debuff in the first place. Don’t solely blame the healer. They have enough to deal with. There are times where debuffs go to the entire party and I have to pop every imaginable CD to keep everyone topped off. There are times where interrupts happen on those, and I’m bored. I don’t mind the play either way, but I don’t need to dispel things to heal the damage off.

There really isn’t anything to this though. This whole narrative of “how dare someone call for a democratic vote where at least 60% of the group need to agree to kick someone” is… ridiculous.
If you want to opt for the “Do a nice thing for others”, then why wasn’t the other people in the group considered? They wanted to do a quick dungeon before they had to go, presumably, and one group member kept dying and not helping them. Why is it that the one player getting kicked by a fair and democratic vote gets treated as more important than the players who just wanted to finish the dungeon?
This is why this whole narrative isn’t reasonable in any way shape or form, realistically speaking.
OP, you are bothered by this due to your upbringing telling you it is rude to treat people this way. Thank your parents, they did a great job.
Blizzard was raised by goblins and don’t care about feelings, they want your money and if it costs you some tears then so be it.
This is thread #8508783 on the issue and /crickets from Blizzard. Don’t expect any changes.
Their playground, their rules.
Good luck!

Yeah, being kicked from a dungeon is one thing, but the name calling should’ve been left out.
The only thing I can think of is adding a few seconds before the vote can go through so people can read the read the reason.
If people see “pizza” or “random letters” is the vote kick reason instead of clicking to instantly remove the box, maybe less ‘bad’ votes will go through.
I mentioned something similar. In FFXIV, they have a droplist of reasons and kicks in that game are rare. When I play WoW, I see a kick every other day, and legit reasons are rare.
Then again, XIV’s community is not as atrocious as this one, so that may be a factor in the difference.

That’s been the idea going around: put a 5 second countdown on the yes button.
I think it’s ridiculous that there are people who mindlessly hit yes. Like who does that??
“Oh look, a pop up from some random website I’m surfing, I’m not going to read it, I’ll just hit yes to get it out of my way… OMG WHY IS MY COMPUTER HACKED?!”
But if this is the world we live in… then put the timer countdown on it.

I think even those would be rare.
Well, according to the forums, that’s what people do all the time. 
The stupid thing is, there are some people on this forum who will swear black and blue that nobody does that. I mean, seriously? There are actually people out there who believe that there is absolutely nobody who is lazy or just want to quickly clear their screen of a giant popup right in the middle of combat???

I am lazy. But I don’t mindlessly hit yes to anything. I hit no if I don’t know what it is. That’s engrained in my head, though. Common sense isn’t so common, unfortunately.
I just don’t understand why it’s so hard to hit no instead of yes to get a box out of their way.
Speaking of which, how small are there screens for it to be giant? Because it isn’t even that big on a 1080p resolution, and it is still able to do the dungeon and ignore the vote-kick popup on the same resolution.
I suspect the reason is people just assume that it was a justified VTK. Like if someone gives a reason of “afk” even though nobody is afk, people will just hit the yes button because nobody likes an afk’er. It’s stupid but there you go.
Remove LFD, let’s just put an end to this. The problem is people relying on a computer to build their groups for them, eliminate this and these threads disappear.

For me, if I don’t notice something going on, then it clearly isn’t an issue, so I’d just hit no.
But… I rarely see vote kicks. I saw one not long ago for someone who was disconnected at the front of the entrance for a while. Outside of that… I honestly can’t remember when I saw another one. Seems my Timewalking groups have been chill.
Think that’s grossly over simplifying the situation where someone wasn’t aware of the check point travel point and how people didn’t want to wait 2-3 minutes, but sure it’s continuously dying and non-contribution. Per the post, person died 1 extra time probably to a patrol, “continuously” is hardly correct.

Also, if your group is petty enough to kick at literally the tail end of the last boss, they certainly will kick the tank for refusing to cooperate.

You cant report a kick because blizz has stated the group can kick you for ANYTHING OR NOTHING. They dont have to play with you.
Theres nothing to report and no such thing as group kick abuse. Its fully allowed so making “Yet another” is just spam.
But clearly the dps was kicked for being a slow dunder head.
“Giant” was a bit of hyperbole but the point is that it’s an annoying popup that blocks a good chunk of screen real estate. This combined with if you’re in the middle of combat when it happens usually results in someone getting annoyed that it exists in the first place. So they’ll just assume it’s a justified VTK and click yes.
I’d wager most players are using 1440p resolution. 4k isn’t easy to do unless you have a particularly high end GPU.
