30 minute deserter debuff for being a dead healer

So in a dungeon, this tank didnt care to pick up aggro on mobs and let the healer , me, die.

Than proceeds to run of and start fighting mobs and he dies and gets rest of team killed. Next step they votekick the healer, me, who gets a 30 minute deserter debuff because tank let me die.

And there is no option to report this abuse of supprot systems in game, and blizz thinks its fine to let innocent people get the penalty for others failures.

Hey Zilvestram,

Sorry to hear that this happened to you, it doesn’t sound like you had a very patient group.

Being kicked from a dungeon will apply the Deserter debuff. This was originally implemented to prevent players from abusing the game, where they would force their group to kick them to avoid the debuff by leaving themselves, if they got a dungeon they didn’t like (if memory serves, this was done back when the Occulus came out).

That being said, if you have any feedback or ideas on how to change this, you’re always welcome to send them to our developers.

Good luck with your next dungeons!

In other cases, I have been kicked just before las boss for no reason. I still get the damn debuff and isn’t this just trolling? Anti-troll automation allows other types of trolling. At least implement some kind of logic to at least remove time from the debuff on each boss kill. I would instead have waited for 5 mins or so instead of the whole 30m. 15mins in dungeon, then 30m more just to queue. This can be easily adjusted since we cannot avoid trolls 100%. Thank you for your time.
