DC Punishment To Stop Ragequitting

I’ve recently got back into wow, and toxicity/ DCs at the slightest inconvenience is tilting. I think players need to be punished/deterred from dicing prior to the end of dungeon. Ideally players should receive a “leaver” player status, which hosts view inside the request to join. Alongside this, players should have a threshold of premature DCs, before they receive this status. E.g. 3 DCs in 3 day period = 2 weeks leaver status

Playing wow and recalling the past two weeks, I have experienced countless DCs from players that don’t care about others. Notably, I receive 2-4 DCs every time I play (5 hour sessions of m+). And alarmingly, I once had consecutive DCs over a 2 hr 30 min period.

I wasn’t able to play the game in my limited, free time

Additionally many players I’ve talked to/ hear from online agree that disconnections are a massive problem. Frequently people in my experience will dc after any of the following conditions:
•1st death
•1 wipe (in keys where this is fine)
•timer finishes
•someone makes 1 mistake
•Spite/ trolling people because they “dislike” them

Overall, DCing has a negative impact for all players and punishes everybody else’s time asides from the offender. This is because we all play to gain flightstones, crests and the chance of good loot. But this often becomes impossible by a minority of players harming the majority. It is unfair for 1 to ruin 4 others time, and the game needs some simple prevention.

I hope this gains traction and we can all get a better game:)

Note: I consistently getting 1st, 2nd dps in m+, high interrupts, low deaths and watching videos on mechanics to make sure that i can provide for the team. (Before people say im the problem)

no we don’t. we need no key depletes… thats the real problematic part most of the time it’s better for you not to play with rage quiter anyway. the problem right now, system punishes you for that.

and you a like a pleb just want what everyone else also suffers if you do.

no lead abuse not risk dapletion then no 1 will run m plus anymore make it so fun timer risk reward time it so yes wont change it

So how do I not play with rage quitters then?

Dont pug//

I had someone ‘DC’ in a key yesterday, for the first time in I can’t remember how long.

If this is something that happens to you all the time, you need to look at the common denominator.

This will be tough to swallow but the common denominator is you.

This shows that you need learn / practice your class. Combine that with the fact that you’re missing quite a lot of player power from not having a single gem or enchant.

I’m not saying people DC’ing is right or acceptable, but if the group is full of underperforming people then sometimes people will just tap out. They want their 17 to be a quick run, not a dilemma.

Or their first death was due to DC, and the game just hadn’t registered the DC yet.
