I was kicked from a celestial dungeon randomly (yes I may not be the best tank but not necessarily my fault if there’s a wipe if boss does a move I’ve never seen before). Without any discussion was kicked (again I guess fair in scenario), however I then get dungeon deserter so can’t do more despite the fact I didn’t “abandon” the dungeon.
Blizzard, please look at this.
a 20 year old problem they dont fix…
Since the beginning of time, this has been a problem. You have to accept that it exists, but there’s nothing we can do about it. Try not to get yourself kicked out of the group, but if there are people in there who kick people out just for the sake of it, then unfortunately there’s nothing you can do about it. Chin up, bro.
I grew to be quite skeptical over the years spent here, thus I no longer tell for sure whether you are trolling or simply being new to WoW Classic.
As others mentioned, this is long time issue since it’s introduction when WotLK (if I’m not mistaken) was latest expansion, thus WoW Classic had this mechanism as well.
I actually never encountered random kick for no reason while playing through “vanilla” classic and first two expansions, then suddenly things became wild in Cata Classic, where people were tossing random kick for no reason left and right, apparently just for fun.
If you would actually use search function on WoW Classic Forums to look up for “Dungeon Deserter”, you would see that there are many topics about this issue already where players complain about abuse of this function.
Official statement is that this is not an issue at all, since players have rights to initiate vote kick for any and no reason, and you are obliged to accept the situation where you were placed under 30 minutes lock-out from dungeon finder, even though you did nothing to deserve the kick and deserter debuff.
What Dalteon said is true above me, it’s an intended feature and not a bug the “Deserter Debuff’ is aptly named such but it applies to any form of early ending the dungeon run.
Because players would take the dungeon hostage until they were kicked and then instant requeue, it was also applied to being votekicked as result of many trial and errors of penalising players attempting to game the system we have today.
If you have suggestions to improve it, they’re all ears. But each and every other one is either abuseable or even worse than the current one we have at the moment.
Edit: This was also recently raised on the US CS forums where the answer and examples are the same.
