Most of Wow’s problems is because of the jerks who play it! 
I’ve been there a couple of times, it sucks.
I just hope you had another toon to play on meanwhile, not much else to do about it.
one or two times getting kicked is fine .you are saying it has happened more times ?
there must be something that is triggering people .i normally do tw dungeons when i reach maximum level and i have done alot of these tw dungeons and i dont remember getting kicked out
Happens to the best of us.
The reason why: is that you would never have done the same to someone else, that’s why you got kicked.
When you start doing the same to others, when it does happen to you, you won’t care (it would be as if you never got kicked).
I will now forever cherish the thought of you sitting back with a digit firmly up your nose saying “well. There goes another half hour.”
“OH wait don’t pull yet I got a good fingerful here!.. cmon… comn… THERRRRE WE GO! Ok good to go…”
OP sniffs and bats his nose like Bolo Yeung in Bloodsport before hitting his keys
ah, yes yes. you came across a bunch of “no running ahead of tank” it´s crazy I know. they prob thought you were a speeder and they just wanna play the game like real dungeon crawler.
Never an excuse to kick someone. And Iv’e seen some belters for the reason in the box that pops up that pretty much everyone hits “YES” to just get rid of it.
Most recent one that deserved an instant “no” was “I don’t like his nickname”.

It’s a weird situation. The majority of problems indeed is because of jerks. But the game systems themselves are designed in such a way that not only is jerk behaviour not curbed, they’re designed to ensure that jerk behaviour is optimal. In essence, jerks see that being jerks gets them ahead of non-jerks, and this spreads through the community eventually. And when something is being done against jerk behaviour, it is seen as totalitarianism and “fun detected”.
The option to vote no is immediately available. If you want to vote yes, you have to wait.

very nice read.
There is no perfect system. You could have GMs having to come to every vote kick and investigate and decide if the person deserves to be kicked or not, and people would complain that the GMs aren’t doing it properly.

I’ve did a fair few of those TW dungeons and never been kicked.
I bet you’re one of those hero dps that pulls everything and justifies it because you were top dps. You may see it as fine but you’re spoiling others enjoyment of the game.

TBF, I feel you and agree but there is plenty to be doing over 30 mins that beats nose picking.
The current system just encourages toxic/elitist behaviours.
I have two suggestions:
Option 1
Provide specific options given as limited choices when kicking someone. Such as:
- Abusive behaviour
- Deliberate Sabotage
Those are the only two reasons someone deserves to be kicked imo. Not because they may be slower than you’d like or don’t DPS enough.
There should also be a warning on the pop-up vote that gives a message similar to:
By removing this player from your group, they will not be able to re-queue for other group content for 30 minutes. Are you sure you want to remove this player?
Option 2
Make it like LFR content where you need a set amount of players to initiate the kick and not give people the pop-up vote option. This removes the feeling of wanting to conform to others’ requests or not wanting to stand out. It may also encourage open dialogue such as the first person to start may then tell the group to do the same and will give the targeted player a chance to respond/improve.

I got kicked cause two premades tried to kick a dk dps who was second on the dps meter , then i said" guys why random kicks?" and then after the dk got kicked cause our tank is braindead and just press “yes” , i got kicked too after another random dps joined.
Kicks in tw is trending a lot if your a tank or a healer , you think “there must be something wrong you did” but you don’t understand that the community is toxic and clueless and like to abuse the system.

That sounds like half a story. If i had to guess, the DK dps that was second was probably high ilvl and just coasting/bad.
It’s a joke to think that every kick just falls out of the sky.
Let me give an example, i’ve only been kicked once in a hc dungeon this expansion. Was a priory first boss, the dps decided they would pull boss and his captains. I just watched them die lol.
“omg tank get aggro” lmao
They kicked me, not my fault but i understand the reason. There is always a reason, justified or not
your too pure for this gaming community my friend , alright answer me than , why did they kick me ? i was healing and none died , it was not even the first boss of deadmines , that’s just the first hallway ?
I’ve been playing a long time and i know the community well. The pug/“toxic” side lol.
Probably because you just stood around waiting for more people to heal when you should have been dpsing. I imagine there wasn’t much dmg needing healing and you just stood there.
What do you mean probably ? there is no probably , i know better what happened than you do lol , kicking someone cause the healer don’t dps ? nah your just being a karen right now my friend , i know how to play the game and i did dps with my sunfire as a low level druid and i was competing with the dps , cause of the scaling , since healers at low levels can top the dps charts if you play the right class , no excuses here , people are toxic , they kick for no reason.
I mean, i don’t believe you.
It’s such a dumb take to claim someone would kick for no reason. But enjoy being kicked then coming here to lie about it. Record a whole run next time where you get kicked for no reason.
I bet you’re the same person that claims people leave your keys for no reason when you underperform or someone does something stupid. The fact you hide on an alt already proves what kind of player you are.
Perhaps. But they don’t always share their reasoning.
Plenty* of ppl initiate a vote kick but gives no reason. Plenty* of these don’t say anything in chat before or after they initiate the kick.
Do they have reasons for making the vote? I sure hope so, otherwise they’re being richards about it. Are those reasons good? How can you know if they don’t disclose it (and also, the answer is always going to be “no” if we disagree with their reasoning)
And in the very few cases where a vote kick comes with a reason, you (as the person getting kicked) won’t get to know it
*‘plenty’ as in every vote kick I have ever seen, and there haven’t been a whole lot of them in these past many years
