I frikken hate Classic… it’s tedious, boring with outdated graphics… but as much as I hate it, I hate BFA more.
…not a mention it was faster to push with current group, than waste time finding another player.

While I appreciate the elaborate answer, that isn’t the problem in this case. I wasn’t kicked cuz “I was going slow”. I was kicked because it was funny to them I guess? I joined an in progress violet hold and yeah, just got kicked as soon as I was able to be kicked which is like 3 min after joining. I assume they did that to a couple of people before me too. It’s stupid that I get a dungeon deserter for no reason and they just keep going like nothing happened.
In general this isn’t too widespread (random kicks without reason) usually there’s a reason.
I’m actually impressed ATM with TWing, I’ve been Qing it on my lock whilst levelling her in legion content and despite the fact I’m occasionally falling behind the leaptastic DH and monk tanks and clearly sub 120 without essences, I haven’t been kicked once.
Even in the Air Plane dungeon today I wasn’t kicked when the priest levitated the group to help us safe fall from a jump but they buffed me at the wrong moment and it caused me to fall off the edge instead despite cancelling it. Missed the entire last boss and not a kick in sight. Maybe they felt guilty, but I honestly expected them to kick me and blame me instead of fessing up. Pleasantly surprised.

No, there literally was no reason at all. Completely random.
Were you pre-dotting the mobs before the tank had agro on them? I know some tanks can be really petty about stuff like that.
Then maybe it was just organized groups, maybe someone getting powerleveled. Maybe someone paid to get powerleveled and because you didn’t pay, you get kicked. I don’t think people should get a full 30 minute deserter for getting kicked. I think a 10 minute one would be enough.
Mobs didn’t even spawn.
Huh? you said you did.

I just recently leveled 2 chars up doing mostly dungeons. What i learned is: You keep your mouth shut, do your role, let the tank do the pulling or he/she will leave or kick you, dont do anything stupid (like die) and you will be fine. Most people now a days are there for a quick in and out and go again.

Forcing others to free boost you never ended well.
What if the tank or heal go afk? You cant even start/continue the dungeon.

So let me get this right … You go afk and everyone else should just carry your butt? Sure it sucks to get kicked, but people dont kick just for fun, either you somehow cause it … pulled stuff tank wasnt pulling, spammed recount of your mighty dps, or just started namecalling, there is always a reason someone is kicked.

Yes, they do.

How about if a vote to kick is initialised - that the reasons for the kick must be stated “within 30 seconds” and then the “kickee” at least has a chance to ask/defend themselves. Then another vote and If after defending themselves they’re still wanting to kick them it happens.
So the whole process takes longer - but there was a time where it could take hours to find a replacement.
I’d happily add 2-3 mins per dungeon to try and ensure fairness.
I just leveled this character from 20 to 100 doing only LFD and I was never kicked once. In fact, the only time someone was kicked it was a tank that was really bad at his job.
If you got kicked so many times you are probably hiding a part of the story.

No.
I lvled an alt char through TW last night, I saw 9 people get kicked. One of them was “bad tank” but the kick was against a dps.
Do you realize the 4 other people in the group aren’t bots? They are living human beings with their own time and problems. What do you mean you wanna be in and out? You’re fine with people just randomly going AFK and holding the rest of the group down? Your tank goes AFK, you’re done. If you’re trying to tell me you’re okay with that, you’re full of crap.

The fix is to remove player kick system and have a kick that goes off automatically for low activity within the dungeon.
So an AFK person (who hasn’t had any activity within the dungeon for a certain amount of time) will be auto removed, anyone actually playing won’t be.
Activity will be based of a mixture of things like movement and attacks made against enemies (so you couldn’t just afk and move a character every minute to not get kicked)
Also make bosses not give loot if you didn’t attack them, and mobs not grant xp if too far away from them.
No thanks. Rather have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. If there’s an AFK’er from the get-go I am sure as hell going to kick them.
“Leave”? Did you forget the 30 minute debuff already?
