Kick Griefing is out of control

It’s out of control.

Not just in random dungeons, but also premade previous expansion raids.

Raid “leaders” kicking people at random and griefing people out of their weekly lockouts on their farms across several characters.

Blizzard needs to punish these people, so that they don’t think it’s fine to do this.

While this topic comes up very often and is labelled by players as “griefing” it doesn’t constitute such as groups are empowered to manage their own members through the vote-kick system. If the majority of the group feels a player should be removed, they can initiate a vote-kick to remove them. The system is entirely under the control of our players. Players may choose to remove any other player from the group for any reason, provided the vote to kick passes.

Note: Groups formed outside of the queue system (Guild Runs, Mythic +, etc.) will not utilize the vote-kick system. Instead those groups will have one party leader that controls who gets invited or removed. You chose to trust the raid leader, that’s too bad.

If they otherwise harassed you through another way, like in chat you may report them for that. But kicking for any or no reason itself is not against the rules so far yet and Blizzard will not take any action as its not against any rules.

Proposals so far include but not limited to:

  • “Just remove it” The darkest times will come back again. Where players may need to wait hours before their dungeon can start/finish while prio roles can keep requeuing for their desires roles due protections removed.
  • “Reduced cooldowns stacking upwards” so that if you aren’t kicked often, it starts with a minor debuff.
  • “Reduced cooldowns, stacking downwards” so if you’re in a “good” party, then when they surprisepikachu kick you at the end the cooldown is lower.
  • “Warning before Debuff” - When you get removed from dungeon you get a Warning but allows you to requeue, if you get kicked again you get debuffed on subsequent leaves.
  • “Add reporting for kicking” - This is akin FF where they investigate if someone is really, really using votekick so often and gets reported for it that often as well. WoW used to do this.

If you have a proper suggestion, you may submit it through the ingame feedback box. If it’s a new or better suggestion I may also add it to my list above :>
