Kicked from group and deserter debuff

[Jedibleeder-aggra-português]

Hello, My char Jedilegolas-Draenor was kicked from a heroic Ara-Kara dungeon group a few minutes ago without any explanation. On top of that am automatic 30m ban was applied to the char saying I left the group which is a lie. I was kicked from the group. This is a completely stupid system. I’m kicked from a group and get a ban?

Explain !!!

The group doesn’t need to give you any reason for a kick. As soon as it goes through, it is deemed a valid kick.

You left the group through a votekick and received a debuff. It’s not a ban, but yes, essentially you are unable to requeue for any PVE content.

The debuff itself has been part of the system almost since the Vote to Kick system was introduced. It became an unfortunate necessity as certain players would urge the group, by request or by being a nuisance, to vote them out in order to avoid receiving a deserter debuff.

Proposals so far include but not limited to:

• “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. I also would like to know to see if the suggestion can be improved making it into a better experience for everyone involved.
