Kicked from group because I put a marker on tanks head!

I just found the solution,

You can only play tank classes if you are a certain race (biggest race per faction) so you can easily be spotted by healers.

Lore is screwed anyway, so doesnt matter if you can play a Draenei Druid :stuck_out_tongue:

Or just bring back Vengeance:
When the game sense you are tanking a dungeon or raid instance your size is increased by 33% so you stand out amongst your dps and healing buddies.

i’m the same, some might call it sad but it ruins my immersion, maybe if they updated the look of them to this century, something a little less obtrusive…
i’ve thrown hissy fits in bgs with my healer when someone put it on and you couldn’t remove it, don’t know if you can now…
i know for a fact that when you even ask politely for it to be removed they just ignore you,believe me, when i’m healing you don’t need to know whare i am, i will find you if you are in trouble…really, really hate those things…:frowning:
i’m not a kicker though, has to be really bad behavior for a yes vote from me, i’m a leaver, a shameless sulker sometimes…sorry…:stuck_out_tongue:

Don’t need threads like this.

Anyone can understand that this is least of the downsides of this automated system. Only reasonable solution would be to have moderators and that means more expenses which is a no no.

Wanna get rid of it fully? Sure, I’ll be the first one to join a group and AFK at entrance letting people clear it for me, because they can’t kick me.

There are aholes everywhere and believe it or not, to someone else’s perspective you are the ahole. Get over things like this, life will hit you with lots of these. Good luck and have fun, find the good parts like requeuing :smiley:

Really, was getting kicked worth another forum post? Nobody cares dude. People get kicked, and if everyone who was kicked made a post here about it, we’d see nothing else. So please, either start a personal blog, or next time you’re kicked, just breathe to 10 and resist the need to post about it on the forums.

I’ve seen people who mark others randomly without saying why and if you change which mark, or remove the mark, they go ballistic, sometimes verbally abuse others. We can’t know if you did this, although of course I’m assuming you didn’t.

I’ve tried vote-kicking others without reason just to see if the myth of ā€œeveryone just presses yesā€ really works and I’ve yet to see it actually work. So I think most people actually do vote properly. This means the party agreed they didn’t want marks. Did you insist upon it or just ask nicely, explaining why you need them?

I’m annoyed when I’m marked, because it covers some of my screen and is distracting. Plus, the person marking never picks smart marks imo - a skull on a tank makes zero sense, for example. A skull is for a priority target enemy, so I keep thinking a priority target is still alive when I see the skull.

I’ve also had slow days where I can’t keep up and needed marks. Never been kicked for it though. Try asking them, and if they agree, let them know they can change the mark you chose if they don’t like what you picked. That’s usually done the trick for me, and no one’s been upset so far! :smiley:
Good luck! Also, the forums don’t really like ā€œI was kickedā€ threads, so you might get a LOT of ā€œwho caresā€-replies.

Just wait and see till 8.3 hits,

And we get: Omg i got kicked because i flew into the giant worms while working on my new bis essences and i want Blizzard to do something about it.

That will be funny :smiley:

I got kicked once because I death griped a mob away from the tank.
/shrug
Some people have fragile egos and will try to punish you to feel temporary release from their insecurities.

That are just ALLIANCE PLAYERS aka full of self entitled just bad people in my opinion not all but this group exists and you see it so easily.

And i mean good for you i would avoid such kind of people.

What are you talking about ?
Never happend to me and i mean why would anyone did at max level random heroic dungeons in first place ?

Someone told me mean word irl all people are bad!

What punyelf doesn’t seem to understand is that the ignore system will not fix the problem even if it is actually working to stop grouping, firstly, it will make your own queues longer, secondly you do not know who kicked you and thirdly, it does not stop it just happening again and again to other people.

You say it like you log in and it happends log in again and again .
As for me who and why would anyone want to play with such people in first place ??

it most often happens to tanks and healers as they are the ones who sign for the in need bonus bags, and generally not to the same person all the time.

YE that is like ONLY reason to sign up for it and i tank/heal if i get kicked as tank/heal mostly ?? then move on go insta queue if not bag do not do.

you can’t instant queue because you are now locked out for 30 minutes.

thats basically 6 potential bags down the drain just because someone abused the report system to kick over basically nothing.

and if you are a high end tank, that holds up EVERYONEs queue

Nobody cares??
Seems 116 people do and if you do not care why do you even care to answer?

While it can still be infuriating, I managed to calm down a bit since I realized there’s an autism epidemic going on, and online gaming will have somewhat of an overrepresentation.
The effect will often be appearing as a big a-hole, but might be someone who is just pathologically unable to view things from someone else’s POV and thus becomes

  1. absurdly intolerant / very selfish
  2. unable to critically view their own actions in contrast to other people, thus not gaining any feedback on bad behavior. (Can lead to people living in an utter phantasy world where they are awesome when they’re the opposite.)

Awareness of such can turn at least some of that anger into sadness, and then you will send less energy into the entanglement of the situation and just move towards avoiding risk of exposure, especially where you can make no difference even if you wanted to.
I.e. do things with people you can trust. That is, after all, totally the norm in the world out there, too. Many people have their trusted circles because they are being burned so often if they engage with strangers, since society is so nuts and troubled.

Happens, people are unfair. Move on. Didn’t see much need for this post. Everyone kinda knows the vote-kick system needs a rework.

I ignore people left and right and my queues are not longer. It is my right not to group with people I have no fun with.
