In the last few dungeons, I witnessed players being kicked for basically no reason. This cancer from the old days is back, and I had forgotten it even existed when playing retail. A moment ago, they kicked a tank before the final boss in WC because he dared to stop and pick a few herbs for a quest that they had already completed.So not only did he fail to complete the dungeon, but he also got a 30-minute ban on top of that. Of course, he immediately logged out of the game. If I were in his place, I would have done the same.
When I asked why they kicked him, they just laughed and asked if I was his mother… On the one side, Blizzard acts like a progressive company in retail, but on the other, it allows players to be humiliated and bullied like this.
This system should be revised so that, first, every NO vote counts as a veto and a consensus of the entire group is required for a kick, and second, Blizzard should remove the 30-minute ban on logging into LFG.
Lvled 5 chars to 90, and 6 fresh chars to 80 for proffs in dungs only, in like 200+ dungeons didnt saw single kick for no reason. There allways was obvious reason.
Also leveled mostly only spamming dungeons and at whole tine there was couple kicks and those was because player was afk half of instance before even got vote kick.
I’ve been unfairly kicked a few times, but it is very rare.
If it happens once in a while = bad luck
If it happens often = you deserve it, you just don’t realize it
For example : many people probably won’t agree with me, but in my opinion, it’s perfectly reasonable to kick someone who has been afk for 2 minutes. Dungeons last only 15 minutes ; if you can’t play for 15 minutes straight, that’s on you, not on the other 4 people. If you know you’re gonna need to afk soon, then just don’t queue, for god’s sake. That’s very rude for the 4 other people.
A 2 minute wait is to much for you…
A 2 minute wait is to much for you…
And a 15 minute wait is too much for you.
Just go afk, do what you have to do, and queue when you’re done ; is that so difficult ?
Before queing to a dungeon, i always ask myself : “am i gonna need to AFK in the next 30 minutes” ? If the answer is “yes” or “maybe/probably”, i don’t queue, that’s as simple as that.
I try to respect other people’s time, that’s why i get upset when i encounter people who don’t act the same way.
2 min afk on a 15 min dungeon is more than 10% of AFK time, i don’t want to get people like this every run. I will keep votekicking AFK people and i really don’t think i’m the one being toxic here.
You are so incredibly self centered it’s crazy
Let me guess - you play a tank and have insta queues?
Try play a dps with maybe 20min+ queues
Then finally your queue pops and 7 min into the run - your doorbell rings
If I’m in a random dungeon group with you, I now face a kick + a 30 min penalty + another 20 min queue? Nah, completely toxic behavior imo.
I can agree with you as far as: if people start making dinner, doing laundry etc. mid dungeon run or are still at the entrance when you are ½ way through the run and haven’t said a word that’s not ok.
Also please tell me: what dungeon is too hard for you if it’s impossible for you to continue the run for 2 min without 1 player?
HMU Im happy to help you through the insanely difficult dungeon content <3
And what’s up with all the rest of the “Storytime” replies? OP says a tank was kicked in their run for completing a quest that every1 else had completed and found it unfair. → insta storytime from 2 people?
Are you here to tell OP that they are a liar? Never happened to me = could never have happened?
In that case I call BS - if you have leveled muliple chars in RDF, you have seen unjustified kicks - or maybe you really do believe that a guy finishing a quest or being afk for 2 min is a valid reason to kick them?
Here’s my storytime (and I am incurable altoholic): Do dungeon kicks happen often? No, but in my experience, when they do, they are more often than not uncalled for.
Depends what you mean with “afk”. Just a few days ago, I saw a ret paladin in my group get locked out from a boss fight, by the end of the boss he was kicked for “afk”. Is that “afk” in your mind? He was top dps by miles before the boss btw, so definitely not slacking.
I was also kicked on my hunter alt after dying and simply asking for a ress (the reasoning was afk, I was told afterwards by one of the members). Is that also “afk” in your mind?
No dungeon is too hard to be done as 4 players. That’s not my point.
Are you here to tell OP that they are a liar? Never happened to me = could never have happened?
No, i never said that. I even said that i had myself been unfairly kicked a few times. But most kicks happen for a reason, the more often they happen to you, the more chances that you deserve it.
Try play a dps with maybe 20min+ queues
Then finally your queue pops and 7 min into the run - your doorbell rings
My doorbell never rings during a dungeon, for reasons i’ve explained above. Doorbells don’t ring by themselves, they do so because you invited a friend/ordered food or whatever. Don’t tell me that random people you don’t know come to ring to your door every day
Let me guess - you play a tank and have insta queues?
I mostly play DPS, try again.
Man, you can’t live or have lived in a society with other people if you truly believe that, lol. It’s crazy what ridiculous arguments you people come up with to justify your antisocial behaviour.

That’s a funny statement, because i am the one who actually behaves socially, trying to respect other people’s time. This is what all of this is about.
The antisocial guy is the guy who engages in an activity that most people want to rush, and delays their run.
You need to touch grass if you really believe it’s unthinkable that someone’s doorbell can ring outside of planned visitors or deliveries. Go take a shower, shave your neckbeard, brush your teeth and take a few deep breaths outside.
If you really respected peoples time, you would realise this is a bloody game that you play with other people in real time. Sounds to me like you should play with NPC’s in retail with that mindset if you throw tantrums irl because someones doorbell is ringing. Like, get outta here.
I actually knew a guy in high school that got told by his raid leader at the time that he couldn’t leave the raid when he got news that his father just passed away. He quit the game altogether soon after that incident, btw. People really need to chill the fk out and be a bit more reasonable towards others. I know it’s a wild thing to ask for in 2025, but come on, be better. Like, I imagine most people playing this game today are 30+ year old males, how can you still have so skewed priorities in life?
Never had a 20mn queue as DPS during MoP
No i don’t mind waiting. I was just surprised you found 2 minutes to be too long to wait. 
Hello, I’ve been kicked from dungeon as a druid, because I rolled need on 3 green trash items (I’ve won 2 of them), that’s it, no loot from bosses just leather trash items I could add to my collection. I think Blizz should add kicking from dungeons for transmog as into punishable rules.
No there isn’t always a reason. I got kicked on my mage all of a sudden in a lower level dungeon. I did not ninja pull or draw any aggro and I was highest dps just doing my job and all of a sudden I was kicked. I wasn’t writing to anyone or stress anyone in any way. I just quietly did my job as a dps and still got kicked.
You just have to accept that in Celestial dungeons you can get carried, but not as a core role, as well as to follow up on some guidelines to loot rolls, and no1 will give a F about what you’re doing. Meaning, don’t try to sneak a need for no reason on a green, don’t be an A hole and do not queue to celestials without friends if you are fully green.
Most of you guys are talkin about exactly the wrong thing, the time punishment is NOT the problem 30 is fine. Its the players that are the problem. A Dungeon kick should require 4 votes in case there is still a sane person left in the group. EVERY conversation about lowering or changing punishment is just nonesense. People have just been trained to press yes on everything without a second thought.
This kicking culture is why people don’t even dare to talk anymore in Dungeons because talking gets you kicked, it’s madness but people kick you for not liking you. BUT blizzard is so much of a dead company, anything thats not changing a number is too much work for them now.
