It’s my first post on Blizzard Forum…
And I suppose that this system will further penalize players who are ejected from the group for X reasons that are rarely valid.
For a player who doesn’t participate or voluntarily pulls 50 mobs to kill the group, that’s a justified kick, but there are plenty of other reasons to kick these days.
You don’t know the dungeon, so you observe two seconds so as not to do anything stupid that would penalize the group, you are ejected.
You complete the objectives of a dungeon quest, you are ejected. Last time i was eject cause i was going grab some gems in the donjon with kobolts.
You are a tank and have to deal with dps running everywhere, you are ejected.
You are a tank paladin, a demon hunter moves faster than you, while you rush. He pulls everything he can, which kills the group and you are ejected.
I have even seen players ejected as soon as their feet were in the instance once the ejection timer had expired.
You are healer, you have the audacity to ask the tank to calm things down, you are ejected.
And once ejected, you have to wait 20 minutes to be able to start a search again.
Many players play “elite” but we are not all 20 years old.
A 12 year old player, or a 50 year old player (my case) and over, necessarily do not have the same reflexes, the same approach.
During the Lich King days, I was one of the two highest dps in my guild. 16 years later, it’s barely even if I’m average with other players.
Being penalized because of the bad spirit of many players (often the case on French servers.) gets you tired very, very quickly and gets disgusted with the game.
Now, if wow is reserved for hardcore players, or even normal and heroic dungeons must be done seeking absolute optimization, so be it! But it is certain that the game will lose more and more people over time.
