Most of the times I see players use vote kick is for vote kick abuse /u/MarcoASN2002 World of Warcraft

​r/wow Just had a brief but ridiculous encounter with another player in a random timewalking dungeon… after a boss, a teammate hunter went afk for like 15-20 seconds and made us “”wait”” on our way to the last boss (I wouldn’t consider that afk or having to wait personally, but that’s the best way to describe it), tank wrote “are you gonna play hunter?” then a vote kick starts with the reason: “dipshit”, I obviously declined, but the hunter got kicked, I wrote “dude was away for 20 seconds and you agreed to kick? damn”, tank replies “away? that motherf_er was sitting around doing nothing” and “he was pulling adds with his pet for no reason”, neither of those things was true, I was in my druid healing, same class I use for all 3 roles, being a tank or healer you get used to checking the group portraits at all times to know who has aggro or their health so you can prioritize healing or taking the enemies away, plus his dps wasn’t even bad, the hunter did nothing wrong until the moment he decided to make us “wait” 20 seconds. Nothing else was written in the instance chat, but moving to the last boss, tank pulls all the enemies in the room for no reason, attacks the boss and leaves the group. So, he started a vote to kick over nothing, got the other player kicked, its rude in chat for no reason, does the things he accused the other player of, he tries to ruin the dungeon for everyone else, and the only thing achieved with this vote kick system was disrupting the experience of a hunter who was participating in the dungeon. This encounter made me think of all the times something similar has happened, the very, very few times I see vote kick doing something useful is when a player gets dc, the rest is: vote-kick, reason: random insult or empty, and for some reason many times other players agree to kick with little to no information or worse, they click agree over nothing. With timewalking dungeons is ridiculous how much this scenario repeats, new players (low lvls) who commit the crime of pulling 1 add or not knowing the entirety of a dungeon on his/her first time there getting insulted in the chat, kicked, but the ones insulting that player started a vote so the only one getting his experience affected is that new player who did nothing wrong and now has to wait half an hour to play another dungeon. There are also the ridiculous situations where someone would rather kick the tank or healer after a wipe instead of explaining that player how we can do it properly, this happened soooo many times in Cataclysm timewalking last week, its just crazy. Please, don’t agree to kick for no reason, and if you want to start a vote-kick put something useful in there, writing an insult will only make me wonder who started it so we can vote you out instead. submitted by /u/MarcoASN2002 [link] [comments]

Nostalgia always hits the hardest around Christmas /u/_tough_1 World of Warcraft

​r/wow Started my journey in the evening of Thursday the 22nd Dec 2005 with my Tauren Warrior. I only wanted to “play for an hour”, as I had school the next day. Spend half the night playing and boy, did I suck at that game.. I never played a game like this before, I was overwhelmed and yet, it was so much fun. Still thinking back to the Christmas tree in Orgrimmar and opening the presents. We were so clueless back then, there weren’t really any guides nor understanding of how things worked or min-maxing. I only got to see mc and bwl before TBC came out, but I spend a lot of time on warcraftmovies watching aq and naxx raids. It was kind of sad there was so little time and only a fraction of players were able to clear all of it back then. Glad they gave me the chance to settle the outstanding score with wow classic tho. Good old times.. cannot believe it’s been almost 20 years 🥲 submitted by /u/_tough_1 [link] [comments]
