Yeah, some people are just driven to find new ways to be Douchebags. I suggest witholding their loot and not rewarding shitty behavior. The truth of the matter is that even if you did cave in and trade the stuff that kind of buttwipe would still likely kick you for laughs anyway. Not like that kind of person has a real honor code or the whole situation wouldn't come up in the first place. Screw em.
And yes, this is coming from the player of a pure dps class who is destined for long ques anyway.
Yeah, I got kicked from a heroic today because an 845 ring dropped, they told me to give it to their friend who was pulling 40k dps as a DH. I told them to kindly get fucked as I was 5.5 times as valuable as he was (~220k dps on that fight). They kicked me and my friend who was healing for them stayed to troll the shit out of them lol. He told them to pull more, that he could handle it. Then he would mysteriously let them die and say "I was silenced". They bought it for like 5 wipes before they got angry. But the kick system wouldn't let them kick him so they all left the dungeon.
Yeah I haven't run into this yet, but I'd definitely suggest this.
If you have something someone else wants, say you'll give it to them at the end. If you actually don't need it just give it to them right away unless they're dicks. That can help so you don't get kicked.
Just dobit the old fashion way and create a group through trade. No one is forcing you to use LFD
Most likely the wisest Enhancement Shaman.
Maybe you got kicked for wasting everyone's time for 5 minutes by sitting on your ass like a petulant child and not continuing the dungeon rather than for not giving some asshole mage your loot. Pretty sure he knows it's unreasonable to ask for it himself and just wanted to see if he could actually get you to give it up.
What I'm reading is you tried to votekick him first and then, after that failed, you stopped pulling trash. You think maybe standing around not pulling might have had something to do with the reason you got kicked?
They didn't kick you when you refused to give up the cape (which sure...I'm on your side for this part...people shouldn't be bullying others for loot), they didn't kick you when you tried to votekick their friend...they only kicked you after you stopped pulling for 5 minutes.
At least my experience is that nearly all groups have been friendly, and that goes for dungeon finder or pugged mythics. As long as you say hi, everyone does their role, it's usually not toxic at all. Occassionally you get a bad group where someone is trying to do content higher than they are ready for, or people afk, etc. But generally I think the wow community is quite good. If it's a bad group you can usually tell pretty quickly in, and just try to get through it as soon as you can. And if they are really bad, just make a note of them and get to another run. There aren't enough cases like you describe to ruin the experience I don't think. For me I'd say at least 90-95% groups are friendly and fine.
Sorry but you're under no obligation to pass loot to anyone. If someome threatened to kick me for refusing I'd have done the same thing. What do I care? I get instant Qs as a tank and have no patience for pushy DPS with attitudes bigger than Russia just because they sit in Q for hours.
Don't like it - roll tank or heals.
DPS are a dime a dozen. You need us tanks more than we need you. I have a standing policy to kick any DPS who pulls for me, tries to lead the group or types "go" when I'm the tank and likely waiting on my healer to tell me they're ready.
I'd Q more randoms to help y'all out if 99% of you weren't pushy assholes. Moral of the story? Want faster Qs? Don't be an ass.
Enchantig FTW
Isually i disenchant everything asap before someone even try to whisp me
This issue has been discussed to death since late Cataclysm, and Blizzard has stated that they cannot and will not do anything about it if three people vote to kick out someone from the dungeon - if you are afraid of this happening to you, then group up with friends and/or guildies. I am in favor of increasing the vote kick requirement to four (the rest of the group vs the one in question), but that is just my opinion.
Youre tank just queue up again quick, if youre pugging you have to expect some people wont play nice. Its just not worth the effort imo. Had this guy just open trade with me without saying anything.
Cata Heroic is worse.
This is when Blizzard decides that LFR and LFD must be super easy content.
It started to do personal loot.
Why do you stop pulling?
You are the tank. Keep pulling.
If they kick you, it is a wipe.
One time I was kicked from a HFC HC... Player A got 720 bracers from Zakuun and he didn't need them so I wrote in chat if I could have them(he instantly wrote "sure"). Then Player C started typing "Player B Needs it, don't give <ME> shit" (Player C and B were mates of the raid leader)...
Then i got simply kicked from the raid and Player A wrote me, that if he didn't give Player B the wrists, then they would kick him as well.
While it wasn't a too big of a deal for me, it still was a waste of my time and it is clearly a case of abusive Players. I think Blizz should add an option to report people like these and give them, depending on the situation, deserter debuffs which last like 1 day or more.
U shoulda left at that point already.
I play healer and I do a good job keeping ppl alive. As soon as one starts to get at me in any personal way, or name calling, I leave the dungeon. I then search again after doing a quest or two. I aint putting up with kids and stupid ppl.
Yeah, I enjoy the 2-3sec dungeon queue time
