LFR Vote-to-kick Madness

[Joyful]

People topping the meters in LFR most of the time think that they are "kings", but compared to a decent (or even bad) raider they are nothing.
They know that, so they are assholes in LFR

Example:
Fully LFR geared Unholy DK thinks that he is great and trying to kick people around 20% under his dps, while his ilvl is 20 points higher. See it happen every week.
Not that I think that I'm a great dps, but they even tried to kick me several times for "cheating" and "hacking WoW".
Things like doing 60k dps on lfr Zon'ozz apparently is "using hacks".

It's always someone else's fault..
They should have kicked the person that started the encounter.

Ohh how I love you, start off by saying people doing high dps because they got good gear in LFR is stupid, then end it by saying you do such amazing dps that people think you're using hacks.

most people in wow are dicks, just brush it off and sign again. Pretty much all I can say :s

The thing is in game nobody knows this story! All they see is this rogue at the bottom of the dpslist.
They don't know he just dinged, they don't know he is trying his ass off; they just see the dps.

Now you post here with some background story..... so the context we get is a lot different then in game.
In game the group see that they wiped and they will be angry or something.... so they will kick.
Their context is different.

Sadly for some of us, this is one of the few things in WoW that gives us some shred of entertainment. Before Diablo 3 came out, some of my buddies and I used to make a sport out of abusing VTK and ruining LFR runs. We'd set up "Post-Raid LFR Troll Runs" and sometimes even scheduled out actual time slots for trolling LFR. Watching people get emotional over a video game is funny. Watching people get emotional over the easiest content in one of the easiest MMOs is even funnier.

I would love to know why you believe your time is more important then others in LFR. If you and your friends are bored enough that a small group of you feels that you're entitled to ruin a group of people's run, perhaps you should move on to another game where trolling is encouraged. People still play Diablo 2 right?

I won't even bring my own guildmates with me to LFR runs if I know they're the troll type because I loathe the idea of wasting other peoples time, I grew up in an environment where I was taught to respect other people, not shit all over them for my own personal enjoyment.

Well the first thing you should tell him that people are better to be ignored.
I told my girlfriend before she made her first char, that some people are just internet heroes that need to get punched in the troath.

And people in LFR are the worst.

LFR is full with people who think they are pro, always shouting commands and telling things like "go to blue or red or whatever" in yor'saj encounter or "single target" the tentacles in madness final platform like that anyone is going to do that, its a freekin pug after all.
After any wipe in LFR i see in raid chat "kick that rogue/druid/shaman/any class he is at the bottom of recount, he is slacking or he is afk or whatever" and i see like 5-7 vote kicks in less than 5 mins.
Also in yor'saj they often say "stack up for heals" and as usual i don't listen to them, then they call me noob (btw i am on top of recount all this time) and they tell the healers to let me die, i really wonder how happen and they didn't kicked me after the fight because of that...
As other mentioned LFR is flawed, it doesn't serve the purpose of it's creation but at least if you are among the top10 dps in recount and you follow the tactics for each boss then you won't have any problem and no one will even mention your name or vote kick you but if you continue to stay dead last in dps in recount then probably after every wipe you will be among those who will be vote kicked.

Running LFR provides absolutely nothing to a guild. You're better off not doing it, rather than dwelling in false loyality and false dignity.

The upgrades you can get from LFR can mean the world to a guild. I am STILL running it every week for a Vial of Shadows because it could boost my dps by a solid ~4% and we've had awful luck with trinkets. Do I NEED to do it for them? No--we are 8/8H. Do I want to do everything in my power to beef up my own toon? Herp derp yes.

Pretty sensible post. What we all know if far different than what the group in the raid knew.

theres multiple problems with LFR. People are generally selfish and ignorant. needing stuff they already have and eitehr trying to sell you it or de ing it. however the other side of that is the people who have "cheated" the item level to get their and expect the rest of what may already be a mediocre raid group to carry them. going wearing pvps, greens and blues isnt really fair to every one else and just adds to the sense of entitlement felt by the trolls and it becomes a vicious cycle. personally i wouldnt let my young son play wow as theres just way too many asshats out there.

That came out really bad indeed.


Meant to say that some people doing a decent amount of dps think that they rule it.
That's the big different between them and people just minding their own business and don't say horrible things to low geared peeps.

Point taken but everyone in that raid should at least know that there is a real person behind every toon in the group. The question is whether they assume every person in raid is an asshat trying to be carried and screw people out of gear drops...
