    Well back then you could always shadowmeld for threat drop, tanks didn't do any damage, and enrage timers were few and far between. The philosophy has changed a bit, hybrids are no longer support, tanks can do massive damage, and enrage timers need to be met

    Intelligent people also use grammar and spelling correctly. Your sentences (or attempts) are missing simple coherence in your "arguments" and your simplistic attempt to even include punctuation is futile when you do not even apostrophise "dont" and "cant".

    "Agro" is a horse*, and it is not an abbreviation of "aggravation"; well, neither is "aggro", but this is closer than what you're typing.

    Your sentence should read:

    " On topic, a bad tank that can't hold aggro? If friends are in the group; they will kick.
    Think harder, don't just write, "this". Good luck. "

    Further on point, this guy is a mage; he isn't tanking. What are you on about?

    Good luck.


    * Agro is a horse. He is the faithful steed of Wander, hero of the popular PlayStation 2 game Shadow of the Colossus. Agro fulfills two vital functions in the game: he conveys Wander across the lonely miles of the game world, and he provides companionship for Wander on his quest to find and fell the Colossi that inhabit it. Agro is widely regarded as one of the most famous horses in gaming, on a par with Link's trusty mount Epona. Source: (http://www.giantbomb.com/agro/94-1126/)

    You can't anymore, but you could for several years.

    I was just giving examples of times people had been unfairly kicked in my LFD runs. I wasn't trying to imply it was possible to still do all those things.

    The Mage in normal gear is too geared? Yeah, you pissed someone off and convinced yourself they only kicked you because of your gear.

    I doubt you got vote kicked for that, tell the whole story, not just "Vote kicked out of a H. Gate of the Setting sun because I'm "too geared"

    Never happened.

    I once joined DS LFR p2 after a few months into patch 4.3 to help a friend's alt. Got kicked halfway through clearing Ultraxion's boring trash after having said nothing, dpsing and "taunting" down the drakes. Never queued for a random LFR before or after that, in cataclysm - I still wouldn't, if I had no need for the gear/sigils/valors there.

    Point being, it happens sometimes. You can avoid it by not queueing with randoms. Or you can just get over it and requeue, hope for a better group and get your valors that way.

    I disagree. It encourages meterwhoring, which is bad. I don't even want to know how freaking many unnecessary wipes I've had during progress (and especially after progress is over) due to over-eager DPSers trying to boost their ranks on WoL by a few places, by ignoring everything they're supposed to do.

    I dunno. The only time in history I've ever been vote kicked was during a 4/5 guild troll run. Apparently they thought it funny to boot the odd man out right before the last boss.

    100% of the time, I'm completely quiet, do my job well and just go through the motions. Why would anyone kick anyone for that?

    Rarely have I seen people get bitched out for being too geared in a 5-man dungeon; usually its morons wanting to kick people because they aren't already decked out in heroic blues or epics.

    Typically people get kicked (from my own experience) for:

    -afk-ing alot and not telling the group

    -standing in fire/not knowing WTF they are doing and dying

    -being a prick

    The GM told me she didn't want her dps to feel bad about doing low dps by having me in the raid doing more dps than any 2 people combined. Which I didn't care, I wanted a nice laid back guild with no pressure but I guess they thought I might be an elitist or something since I was full heroic BiS. I mean why would I app to a casual guild and then tell them they're not up to my standards, after having been in a fairly hardcore raiding guild for years and was tired of that raiding environment?

    Edit: Perhaps I should have made it clear that I was told this by the GM in my post you quoted.

    Edit 2:This SS was taken after I realized how silly i thought it was I was being denied for too high dps. I prodded and assured her (the gm) i just wanted a nice laid back guild but this was how she felt.

    One time back in a DS LFR group, I won the int trinket off of spine, and a bunch of people got uppity and wanted to kick me from the raid because I had better gear.

    It's as rare as it is stupid. I'd imagine anyone with a substantial amount of time on the internet would realize the depth of idiocy has no known bottom.

    I think reason OP got kicked is that he prolly was in group with 2 or 3 ppl from same guild, 1 of em tank, and the tank was either low geared, bad skills or both and maybe the OP was bit to trigger happy and not using enuff Mirror Image and that resulted in a kick.

    I doubt he was kicked only because of the good gear.

    Why do people criticize people over little things? Makes them extremely immature!
    You should start adding apostrophes to your words. They make you look more intelligent. Work on that.

    On topic,

    You are hiding a good part of the story and just looking for attention.

    On topic: You were either trolled and it was a premade that wanted one of their friends to join or there's a part of the story you aren't telling us...

    Shadowmeld doesn't change your threat, once it is cancelled it restores the threat amount you had with NPCs still in combat. (Or it is supposed to)

    To be honest if most people find mashing buttons with little to no care about anything else, aside from standing/not standing in crap "Fun", then so be it. I personally think that kind of play style belongs in hack and slash games.

    The threat boosts (Which are absurd) cause for lazy tanks these days. Back in BC/Early Wrath if your tank wasn't "on the ball" with his aggro, things usually went sour pretty quickly. These days it doesn't seem to matter much.

    However, getting a bit off-topic here I suppose.

    Yup. Not a problem. You need DPS who can keep up though.

    I call bullshit. You probably overagroed, pulled or something else.
    Because the logic behind what you're stating just isn't there.
    You are definitely leaving something out.
