    That logic goes both ways. If they wanna go absurdly slow, they can play with their friends.

    If you're expecting PUGs to play by YOUR rules, then honestly? YOU deserve getting booted.

    Yes, many, MANY times.

    I can't remember doing it without a valid reason, though.

    Either the person was beyond reasonably toxic, or AFK, or honestly - not good enough to allow for completion of the content without absolutely insane play from the other members of their role.

    By that logic, anyone who expects others to adhere to a standard should be kicked from groups whether its me for wanting to go faster or a tank for wanting to go slower.

    I tend not to unless they are doing something that really deserves it.
    People kick others very easily these days and some even take advantage of the system to grief others.
    Unfortunely, it seems 3 votes is all it's needed, and many just click yes regardless of what it is just to get rid of the box in front of their screen.

    I would like to see a better implementation. It's not a wow only problem either.

    if you are going that fast. It is a sign of pretty bad issues.
    Seriously... No one uses 5 minutes, unless they have a serious bad stomach...

    We always vote to kick people with bad attitudes, so a tank that thinks he's that important that he can take his time with everything or a dps that think he's the shit because he's top dmg.
    These types of people are obnoxious, so us usually being 2-3 ppl just kick them straight out, works like 9 / 10 of the times.

    Yes. I didn't vote for there are many reasons. Disruptive players, trolling players, people who AFK without a warning and people who keep ninja-pulling.

    A bad reason to kick someone is that they are new at the game.

    Yes, I have voted no before, mostly because the vote has been made by someone else as a troll attempt/raging.

    Another bad reason to kick someone is if they do not like the dungeon, too common nowadays and in the end, ends up having to kick them anyways because they disrupt the game for four other people in their selfish tantrum.

    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

    A bad reason to kick someone would be because they don't know the encounters or aren't going to fast. It's LFG, not Mythic.
    I got kicked recently for telling the tank to be in tank spec lel

    But ya, AFK without saying something is a very common kick for me

    A bit hard to remember since I haven't done auto matchmade content for a long time, but back when I was doing lfr on alts mostly vote kicking people who queue as healer / tank but are dps, refuse to swap roles and hold the whole group hostage because we can't do the boss without the extra tank or healer.

    Also people who afk without saying anything after 1 boss and aren't at the next boss after the group cleared the whole trash, there used to be bosses that would reset if any person was outside the room, if that happened we would have to find who was out and boot him.

    Reasons I would vote "no" on kicks even though they would still pass sometimes was stuff like voting to kick someone in low lvl dungeons for having worse gear than the rest of the group (especially if it was steamroll and that guy in greens couldn't do jack squat) or voting to kick the healer for not healing when dps were ninja pulling left and right and no way in hell healer could or should save them from that.

    AFK kicks absolutely. Or if you're the healer that blames the tank or tank that blames the healer type.

    Banned. Need I say more.
    We kick people that are obnoxious, we got all right to do so, you can't get banned for vote to kicking someone after all.

    Sometimes, yes. But usually, one is kicked post-grouping. Which is what this thread asks.

    No sarcasm. As I said above, any disruption is a threat to groups.

    Failure to execute mechanics. We all have to learn, that's fine, but standing in crap and expecting me to heal you through it is a votekick. And if the vote fails I leave.

    I would expect you to be back in less than 2 minutes for that.

    Small bio, 1 minute
    Big bio, 2 minutes

    If you need more time, go see a doctor. Outside raid/instance hours.
    I take like 5+ min shits sometimes, I never rush it. Also sometimes I take a 3 min piss because I only piss like 2-3 times a day. Honestly though if I know I am going to be overly long I just leave the group because most people don't want to wait and it isn't classic lol.

    We are talking about groups, not raids. How would you know any of those things? Why the problem with young and old people (what do you even consider old)? You can't tell if someone is easily stressed out or has anxiety issues in a dungeon. I've played for 15 years, never had anyone weep or cry in a group? What do you do to these people? We don't even talk, and I'm definitely not asking if anyone's a bigot or right-winger or religious, and they obviously won't tell anyway.

    All those things might be important in a guild, where you want people to fit in and maybe make some friends, but none of that is important in a group, unless it actually affects performance.

    Holy moly, 15 mins? Isnt it like the entire dungeon run? Who has time for that?! He didnt have the courtesy to make time for us nor the courtesy to leave, because its an issue on his side, so why should all of us suffer and have the mercy with him?
