It’s not uncommon for players to get banned from a group in World of Warcraft or other games. Sometimes there are good reasons for this, but often they are completely nonsensical arguments, followed by a war of words. What has been the craziest reason you’ve been kicked – or even had someone removed from your group?
If a player doesn’t do any damage, then he gets kicked out. If he keeps making the same mistakes, he gets kicked out as well. If he insults other players or is rude, then of course he will be kicked. This list can be continued almost endlessly, because you always find a reason to remove unloved group members. But what have been your absolute highlights so far?
WoW: First find a group
Before you can get kicked, you should first find a group. But this is often not easy, because despite the dungeon browser, the requirements are sometimes very high. Besides good equipment, food and bottles, you really only need GM rights and invincibility mode. If you don’t have the necessary achievements, you don’t get an invitation – it’s that simple. And even in these achievement-oriented expert groups, the first players drop out after the first wipe just because no player paid attention to the boss mechanics. An isolated case? Sadly, no. Isn’t it surprising that unloved and incompetent players are often kicked out of the group because of this?
WoW: “Sorry, you’re doing too much damage!”
Many players are currently sharing their craziest in-game experiences with a group on Reddit. The reasons are often just funny and cause a lot of head-shaking. But there have also been some crazy incidents in our editorial department over the last few years. You want examples? You’ll get examples:
Often players are kicked because they annoy the group leader – personally. It happened that a bad guy was kicked after a wipe because he wanted to defend the healer who was blamed for this virtual death – an insolence!
It has also happened that the role-playing game was misinterpreted in larger groups. When waiting a long time in front of a boss, not every player understands such sayings as “The undead DK next to me stinks.” In such a case, of course, a kick without comment helps. Or not.
You do too little damage and get kicked? That’s probably a classic in World of Warcraft. But have you ever been kicked for doing too much damage? That’s what happened to one of our editors in a foreign guild’s progression group. The guild’s own damage dealers felt set back and were depressed, according to the raid leader. The consequence? A kick for the player. Logical, why not?
But even good damage doesn’t help if the party members doubt the player’s experience after several attempts. “You deal a lot of damage and understand the mechanics, but you don’t succeed? Bye-bye!” Few players want to sweep up at their own doorsteps.
But there’s often friction between players just over equipment. You have a great item and someone else wants it. Then you better give it away quickly, or you’ll get kicked. That’s what happened to the youngest of our hunters from the editorial team! He couldn’t give away his relic from the Night Castle because it was soulbound after the bonus roll. You can get a kick for that – no kidding.
But sometimes winning almost every roll on nonsensical items is enough. That’s what happened in Shadowfang Keep, where there was a kick just before Lord Godfrey. The reason: cheating – because every greed roll before that was won. You know how important the items from Shadowfang Keep are.
The wrong buff? In ancient times you could – for example as a paladin – distribute a lot of buffs to players. Stupid only if the party leadership wants a different buff than they get. First talk to the paladin about it? Nonsense, why not kick them out right away?
WoW: It also works the other way around
Sometimes you don’t get kicked, but are in a position to kick the players yourself. There are all sorts of nonsensical reasons for this. Sometimes the player just doesn’t do enough damage or behaves inappropriately and annoys the group. But it also happens that you suddenly want to take a guild member with you. How do you gently teach that to your entourage? Exactly, not at all! Just throw out and ignore.
Or have you ever been invited via the dungeon browser and kicked out again straight away? This may be due to the fact that the raid management in Teamspeak is slightly drunk and makes jokes and simply invites players to have fun, only to then throw them out again. Yes, that really happened!
But now it’s your turn! What have been your best and craziest experiences so far? Why have you already been kicked out of a group? And have you ever kicked a good player and used flimsy reasons to justify the kick? Tell us what you think in the comments, we’re curious!
