Blizzard decide to make a couple significant changes to the Dungeon Finder system to help curb the rampant abuse that’s been going on recently. Personally, I’m a fan of some of these changes but one I really could do without.<\/p>\n
The Good:<\/strong><\/p>\n * Players who are outside a dungeon for more than a few minutes are now immediately able to be kicked.<\/em><\/p>\n Players going AFK or off doing some for an extended period out of the group should be able to be kicked without waiting for the cursory 15 minutes that had been opposed up to this point. I absolutely agree<\/p>\n * If queuing as a group with a tank or healer, and the tank or healer drops group (or is kicked) soon after joining, those that queued with them will also be removed from the dungeon.<\/em><\/p>\n A simple change that prevents the “wtb tank queue 50g” attitude that’s been plaguing a lot of groups. This way a tank cannot insta-queue a group and then leave, forcing the people who waited legitimately to wait longer for a tank who actually intends to run to join.<\/p>\n * If three or more players group queue with each other it will require an additional vote for them to kick anyone they did not group queue with.<\/em><\/p>\n This is also a great change to issue that 3 man guild groups can’t as easily “bully” other non-guild member, at least not without the support of the other non-guild member in the group. Typically if the 3 guild members AND the 4th pug want to kick the 5th pug, there’s a pretty good change he was a baddie and needed to go. Good choice blizzard.
\n* If someone initiates a vote kick for someone they group queued with they will not incur a penalty to their ability to initiate future kicks.<\/em><\/p>\n
