Major Flaw with Random Dungeon Finder (Heroic)
Hi all! First I’d like to say thank you to everyone who has made this community amazing so far; however over the past few days I’ve noticed a big flaw/exploit (for lack of better words) with Random Dungeon Finder, specifically heroic.
The issue I’ve been having is players flat out refusing to do certain dungeons and simply logging off hoping that they’ll be kicked so they don’t get the deserter rebuff. In the past two days I’ve been in 32 RDFs and out of those only 9 saw the dungeon past the first boss. I never noticed this on retail during this time and it’s partially due to people having multiple different accounts to play on.
Anyway take last night for example I had the same Blood Elf Holy Paladin 3 times over the course of 2 hours. In my very first dungeon he goes:
“Kick me, I only do the TOC/ICC Heroics. If you don’t kick I’ll simply go offline.”
Now, of course we can simply kick him but this behavior is completely selfish and toxic. I guess other people are tired of this behavior too, because a lot of time players will rebuttal with:
“No either take the debuff or do the dungeon.”
Then everyone simply teleports out and goes back to what they were doing. Now, it leaves players like me who are trying to simply gear up in an odd predicament. I can simply take the “L” and get the debuff or wait for the egos to subside and either kick the guy offline or someone leaves.
Now like I stated this happened 3 times with just one guy last night and since I’m not able to que for his specific dungeons yet you can imagine how it went. It’s made gearing an incredible difficult struggle. I’m sure a lot of you say will say join a group but every group requires like a 4.5-5k GS which I get because they want to farm badges quickly. I also tried to make my own group but it didn’t gain any traction.
Regardless aside from reporting, is there any other way to deal with this? It’s truly ruining the experience for me and just makes me lose motivation to try and gear up. Thanks guys.
