    toxicity in randomly generated groups

    Posted: 04 May 2020 12:50 PM PDT

    While leveling my Highmountain Tauren shaman I queued healer for a WOTLK dungeon and got into a fresh run of The Nexus. My party had a vulpera, a monk with full looms, and an spriest with full looms. Obviously we all were veteran players, who knew the mechanics of the Nexus and the layout.

    But our tank was a prot warrior who right at the start of the instance went right instead of going left, and when I told him to just follow us apologized for not knowing the instance. I inspected him and he had regular leveling blue and green gear on. Wow, I thought to myself, a new player, hope we can teach him how to run this dungeon and how to get better at his class. But no, after having a rough first pull (not even wiping), my party starts a vote to kick him with a note like "bad tank" after neither of them bothered to tell him what to do. Before I could even vote no the vote passes and he's out of the group.

    Is this how we treat players new to wow? Instead of using our knowledge in order to welcome new people to the community we use it to ostracize new players? Later on in the run the priest and the monk left for some reason, even if we got a new tank that had looms and knew how to play. Why gatekeep on such a petty level? This wasnt your +15 mythic+ run, so why be mean to a person that you randomly got matched with, in an instance that doesnt really matter to you? He didnt ask to get matched with some elitist dickheads leveling their 30th alts, he was probably leveling in tank spec cuz it looked cool to him and wanted to see what a dungeon is like.

    Another example: last timewalking week (cata tw), i was doing dungeons for the weekly with my sister (new player, but in the sense that she started in bfa, she can hold her own in current content like m+, pvp etc but doesnt know older stuff). We got into a Grim Batol run, all was going smooth, only that at the last boss Erudax she wiped to the 1 shot mechanic, which she couldnt have possibly known about, and which I also forgot about until it happened. While the rest of the group was downing the boss (we had absolutely no problems with only 2 dps and were all max hp) the tank started a vote to kick her with the note "fail", and luckily it didnt pass, but imagine if it did. All of her progress on the dungeon, all the time put in, her loot from the boss, all of it dependent on whether some dickhead wants to kick at the last second. What the fuck.

    Please be nicer in randomly formed groups. If you want to have timewalking groups that do 10 year old mechanics perfectly, or if you want leveling groups where you speedrun the instances, please just form your own groups. You have to keep in mind that if you sign up for lfg you're signing up to possibly play with players that have 0 clue on how to play the game, and that's not a viable reason to kick them out. Stop making this game even harder to get into.

    EDIT: for anyone that might be wondering i couldnt get in contact with the newbie tank because I had a dc during that run that made my chat log reset so I lost his name

    Shitpost - My guildies made fun of me because of the extremely high corruption I always run with. I am known to sometimes, very randomly, instantly pop. I thought I'd make my gear sets fitting.

    Little bit of karma for stealing my skins

    Nightslayer Armor looks great in HoTS. Wish WoW could look like this.

    We're the same level, in the same battleground. How did they even allow something like this to happen?

    We need a new visual for Bone Shield... squeaky dog toys dancing happily dont fit wows current art style anymore!

    Posted: 05 May 2020 12:27 AM PDT

    (Blood DK) Upvote if you agree!

    Idea: make it like DH spikes... when bone shield is active you grow spikey bones out of your fore arms and shoulders or something... maybe the more remaining stacks the bigger idk

    Idea2: keep the old school visual but add "spooky scary skeletons" song when active this way it will at least be a fun meme instead of a stupid meme..

    Make Island Expeditions soloable in Shadowlands

    Posted: 04 May 2020 05:25 AM PDT

    It would be perfect if you have a solo Island Expedition option in shadowlands. It would be an event in a previous expac that is still worth doing. IE has a ton of good mounts, costmetics, Pets. I would love to continue them, and I fear many people won't keep doing them

    Edit: please!

    The goal is to get every class to minimum 445, then choose a toon for the next X-pac. The XP Buff and working from home have helped move the process along.

    Add new player icons to WoW character names

    Posted: 05 May 2020 03:27 AM PDT

    Since I tried FFXIV (for a single month) I always wondered why WoW never implemented something as simple as new player icons to show other characters that a someone is new. I never really bothered to make a thread about this until a post here about toxicity towards new players blew up (coincidentally it was made just after my brother who started playing recently got kicked for ninja pulling a pack he was not aware of).

    My "pitch" is to add an icon next to player names/nameplates that shows they are new. An example of this in FFXIV is shown here. This icon should be toggleable in the interface options, so that players can hide it if they feel like the icon discriminates them.

    I hope that such a simple addition would result in more players being supportive towards new adventurers, encouraging advice offers as well as leniency towards mistakes.

    How veterans interact with new players can really make or break their day (and whether they will continue or quit the game).

    I really would like to see new player icons make their way into Shadowlands with the new 1-10 zone overhaul. It seems quite a trivial addition to me, but correct me if I'm wrong.
