Queue Griefing

mcmetal1

I'm curious, has there been an official statement about the queue griefers? I'm talking about the folks that vote kick people out over and over before they even load, effectively keeping them from playing the game.

The way I see it, dungeon groups are not "private" closed groups, someone queues, they don't get to pick the group the queue puts them in. If you choose to queue for a dungeon, you should be abiding by the rules of the game, knowing the queue is going to add folks in (even if you "feel" like 3 or 4 manning it). Popping people out (especially repeatedly) without saying a word seems against the ToS to me and is effectively a DDoS attack.

It's just like getting onto a public bus and some nasty folks in the back open up the door and shove you out.

I go out of my way to report these folks, but haven't seen any official responses as to if they ban any of these griefers.

Yes, that is it exactly. I just hope they actively go after the folks that are abusing this.

. . .There won't be any public response on Bans, as that is against the Privacy Policy. Please just continue to report problem players. On the same notion, this isn't a topic suitable for the forums.
