I was running the “Sorrow’s Embrace” …

I want to play devil’s advocate here. It seems that you are casting yourself in a very favorable light while the kickers in a negative light. (Of course we don’t know what really happened since your version of the story is the only one being presented.)

I agree that sometimes people are overly intolerant and jerks and kick for no good reason whatsoever, but a majority of the times there’s a good reason why they vote kick.

There are alot of players that haven’t done certain dungeon runs and react negatively or not at all to feedback and that creates frustration. I have personally no problem with seconding a vote to kick those type of people.

As far as I am concerned if you are a noob to a dungeon you better listen well to the others and don’t give any attitude. If you don’t then you deserve to be kicked.

I let these players know know before I joined their group that I was new and didn’t have experience with this dungeon. If they were pressed for time they shouldn’t let me join or mention that they are going for a speed run. I tried to follow in tight behind the group and did anything that I was instructed to do. Not a lot of instruction was given. It wasn’t like I didn’t contribute anything to team. I’m sorry they missed the reset, but that means I did too. I attacked what was targeted, switched to range when I noticed that was what the other players were doing, and helped downed players. I just want to play a game and have a good time. I know their are people that take this game very seriously, but do you have to be mean?

I was running the “Sorrow’s Embrace” dungeon and informed the person recruiting that I was a new player and had not run the explorer mode, but I did watch a walk-through video. They said that that was fine and that they would let me and the other new person know what to do. They did not communicate what to do till after we had already died. They were complaining about getting the dungeon done before the reset and said it was our fault for it taking an hour instead of twenty minutes. I was kicked after helping them defeat the three final golems and got no reward. I was very honest and upfront about my experience with this dungeon and I am rather disgusted with the behavior of these players. I paid the same amount of money to purchase this game as the players who bought it at launch and do not think that I should be penalized or abused for not buying it sooner. It’s hard to be a new player on this game when the established players are not helpful and have no incentive or encouragement from Arena Net to help new players.

I’m a new player and think that this mechanic is working against me. I joined a PUG and let them know I was new and that I had not done this dungeon before. I really want to learn the dungeons so I can form my own groups later. I died fairly often and did not get to see a lot of the dungeon or fights because I had to wait for the team to win or wipe. Even though the people on the team said they would communicate about what to do they did not. After helping out the best I could while paying attention to the other players I got kicked right before the end. It’s hard to be a new player on this game when the established players are not helpful and have no incentive or encouragement from Arena Net to help new players.

I wish this company would quit taking steps backwards. It seems like they are only interested in exclusiveness and limiting players to their perspective of how the game should be played. It would be nice if they could be more inclusive. Why is it so difficult to offer players more?
