WoW player was kicked out of the group because he was the only one who knew what to do

In World of Warcraft, sometimes it's knowledge and trying to help others that can get you kicked out of a group with a deserter debuff for good measure. This was found out by a player who dared to remind the team how the Stratholme dungeon works.

Anyone who's been exploring the dungeons in World of Warcraft lately knows that the community's patience is in short supply. It only takes a moment of inattention, for example, losing sight of the tank, to be labeled as "incompetent." Attempts to educate others often end up even worse (via Mein-MMO).

The player going by Nerdy_Valkyrie found this out and described his story on the WoW subreddit. While going through the Stratholme dungeons, he noticed that his team was ignoring the instance mechanics, and instead of clearing the Ziggurats, they were just rushing to the bosses. At some point, Nerdy_Valkyrie couldn't stand it anymore and wrote in the chat:

You guys realize you need to kill the enemies inside the Ziggurats too, right? Because I've had to solo the last two.

One of the party members had a brief and blunt reaction: he told him to "shut up," and then Nerdy_Valkyrie was kicked out of the group and given a deserter debuff, preventing him from joining the next dungeons for a while.

Stratholme is one of the few dungeons in the game where it's not enough to just defeat the bosses. To open the way to the final stage, you must also enter the Ziggurats and clear them of mobs - ignoring this requirement results in blocking further progress.

There were a ton of comments under Nerdy_Valkyrie's post - full of both amusement and sympathy. Many players have started to share their own experiences, and one common conclusion emerges from their stories: in World of Warcraft, it's often better to just keep quiet and blindly follow the group, even if they have no idea what they're doing.
