Not talking can lead to the perception of trolling / not participating. I have personally removed players for not communicating. They make a mistake ask if everything is okay, no response and it is after 5min I indicate a kick.

No matter how you want to cut it, sure devs are trying to make the game Solo l, but once you queue and start content with others. That Solo experience is no longer in play, you have entered the realm of the social/group aspect where communicating is part of that.

So, because someone made a mistake but didn't verbally acknowledge you explaining their mistake, they are automatically perceived as a troll and deserve to be kicked? Not talking does not mean you are not playing. Saying someone has to respond to you or they get kicked is not only extremely rude but also very entitled.

Yeah, the circumstances they described aren't really something I support, but the logic still applies if there are other various issues within the party. For example, if someone is performing mechanics incorrectly and holding back the group, an acknowledgement from the person in question is beneficial for everyone, especially themselves. The rest of the group won't know how to help them if they do not respond to anything.

What should I have done? I asked if everything was okay, without a response how should I have approached assumed everything was fine, and run the risk of another wipe? That single assumption ends up costing rest of the group time. If they needed help understanding the instance or their role if they spoke up we would gladly helped. Without speaking up I will simply assume the worse and seek a replacement.

Sorry not a mind reader, if one does not openly explain their issues I will make my own assumptions based off my past experiences. Not like I did nor give them a chance to say something, it is not like it is impossible to type out a response on console. They easily could have typed out something as they were tanking the floor.

What is entitled is thinking someone is free to waste time of others in a group because they refuse to usebthe jank system or are unable to get a simply a cheap 15 buck keyboard on Amazon. Before you say what if they cannot afford 15 bucks. Then I would argue if 15 bucks breaks your bank maybe this is not the hobby for you.

Ok well for one I agree with Max...FOR THE MOST PART.

However if this content is current Savage content...Communication is key. Assuming they have no keyboard to type...an emote or jumping up and down signifying you can at least hear/read/understand the situation is helpful. If one particular person is picked from the group cause of something they did wrong and can't acknowledge they are listening...AND that majority of the group agree to dismiss them...I have to agree with Bobby on that point.

On any other content though...I'm patient enough that even if they can't communicate...I can get people through the content even if one person is hampering the run.
