Have you ever kicked players out of your group for picking the wrong race for their class?

DemonDruaga · February 2017

No. Can't see why that should happen. Even a bosmer mageblade can do enough damage, tanking or healing for every vet. Dungeon.
Sure it is not optimal, but who cares about that. The only thing requiering BiS and optimal race is if one is headed for place 1 on certain rankings, but that's it.

Most people's race is Velidrith or Valkyn Skoria from what I can see unless theyre Argonian or Khajiit anyway.

Either way, no and never.

Inig0 · February 2017

Also some guilds have dps requirements to facilitate a competitive environment. If you can pull 40k single on a mag sorc orc. Good on you. Are you handicapping yourself beyond what you can force with skill yes and you wont be in a any serious raid team on a toon like that.

essi2 · February 2017

No, and if you bump into people who do, turn around and walk away. They aren't worth your time.

Nestor · February 2017

If you can tell what Race I am under my Helmet/Costume/Polymorph, then more power to ya. If you don't like my race, I don't want to group with you anyway, so nanny nanny noo noo.

DenMoria · February 2017

No, but I was in one group that kicked a player out for not being male. (they didn't want a girl playing with them? Needless to say, I quietly left shortly thereafter).

Pallio · February 2017

Well there is an argument that Argonian anything will be less effective, but, watching the tail is entertaining, so what if it takes a little longer to complete.

Sleep · February 2017

I never kicked anyone. I just quit.

EvilCroc · February 2017

I'm pretty sure, my sorc healer was kicked many times because she is sorc healer, not because she is khajiit sorc healer.

I never did and never will kick someone for their race choice.

I was however, kicked once out of a PUG due to it. I was playing my argonian magicka NB. Apparently that's all that people saw... argonian = kick in PUG terms.

Was kicked for "low damage" because of being an argonian, they did not care that the other damage dealer was a heavy armour 2H nord spamming Wrecking Blow.

No. I think people should play whatever race they like.

Er, I mean, I kick all non-Dunmer N'wahs.

Dr_Rektar · February 2017

Was kicked once from group cuz i picked tanking role and wasn't tanking ( i was doing 80% of grp dps, but the grp was madd at me that i wasnt taunting )

LordGavus · February 2017

No. A lot of the time you really can't tell due to armour and costumes.
Not that it matters that much anyway.

I have a magicka vampire khajiit nightblade dps I sometimes run for fun. She is still a bit boring, things melt too quickly.

I would never kick anyone for their racial choices. It's a game and the passives, while useful, will never make or break a character.

Aliyavana · February 2017

argonians are not a race

ArchMikem · February 2017

It sure is fun playing a Magicka Khajiit, I don't even have a single skill point put into my Weapon Crit bonus! Saves me three extra skill points.

A friend of mine said at max level it is not uncommon to see certain races get kicked from groups if the group doesn't like their race/class combination. For instance he said a Orc going full magic caster would get kicked. If that happens a lot....then I would think racial passives would need to be looked at again. Like creating a pool of passives for each race to choose from.

I think your friend was pulling your leg. Or just wrong. To say "not uncommon" means it is common. And "kicked from groups" implies random groups, which means 4-man dungeons. No one cares or even really knows what race someone is in a random group. Now is there a Vet Trial running guild that would prefer a Nord DK tank over a High Elf DK tank? yeah maybe. But that is not "getting kicked from a group", that is being excluded from a group. People who are that type of player (hard core) min-max their character from the beginning and wouldn't be the "less-optimal" race for hard core content. If the game changed and they needed a different race they would pay the race-change token or take a weekend and level 1-50, have all skill points and undaunted 9 within 4 days and be ready for the raid the following weekend in thier "optimal race" character.

My take on it too, in progressive raiding guild yes, but that is not kicked from group as you say.
Now if they took an random into the raid as they lacked people for it they would not focus on race, but skill and gear.
They would also assume the random would be far worse than them and happy if he did an decent job.

In an 4 man group "racist" slurs before kicking sounds more likely, Ugly orcs can not heal.
Random groups can give some bad apples. More so in that plenty of bad players are very defensive and ready to blame anybody and will jump in if somebody blame others than themselves.

Try being a gay, female of any ethnic persuasion and tell me that there isn't racism, sexism and homophobia in a lot of the groupings.

Bobby_V_Rockit · February 2017

The real question should be, why do people gimp themselves by not playing to their race's strengths?

MyKillv2.0 · February 2017

Why would they do that? Argonian racials make it perfectly acceptable to be that race?

Besides, I can see profession trial groups caring about that sort of thing but....outside that, you can take every 4 man dungeon in the game even with a wood elf Templar healer, Orc Magblade, Nord Magic Dragonknight DPS and High Elf Sorc Stamtank.

Racial choices are so over rated in the game except for the top 1%. Even with that said, I bet the top 1% could take my crazy examples and defeat any challenge in the game.

Anyone tells you to get out of their group because of racials are spending too much time watching streamers and not playing the game

Not to put too fine a point on anything...but I never talk about my orientation when I'm grouped up with strangers and if they ask I'll politely tell them it's none of their business. I'll drop out of groups that are gay/race/gender bashing but it's not directed at me because how would they know?

I think what I'm trying to ask is.....Why would that even come up?

Well, when a filthy Altmer shows up to a NAKED NORD RUN... you have to do things.

srfrogg23 · February 2017

Nope. Never done that before. Racial passives don't make or break a build. You'd have to be really pedantic to think that would cripple someone's build.

I want to see more Orc/Kahjiit/Bosmer Mag. Sorcs. If what you say holds true.
