Example as a new player with CP 49:

- you join a normal instance
- you end up in a CP >400 group
- youre kicked
- you start searching for 15 minutes again...

ETA for fix? This is critical...

    Join a Guild, run dungeons with your friends in that guild

    Or

    Queue for Normal Dungeons
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    It's normal dungeons. There should be no unlimited kicking without consequences in groups built by the dungeon finder.
    The fix should be: high CP can't join normal, low CP can't join veteran.

    Player Base is pretty unfriendly in this game...and I thought WoW was bad..

    Odd, I queue for normal dungeons all the time, and I rarely if ever get any CP Ranked players with me. I am CP880 myself. I queue for those as I hate getting Vet DLC dungeons with Pugs.

    LFG playerbase can be really bad, yeah. There's many good guilds, though... Whats your server/platform?

    Veteran level players often farm gear in normal, so it wont be a solution. They already implemented that 15 min penalty because people were asking for penalties and consequences, and you can see what happens now.
    And dont forget that the majority of playerbase consists of casual players that arent interested in vet content.

    How about get to CP 160+ then run the dungeons? Also learn your role so you dont get kicked, don't be the healer dhat I had in my last group finder dungeon, he was wearing hatchling shell.

    There is a large portion of the player base that is friendly. However, there are some players who are not very good themselves and kick lower level players in hopes of getting someone to carry them. Sad, but likely very true.

    That is the only reason I can come up with since I have queued for many random dungeons, vet and normal, and certainly on normal have never had issues with a group clearing the normal version.

    Nestor does have a great idea. There are many guilds out there with players that can help you at your stage and beyond and might find it fun running with them.

    While it might not happen often you should not be punished for getting kicked like that, also if two people leave you should be able to leave without getting the penalty too. I've made this suggestion before directly to them, make the 15m start after you leave and nothing else. That way if you leave at the end you will still get 15m penalty for leaving, and no one else will get punished if they get kicked early for stupid reasons.

    Why do you need to wait until CP 160 to participate in a normal dungeon? You can solo normal dungeons long before then.
