Kicked from an FP for mentioning World of Warcraft?

Sup everyone so I'm not sure if it's some unwritten law but last night and two nights before that I was kicked from an FP for mentioning WoW. Literally the only thing I asked is if anyone in the group was from WoW and if they thought this game was better than WoW. I then mentioned that I was a 8 Year WoW vet then the next thing I saw was that I got removed from the group. Why are players so touchy about this subject?

Well... You were in an FP. Most of the time in FP groups, people talk about what is going on on the FP.

Save the WoW talk for Fleet Gen Chat.

That being said, I think booting you may have been a bit harsh.

Can't really comment without being there, but it seems rather harsh. I think LyraineAlei may have a point, though. May one ask, did anyone reply to you or did they keep quiet? Did you actually state your opinion (I.e Did you say WoW was better?)

If it was a vote to kick the majority had to agree, right? So the issue probably was not WoW itself, but your inattention to the job at hand. If the team is trying to take down the Bad Guys and you're off talking about what you had for dinner, I can see where they might think you aren't a team player.

This is an MMO (and coming from WoW, you should know this), and that means there are tons and tons and tons of different people playing the game.
Some have strange reactions to strange stuff.

These people proably just hated WoW and WoW players for some reason.
Maby they've had bad experiences with WoW players in this game before.
Maby they just thought you were too chatty and off-topic.

Bottom line is, sometimes you get kicked for the darndest reasons. And that's just the way it is, there's nothing to do about it other than queueing up again.

^I agree with everyone above.

It does seem harsh, but nobody can really say for sure because none of us were there to see exactly what was happening ourselves.

The first FP I was in, two people responded. One guy said basically "Fukk WoW" and the other guy said "dont mention wow again". That was it. The other group that kicked me from the FP I saw under reason "wow is gay". I mean it's fine I guess I just wont mention WOW but still I was really surprised by how touchy people got lol.

Ignore previous version of this post. Didn't want to double post.

Yeah, in FPs, try to talk FP.

WoW was off topic.

It's because 99% of people that talk about WoW in this game are trolls. They think they are funny, but they are not, and most of players are tired of it. You probably scared this people, they assumed you are a troll, and you could ruin their FP, this is why they made this decision. I wouldn't do that personaly, I would say I played WoW for few hours, didn't liked it, and I love SWTOR, and just wait for your response. If agressive, then kick.

It's not that we're touchy, but in general, unless you know your group members really well, just talk FP. Or leave the WoW talk for Fleet General Chat.

And like the previous poster, a low of people claiming to have loved WoW, talking about it etc. Are trolls.
