When things go bad
![Page 22: Intro to Dungeons for World of Warcraft](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042614/55a596cb1a28ab790b8b45e6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Common Issues
• Wiping – The entire party gets killed
• Ninjas – players that need on gear that is not appropriate for their class. Ninjas typically will leave group after they get the targeted item
• Kicking – Sometimes groups will put a player to a kick vote. If the majority votes to kick the player, they will be removed from the party with no penalty.

Common Issues
• Repairs – Each time you fight or take damage, your gear loses durability. You need to repair your gear and weapons on a consistent basis to allow them to continue to protect you and add damage.
• Full Bags – Make sure you empty your bags and repair prior to entering a dungeon or raid
