My players are upset there isn't combat. They keep avoiding combat?

I've got a beautiful, wonderful team of five players in my homebrew. I provide chances for combat routinely, but my players keep avoiding it. It's DND! It's ok to talk your way out.

Except for the fact that someone complained about it. Saying we haven't had any fights yet. I then presented another fight opportunity and they talked their way out of it.

What do I even do at this point? One of my players keeps casting "comprehend languages" to talk to creatures.

And the charisma on some of them is so high too. Do I just start throwing out bandits? Characters that don't speak or understand? I'm losing my marbles.

Update: I will probably edit this again later after I bring it up. Here's what I've got so far!

  1. My players have accidentally been abusing comprehend language. I doubt it was on purpose and I should have double checked. No punishment for it, but I am going to gently bring it up later that we will only be able to use it properly from now on.

  2. Sometimes no amount of talking can make something decide not to attack. Sometimes things might get angrier, and sometimes they simply don't care. I feel scared to not let my players do as they please and have fun - but that's not how this works. It's all fun.

  3. I am not using my monster manual to the best of my ability. I will be busting that friend out.

Thanks everyone! I'll have a chat with the party and update you. I'm glad this is a funny situation lol!!

Side note, just remembered when they gave the bandits a ton of gold to send them on their way. Genuinely forgot they did that and people are making jokes about it! It happened.
