Group kicked if leader DC
Will the group still all be auto-kicked from instance if leader/first to go in, is DC’ed/Quits?
Yes.
Yep yep yep.
(Unless they do a surprise change to the way groups work. That would be cool.)

99.9% sure yes.
A: Just to give you a clear answer, since you are asking 2 questions.
Will the group still be auto-kicked from instance if the leader/first to go in is Dced?
No – The group does not get kicked out if the leader dcs. The instance continues and you will be forced to complete it 4 man.If you kick the leader since he/she dced then yes you will all be kicked, however if the leader reconnects and logs in on a different character, then yes the entire party will be kicked.

Yes, this works just like any other dungeon and I doubt this will change.
This is also done in order to prevent players from ferrying a party inside a high level fractal and then leaving.
You can kick the leader after he DCs, it won’t kick anyone else. But doing that is pointless because the party wont let you invite anyone else into the group and it’ll remain bugged till reformed.
They really need to add a auto-pass leader option. It’s an absolutely horrible and frustrating mechanic. The last 2 times I did a dungeon was on my alt and both occasions the leader left, thinking we were done, after we killed the last boss while someone else was still watching cutscene~ kicked everyone with no completion reward given.

it is funky
sometimes dc does cause group being kicked, sometimes it doesn#t
i had few times where leader logged off to character screen to repair and it kicked all of us out instance, in other cases it didn’t

This problem has been around for so long that it’s now a feature — not a bug. You use it to reduce the probability of people kicking you at the last boss to invite guildies/sell the run.
1 yr+ and still we have to be cautious of this horrible mechanic. Instead ANET has been busy making kitten ton of Living Fail updates. Blows my mind!
