My suggestion is about the party leader system. As you may know, the party leader has to stay in the group throughout an entire dungeon or fractal, and cannot leave. If the party member leaves the instance, the group gets kicked out. Yesterday, I was doing FotM 16 with a group of players and one of them went AFK while fighting Jade Maw. He didn’t say anything in chat, he just stopped playing and started getting downed by the Jade Maw’s attacks over and over again. Someone else in our party requested a kick. Another player immediately agreed, and we got kicked out of the fractal when Jade Maw had a sliver of health left, and was about to use his final attack that hits everyone. I didn’t get my daily Pristine Relic that day because of this.

This isn’t the first time I’ve lost out on a reward from the party leader system. It also happened to me with FotM 6. We killed Jade Maw, I went to revive a dead teammate, and the party leader left our party before I could open the final chest. Again, kicked out of the instance, no Jade Maw chest, no daily reward chest.

There are dozens of topics going back to October of last year where people have complained about losing their progress because of a party leader, and nothing has changed since then. When I had my first bad experience during FotM 6, I asked the support team to give me 35 Fractal Relics and increase my personal reward level, since it wasn’t my fault. I received many “we are very sorry for your inconvenience” type answers, but they wouldn’t give me what I rightfully deserved. Again, yesterday, I’ve been punished by a poor game mechanic. Something must be done so that a party leader cannot deny other party members their rewards.

we’ve all seen what happens in games where there’s no disadvantage to taking your pants off.

report the party leader, and you’re right, anet should give you the relics and the levels.
+1, something needs to be done
PS: make a tldr version, and you’re not really suggesting anything, you’re complaining,

as for me it is more because of stupidy of the party than the system:
Everybody knows how ends kicking player who opened dungeon, so kicking the one even if he is akitteng is stupid move – personally I would let him die and when everybody get the chest just disband party (everybody leaves so party leader when alone will be kicked)

also that’s how playing with randoms ends.

What if something happened to the party leaders computer? I get a blank screen sometimes and need to restart the game.

If you dc the party doesn’t get kicked out of the dungeon, they only get kicked out if you leave the party, it used to be so that if you dced that everyone would get kicked but it doesn’t happen anymore.
