Guild Wars 2

… by me (it was my instance). What happends?

There are two options, one is “leave”, other one is “kick player”.
Both do the same – kick both players from your own instance.

We really need party leader system in place.

If you leave the other player remains in the instance.

Right, silly me. I had nobody online who could second my kick. The other player wasnt responding at all.

Anyway there are more ways how this could be fixed for multiple reasons.

Usually if somebody AFKs in a duo with me now, I just let them stay until they dc/come back. That way if I dc, they hold the instance open for me.

I’ll offer for others too, I think I was AFK in Arah for about 5 hours the other day while a guildy practiced Lupi

Just food for thought — Sometimes an AFKer is nice to have (if you dc 3x/night like me :P)

I dont know if it still works this way. But before if someone afk’d in a duo and got auto kicked because of a dc it would kick both players out. So you would always ask them to leave before they went afk.

Thats something worth testing. I was considering second account just as a backup when I solo.
I got really unlucky lately, DC-ed twice on Alphard and then “kicked myself” at Brie this way, all this happened in a row. I just got really fed up
Thanks for your input.

Actually. Since the instance owner change he stays if you kick him too.

So basically in a duo the one that kicks get booted and the one that’s kicked stays in. It’s pretty silly.

(Unless they fixed this recently)

edit: double confirmed. paid random guy to kick me. I stayed in. 1g well spent.

Reminds me of when I used to sell arah paths long long ago and all of my placeholders were AFK when some french person joined without reading the LFG. I wasn’t able to kick them and I ended up paying them 1g to leave the party. Took like 10 minutes to get them to leave. I won’t forget it for a long time because of how annoyed I was lol

Basically when your party is the size of two, the “kick player” option is just “leave party.”

If there is one thing I’d never do ever is to risk to duo with some pug or semi-pug or whatever not trustworthy….

It wasnt a duo, I had Brie at 1%
