Guild Wars 2

My friends and I were running TA story today, when one person went afk. After 20 minutes, we got antsy and doubted he was coming back. We voted and kicked him…when suddenly…all of us did remain in the group together, but we all got removed from the dungeon….and when we went back in, our progress was deleted. Back to the beginning.

This has happened to me only once. And it didn’t happen immediately after we removed the 5th. We’ve never had problems continuing with 4 a number of times afterwards. Nor have we had problems getting a 5th.

Not sure what happened that one time nor if it’s related to removing one person from the party.

I’m willing to bet that the person you booted out was the person being shown in the cutscenes. That’s usually the player that is “hosting” the dungeon. Almost always, it’s the person who walks into the instance portal first. If that player leaves for whatever reason, then that means the dungeon cannot continue without the host. Pretty messed up, if you ask me. It could open up the door to all kinds of grief …

….

arrives at final boss of explorable dungeons
Leader: “Hey! I gotta take emergency bio break.”
15 minutes later
Member 1: Gee, he’s been gone for a long time. I’m not sure if I want to wait longer.
Member 2: I say we boot him and find a replacement! I know a guildie that might want to come. vote kick Leader. Leader is kicked from party.
Leader: (says to himself) Suckers! No tokens for you!
Other four party members are obviously mad

….

If anything, the host should pass on to another player instead of being lost if the original leader has to leave for whatever reason. That way the dungeon can continue with a potential replacement.

This function, kicking out the entire party, should be applied always, everytime someone is kicked, kicking out the entire party, not just when the group leader who entered first is kicked. Obiouvsly just when who is kicked is offline or afk after a certain amount of time, changing his status to away, so just leeching tokens. Most are abusing of the new DR.
I’m wondering if devs are reading this kind of useful suggetions
