how can i get back into my instance id?
Unfortunately you can’t. When all party members leave an instance, it gets destroyed.
just 1 guy left. Whoever made this mechanic must be a kitten.
Sometimes in Guild Wars 2 you will lose your progress. This is OK because you had fun playing fractals for those 2 hours, so now you get to play it all over again for double the fun!
.. what you can do is always start the instance yourself, but I’ll tell you, as someone who has been running a lot of Fractals lately, 2 hours is around the time limit where I would start to wonder what was wrong with the group, that it was taking so long, and if players were refusing to listen, or otherwise being jerks, if I’m the instance owner, I have every right to decide that I don’t want to play with you anymore, and it is incorrect to place the blame on the instance owner for leaving

That seems to be the general consensus on the issue. The only current solution is to make sure at the beginning of the run that whomever starts the dungeon/fractal run does not plan on switching characters or have to leave in the middle.
TBH I hate people who rage quit like that (although after 2 hours it’s kinda understandable). These days instance owners can be kicked without a problem. You wanna leave? Just ask people to kick you so they can find someone else.
