Guild Wars 2

Can someone please explain to me this new auto-kick feature? I skimmed through the patch notes and forums and couldn’t find anything about it. Every time some one goes afk or logs out for five minutes in our party, the game just kicks them from the party. No one in our party is kicking them and there is no pop-up asking or suggesting a kick. Is this a bug? Is this new? Please & thank you.

That has been around for about a month or so I guess. I noticed it because my husband and I stay in party and now when 1 logs out before the other we have to regroup

Huh. I was wondering about that. I usually stay in a party with 2 of my good friends, and I just thought they’d been kicking me to run fractals or something.

I thought this was strange too. 5 minutes seems way too short. They should just give us an option to set a time limit to log us out, with 15-30 min. as maximum. Some other MMOs have this feature.
