Dragon Stand closes mid meta event.
Closed when there was still an hour left on the meta timer or closed because the timer reached zero while you were still in the meta? It can close mid meta if you started the meta late, that’s 100% working as intended.
Try WvW plenty of frustrations there :p

I know how the meta works. The map didn’t close to due failure, it booted us. The Event had about 50 minutes left to go.
We know that low population maps are set to close within an hour. That’s when you get that window which offers to move you to a more populated version. If you stay in the map however, it will still close within that hour, even if by then it is full. Could it be that this happened in your case too? If at the very start of the timer, the map was so low-populated that it was set to close, then everyone went there later to do the event chain, all those people wouldn’t get the message about the map closing soon, but it would happen anyway.

They don’t place people into maps that are due to close.

That is true, but i’ve seen such thing happen in the Silverwastes many times when people who didn’t see the message about closing (or didn’t know that it would still close under all circumstances) started to taxi more people, trying to make an event map. And then all those people had a nasty surprise at Vinewrath.

Well sometimes the system decide ‘nah this map is fine, it can stay’. Happened yesterday in DS, we taxi-ed people in… and near the end the system decided to keep the map open. But it’s kinda random
Well, that sucks.
Maps shouldn’t be closing on any group that is successfully completing a meta.
Makes zero sense.
I’m just going to make a guess here but perhaps the server hosting that map crashed. There are still quite alot of bugs in HoT which will take a while before the most critical will all be fixed. I haven’t experienced this myself so far but I can definetely understand the frustration. I’ve seen others being booted at the final chest aswell.
