Guild Wars 2

I couldn’t find anything on the forums about this, so I’ll start a thread. This is a big deal. Once all the beacons are lit, the city assault pre-event begins called Trial by Fire. The objective is to bid Lumps of Aurillium to become a giant armor monstrosity that I guess does tons of damage. After a few seconds of inactivity, you get kicked out and here in lies the problem.

After I won my bid, I went afk to get a drink. The event doesn’t start for 8 minutes and it takes me, what 30 seconds? I get back and I lost my form and the Lumps of Aurillium I used to win the bid. This is a problem for several reasons.

1) This hurts the entire zerg trying to do the event if you lose that form.
2) You can’t expect players to constantly remain moving or doing something before the main event even starts.
3) You can use Lumps of Aurillium for several things such as weapons, armor, and recipes.

Solution: Only penalize players after the main event begins. It’s that simple. I’ll state again: There is no reason to screw people over before the main event even starts.
