It’s getting quite frustrating with the number of people going afk in stronghold. I don’t think most people even realize that there is a toggle to deselect from being queued for stronghold. Personally, I didn’t even realize at first either, like most people I simply bring up the tab and hit queue, without looking at anything else.
Something needs to be done for future events to make this more noticeable. It’s happening way too frequently. You can tell it’s not a disconnection because you can still see them as online.
As an aside: I should also mention, that queuing for stronghold exclusively, will still put you in a regular map occasionally as well.
