Guild Wars 2

So me and a friend where in SW and the LFG came up so I merged us with another party, it then instantly kicked me from my party and let my friend join the other group,

This has been doing this all day, I cannot join a party via LFG it instantly removes me everytime from any party I try to join, I can add people who are on my friends list/ guild, but if I try and join someone via LFG tool its instant kick for me, its like the party im joining doesn’t even exist in the first place.

Has anyone else had this issue, it could be some form of lag so that the LFG tool is not updating in real time for me, so when I see the LFG pop up its actually already gone, but then how could my friend get into a party and I get auto removed…

EDIT: this cannot be lag, its happening 100% of the time now if I am in a 2 or 3 person group and try to merge parties, it kicks me from the party instantly and allows the other 2 people to join them as normal, they can then invite me as normal to the party, we tested this several times in a row and I can replicate this issue.

I cannot join any party via the LFG tool at all, as soon as I hit join it will grey them out as if I have joined them then a few seconds later the join button will reappear.
