Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure why this happens but recently my character keeps getting moved to far off locations when I logout or close the game.

For example I was in Mount Maelstrom near the Irwin Isle Waypoint just south of The Mire Sea. I Exit To Desktop and come back five minutes later, when I login I’ve been transported to Broken Arrow Waypoint.

Or another common example that has happened to me at least twice a day has been, I’ll logout anywhere in the entire world and when I log back in I’ll be in Lions Arch.

I’ve also been greeted a lot by the little pop-up window asking me to volunteer moving to another map instance, so I’m wondering if that is causing this. Whenever I do volunteer for the instance move, it always resets my location to Lions Arch.

Not sure if it’s something wrong on my side or not, but it’s getting worse. I’m now being moved to the same portal that I came into a zone with unless I use a teleporter at which point it seems to stop moving me.

Same here, and I think it began less than a year ago. Before that time, I never had this issue in the game. It is very annoying, and it seems to port you to the beginning of the map.
I have all my alts on the flax farm in Verdant Brink, but very often I find the character standing at the first waypoint you reach when you get to the map.

Maybe you are right, that it has to do with that volunteer-thingy. It would fit with the time I have had this issue.

This is only getting worse. I’m now being teleported back to Lions Arch almost every time I logout and then back in.

Did you try running a repair on your client? LA is the default spawn location when the game has no idea where you last were.
