I know this was supposed to be addressed a while back, but I’ve had this happen to me a lot in the past 2 weeks. The other day I was waiting for Fire Ele to spawn, I logged out and logged back in, I was in Lion’s Arch!
Same thing happened to me yesterday after going to I think Iron Marches for the new event. I relogged to get the new patch and logged back at Lion’s Arch.
Sometimes waiting for the Great Jungle Wurm, I relog and end up in the zone near the starting city.
