So Anet implemented a feature that allows us to replace a person in our fotm group if someone leaves, but if someone DC’s and doesn’t come back and you vote to kick him the entire group gets kicked back to Lions Arch and you have to start fresh?
You may have kicked the instance owner, which would indeed close the instance and boot everyone out.
We are aware of a problem related to that though, and are working on solutions.
EDIT:
Whoever is the first person into the misty portal/dungeon is considered the owner of the instance, despite his placement in the party.
Allow me to correct myself – it’s not the party leader, but rather the instance owner. Whoever is the first person into the misty portal/dungeon is considered the owner of the instance, despite his placement in the party. I will correct my first statement.
