Leaving Team - Use Character Swap
2024-04-03 — Lightfall / Season of the Wish (S23)Posting this notice due to recent complaints. When leaving the team, please avoid using "Return to Orbit" from Ghost. In #D2SpoilsGiveaway, if the randomly selected leader after I leave does this, entire team gets kicked to orbit. Use character swap instead for a clean solo exit. #Destiny2
If you've been hit by group kick before, you know how sad it is to get force-returned right before reaching the chest. I'd feel like becoming a Scorn Sniper when that happens.
Worst case is after raid clear, when someone finishes shopping at the vendor and immediately returns everyone to orbit. This can rightfully anger those still shopping. Even if unintentional, it's quite a serious offense.
To avoid this, I recommend making it a habit to always leave via character swap, regardless of being leader. Someone might want to stay and explore - I sometimes wanted to check glyphs in "Preservation" (VotD 1st encounter map).
Experienced raid organizers know this well, but newcomers to leadership often make this mistake. When a host asks for leader rights back after they've been transferred via character swap, it may be for this prevention reason.
Ghost leave shows "Abandon Activity" when you're leader/solo, "Leave Fireteam" when not leader. Just avoiding the former when you're team leader is enough, but since the operation is the same, safer to never use this route.
