The new lockout teleportation feature is nice, but

My point isn't to skip out on content, like so many seem to think. My point is taking agency from the player by forcing them to be moved into a boss arena when they're not present themselves. Life happens, and if I wind up being kicked, then so be it.

Honestly, if anyone thinks this complaint is even the least bit valid. Yes, SE, PLEASE take away they're "agency".

That's way too big a word to use in this context.

But if you're afk for that long, you're getting that with or without the teleport. The difference is, if you get forced inside, you might come back in time to help with the fight where before you'd be locked out.
Zero cons, many pros. If you really aren't trying to shirk your responsibilities, it shouldn't be that hard to understand this.

I still don't get why does it matter that your character is dead while you AFK.

Then log out/Alt+F4 when you go AFK. Seriously.

It seems that your problem is with your character being there, but even if you are outside the room, it's still there. You haven't given a SINGLE argument against this forced teleport. Only "I don't want to be forcefully teleported.". That's not a reason. That's the end result. You are unhappy with it happening. You need to give the CAUSE of that unhappiness. Right now it just seems you have an issue being part of the game when you are not at your keyboard...so just disconnect from the game and reconnect once you're available. If you're still going to be in party then woohoo! If not then that's what you get for making problems where there are none.
