But it would also mean that whenever someone really goes afk (for more than such a brief period), everyone else is locked out of whatever else they were doing for a full two minutes before the expiration counts as a withdrawal and the group is disbanded to form a new one. It makes the problem of getting stuck with such withdrawals that much worse than it already is. If people could pause, then nobody would get matched with them during that time, so nobody would get stuck having to wait on the afk player to Commence or Withdraw. They could continue with whatever else they were doing, or get matched with somebody else who isn't afk.


p.s. I also wrote a description of much the same feature in another thread here.
