Token to hand in to the Waypoint is a good idea, probably better than the credit system at this point. But that would not stop instances from closing. If your Guild Instance is closed, then there is a chance that a guild member closed it.
That's possible and I hadn't considered that. Since several people reported this on the same day, I wonder if it's also possible that someone closing one instance could close other people's instances as well?
More than anything, is it really necessary to have an option to close the instance? I'm sure I'm not thinking of something, but why would you ever want to close an instance anyway? Maybe you could just remove that option from the window and at least eliminate one possible cause? I understand that I'm out my 100k and life still goes on. I'm just really hesitant to ever start another one if there's a possibility that it could poof again.
Thanks.
