Open different quests from within the same player group

[archest]

I was joined in a group who had started a quest .
I then created a game in a different quest.
should I not be, not able to do that, since I'm not the group leader?
I should be locked from starting a quest from within a group.
Lag issue?

Nothing stops you from starting a quest while party members are in another quest.

Often happens if someone is slow leaving a quest while the rest of the party is moving on to the next one.

It can be a problem, for example: if someone is trolling the group and they go into any quest they can't be kicked from the party.

IIRC, this was a standard way that people would flag a person for raids very quickly, ie, have different members of the group simultaneously do VON 1-4 on a low difficulty to near the end and then have the target player hop from one to the next to the next and gather up all the completions.

Not sure what you mean by "...then I created a game..." - do you mean "created a Group", as an LFG advertisement?

I suppose that could happen if your character last led a Public group and is still flagged for public groups, which might automagically create the group if you enter first - it would be a bug, but it might not be impossible.
