No, you won't. Only when all players have logged out will you be out of the instance. I opened a ticket on this, but their response showed they clearly don't understand how bad this is. So you're saying that leaving a public squad will still keep you in the instance? That would be ridiculous indeed. Leaving any party/squad that's in an instance usually kicks you from said instance. If that doesn't happen in a public squad, someone wasn't thinking when they designed this. Thats the thing, public instance wont create party/squad and thats why it wont work like other instanced content. And that is the problem. There's no way out (unless everybody else also logs out or goes to a lounge). Oh, and once you're dead, you can't be revived, either. It really is a black hole and needs to be fixed. Yeah, it could be a squad without a squad leader when you join in a public instance. Then it would work lile every other instance.Except instances normally have a leave instance button. This does not.
