I've seen plenty of cases where, after a wipe, the members of the group are changed or we can't "hear" each other. That's the typical scenario. But I've got a slightly different scenario which I just witnessed. I'm sure the Devs have plenty of scenarios to analyze but I'd rather them have too much info than too little, so here goes:

- I got a bind in Gfay and joined a group in Mistmoore for a couple hours.
- I replaced my spot in the group, disbanded, and went back to Gfay to AFK for a while.
- For approx. 45 minutes I got no /groupsay messages at all (which makes sense, I wasn't in a group).
- Suddenly I started seeing /groupsay messages again from that MM group. Turns out the tank had died and returned to her bind point, which happened to be the zone I was in — Gfay.

Based on this I'm inclined to think it goes beyond messed-up pointers for characters or groups, it seems zone somehow plays into it as well?
