I recently deleted my master ent/master musician/master dancer because I was getting a little bored of him. He wasn't a fun character to play anymore, so I made a female instead. I've been working on her over the last few days, spending a long, long time at my keyboard, and usually leaderof a group.
The biggest problem I have found is not being able to kick people. You get that nice (out of range) thing and cannot kick them. Why? If the person is actually out of range, usually I'll ask them nicely if they are coming back, and if not, if they can leave the group to make room. However, if somebody goes LD and I don't notice quickly enough, they go (out of range) and cannot be kicked, and I've seen them stay in group for hours. When I have a full group of 20 people and start kicking the AFK people to add new entertainers, I'll sometimes have 2 or 3 that have gone LD and are of no use to anybody.
I'm sure that LD people used to drop from groups a lot faster. The ideal time would be around 10 minutes, as that is enough if they are coming back.
How long has this been going on, and is it a problem just for me?

People who are performing but LD don't get properly removed from the world. If they are a musician I suppose you could do a /stopband and make sure nobody does a /startband or /changeband. If they are a dancer though, can't think of anything that would help.
It's been like that as long as I remember. Recently, however, it's been changed so LD characters disappear from view quickly. Before anyone who was there when they went LD would see them, but anyone who arrived after would not.

I'm a big fan of disbanding and reforming periodically to clear dead wood

I think that's the problem. By the time I've noticed they've gone LD, it's too late.

I've noticed this also. It seems that it's either a new problem or it has gotten worse recently. I don't remember it being like this until the last couple months or so. As far as I know, the only way to fix it is to disband and regroup periodically... and just too bad if anyone's afk.
