Usually I can teleport back to a group member and end up at the start of the dungeon when that happens, but I've never been kicked from server for message spamming!

This is a known area where the boss fears people into walls. When I tank, I typically position myself with my back to the room or the doorway so I have room to run if he fears me. Otherwise, its a tour of the outside of the dungeon for me!

This is another bug that's been blatantly ignored for at least 2 years. It's happened on NA PC to me in the past. Your best bet is to NOT get close to the boss in the cubby area of the room i.e. stay away from the door he enters and just burn at range, especially if tank refuses to move.

If it upped the chance of finding a motif they are trying to simultaneously sell in their garbage store, they'd be all over it. Or if it increased damage against shield spammers that can stand in the middle of nowhere w/o a healer and negate basically all damage against numerous players, they'd nerf it in the ground. Since it's neither, they ignore and don't care, and wait for the thread to quietly go away.

Easy fix zos. Just remove the fear from boss cause it's obvious you can't fix the walls. Has been like this for a loooooong time.

I wouldn’t have been too bothered by just respawning and running back, but the message spamming part just added insult to injury.
