There’s an ongoing bug since the introduction of dynamic flight where your character will sometimes trigger an automatic disconnect when taking off, particularly if there is any near-collision with terrain like rocks or trees. My guess is that this is an anti-botting measure that assumes the player is clipping through the ground.
However, this “feature” appears to be significantly more sensitive in TWW content to the point where I’ve been kicked from the game well over a dozen times since the launch of the expac. Druid Flight Form seems to trigger this more often than other mounts.
Can this please be addressed? It’s really unfortunate that we’re assumed to be botters and punished accordingly.

Yeah I’ve been getting this since early access started. It’s annoying when you are farming herbs and ore because you are taking off from the ground a lot. It happens like 2 or 3 times per hour for me.

This has been happening to me constantly, I just switched to steady all the time instead because it was so annoying.
Same thing happens with leaving the water from aquatic form to flight form.
And also have been getting disconnected while pet battling if the camera swings a weird/fast way.
Unsure exactly what triggers it but the game freezes completely for a second and I get kicked to “You have been disconnected” screen.

I run into this most often when I’ve just mined a node and go to take off. Happened at least 5 times today and I’ve only been on a few hours.
next time it happens see if you also get kicked from battlenet for a few seconds.
ive noticed that actions outside of combat abilities all have a small chance of getting dc’ed. and dragon riding is probably programmed closer to riding an npc for a quest than character abilities.
I’ve been dc from game, and battlenet from dragon riding (most common), using overload on mineral nodes, hoping on the lynx for the event quest and a lot of other similar instances .
considering everyone isn’t complaining about this and scan/repair doesn’t fix it, it might be programming interacting with specific hardware, ISP, etc. I haven’t tried a fresh install, but i’m beginning to consider it
From what I’ve been able to gather, this is (usually) an instance of a movement enforcement detection kicking in, so I don’t think it’s really a bug as such. There isn’t a workaround other than slowing down slightly, tbh. And yeah, it’s annoying, it happens to me when I don’t remember to take time with the mounting up and take-off.
On the other hand, it could be seen as an indication that you’ve got a good latency. 
This is getting to be EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING sorry for yelling, but disconnecting 10+ times a day is starting to make me hate flying and thereby not want to play the game. Sub ends in 15 days and at this point, this is a determining factor consider how many times it happens in a mob zone to come back dead and have a 40 - 60 flight just to rez and disconnect all over again.
Same issue here. Happens often when I’m mining, and take off again. Would love to hear that someone’s looking in to this. It sometimes even happens when I begin mining a node, and I’ll get back in to see that someone has beat me to it.
like 1 out of 5 lift offs for me, sure makes the DAAAWNBREAKER a fun mythic +
Has anyone tried a basic ui reset?
This is still happening. All zones, any time of day. Either using a jump lift-off or the Skyward Ascent ability on the bar. Sometimes, it will refuse reconnection without relaunching the game client. What can we do? We’re dealing with a small, indie company with a development team that can only do one thing at a time… right?
Its been happening since they came out with skyriding in dragonflight…but yeah its prolly and issue with OUR UI and not THEIR game…
