Enforce a Code of Conduct
Why can't you duplicate the modes, Duos and Trios, but have an automated Code of Conduct? For example, if the player is inactive, standing still doing nothing for 5 minutes or more, they are kicked ...
Your frustration is relatable but your solution is unworkable. I haven't had a teammate stand there because they are AFK except a couple of times, so it's not a widespread problem. As for a penalty for separating from the rest of your team, that's gonna be a hard no. Sometimes you get stuck with stupid teammates, or teammates who don't grasp the "dibs" concept, or who loot instead of revive/respawn, or worse sit up somewhere and try to snipe while the dirty work is done, then come in and loot. Sometimes on landing the jump master flies like an idiot and 4 or 5 teams will have landed in the spot ahead of you, meaning all of the weapons will already be taken. In some cases you have to break off, and join up later.
It happens quite a bit for me. Just today it happened a few times. People are always rage quitting right off the bat or looting before they get teammates back up cause they are more worried about snagging all the loot first while your helpless. This guys idea is pretty much the only solution and it is Respawns obligation to make a well rounded gaming experience for all. They could implement this strategy so easily but just don't give two poops. They already have a punishment system, and already coded it into the game to have the players comment when other players are too far apart. It shouldn't be difficult to just switch the worthless comment to a penalty. This is a team game and anyone who isn't willing to play as a team shouldn't be playing this game period. I really don't care if you people think this narrows your play style cause if you want to land other places or not be by your team then your play style is selfish. Its a team game plain and simple and any comment trying to advocate the opposite should get you perma banned from all online games from here on till the end of time. I'm actually flabbergasted that people would actually say they don't want to be forced to play a style of play that is referred to as TEAM WORK. What play style do you want to use that requires you to not use TEAM WORK in a TEAM GAME?
