I am also hoping for this or at least they should implement it properly (e.g. automatic sending to camp, refunding of resources etc... Everything else is just majorly annoying).
Unfortunately, there won't be any reaction by Larian as this is an intended mechanic. And there will shortly be people in this thread that will defend it as super immersive, ignoring that it is not well thought-out at all (Yeah it's super immersive when npc just run into their death in act 2 or follow you around saying "shoo"
).
Probably one will have to rely on mods...
