Does anyone know if there is already a thread on the lodestone talking about the issue where if you lose internet connection for even half a second you are thrown out of any instance or leve with zero chance to reconnect and proceed with what you were doing?

I've had dozens of R45 runs fail just because someone lost connection and even if they logged back in 2 minutes later, you are unable to re-invite them and they are thrown out of the instance. Punishing everyone involved for a small lapse in connectivity, usually its a game error and not even their modem because they don't disconnect from vent.

Every other MMO I've ever played Aion, WoW and even Free to Play MMO's have DC protection that allows a player a set amount of time to reconnect before they are thrown out of the instance. It is beyond frustrating that there is zero safety net in the event you're connection is broken, effectively ruining up to an hour of work to fight through a dungeon just to DC and get the shaft.

If there is already a thread addressing this topic on the lodestone please point me in the correct direction, if there isn't expect me to be making one in the near future.

Also take note, don't refer me to this thread, this one is referring to the 3102 error that prevents you from logging back in quickly enough, it doesn't say anything about them resolving the issue where you are immediately removed from an instance following a DC.

hmm...I do recall seeing that they would try to fix the issue with DCing during a raid by letting you rejoin the raid with your party. I believe they are trying to put this in 1.19. However, I have not seen anything about DCing during leves. Here is it is. Post #5.: Link. I hope that helped a bit.
