This is the most annoying aspect of the game and the reason i will probably stop playing it.
This isnt the most stable game. Many ppl have issues with dissconects/ errors/ crashes/ frozes. Personaly i have all of them in daily basis.
You join a meta/world boss/event, anything that can fill up with ppl a megaserver.
And after getting a lot of participation you dc for a few seconds. And when you log back (doesnt take long, fortunaly) you cant join the megaserver you were because its ’’full’’. And you lose the boss and all the progress you made till then.
And you want to smash your pc or uninstall the game.
Ok, i can live with 5-6 dcs daily. I realise its not easy to fix everything. But i cant understand why i cant go back to the megaserver i was.
Lets say the megaserver can hold 100 ppl. If devs add some lines in code to take back ppl who allready had participation in that server those 100 ppl will get 101 tops.
This is why:
Server has 100 ppl. One disconects and one other takes his place. If the dissconected person is permited to join back server will have 101 ppl. Now with the next who disconects, the server will drop to 100 ppl and back to 101 when he logs in again. So server will have 1% more ppl than intented.
I dont thing 1% more ppl will destroy the balance of the meta. But it will solve a big problem for all of us
So pls Anet respect the time we spend to play this game and pls make it possible to rejoin a megaserver

The solution you suggest assumes the player limit is because of gameplay balance. I’m pretty certain this cannot be the case; many events already dynamically scale to the number of players, and in theory can be scaled up infinitely.

What cannot be scaled infinitely is the server and network infrastructure, as well as client side hardware and internet connection. So the limit is a hard limit, dictated by what can be handled by current technology and still deliver an acceptable player experience. We’re already very close to that limit… look how our fps completely tanks during WvW zerg battles.

A better solution would be to “reserve” your place on the map for a short amount of time to give you a chance to reconnect.

Wouldn’t it be better to have the map reserve your spot for a short period of time?

And yeah, being kicked out of the map is a huge downer, especially when there is no way to get back in, and the new server you get dumped on is basically a ghost town. Even I have quit because of it.
