So shortly after the server reset today, I hopped into Eternal Battlegrounds, getting in with the first wave of people and beating the queue entirely. We were doing quite well, then the dreaded “Connection Error” message appeared. I was only gone for all of 3 seconds, since I was able to immediately log back in after being booted to the character select screen. But since it’s a Friday, it will be hours before I can get back into WvW.
Players can remain AFK in WvW for a considerable length of time, it makes little sense to penalize players who were only gone for seconds, especially when this happens through no fault of their own. Now, there may be people who would exploit the disconnect grace period to avoid deaths or perform other shenanigans, so I’d also suggest limiting it to once every 15 minutes or so, perhaps with reduced grace periods for continued disconnects.
I know this isn’t an issue that has only affected me, literally the first thing that was said when I explained why I dropped off the map in guild chat was “that always happens to me too.”
