Wanted to know if there are any plans on a macro level to stop punishing players for DC's
-DC while crafting = instant botch
-DC while leve = instant fail
-DC during dungeons= instant kick
Not understanding why SE is choosing this route to handle player disconnects. I know a plan is set up to handle re-entry into dungeons after DC issues, but what about the rest?
Sorry ahead of time if this topic has been covered.

And if you're in the middle of crafting, you should resume where you left off, or it should at LEAST attempt doing standard synthesis the rest of the way.
I've lost a lot of crafting materials due to DC issues. It's driving me crazy. DCs wouldn't bother me if the game didn't punish you so heavily for them. The worst is when you're well above the recipe level (the kind you couldn't fail if you tried), but you DC and still lose the materials.
I can't control the quality of my internet connection. I have the best available out in the middle of nowhere. It's fast enough to play FFXIV but it drops packets every now and then. Often times I'll see R0 and start swearing, and then i'll get connection again and see people moving / talking and yet it still kicks me out of the game. That's the worst.
This DC issue needs to be addressed.
