I too have been getting more and more annoyed by this, almost angry. Now the fact that FFXI dose not have this issue now, it did for a long time. Longer than it should have. I played the game from its NA launch and the issue of a disconected controller or a wireless controller power off wasent fixed until about 6 years after launch. One work around was a very popular unauthorized third party program (I think we all at least heard of it) it corrected this issue a long time B4 SE. As for XIV's issue with this I did submit a detailed email to the technical dept and got nowhere. In the response email they said it was a problem with the controller itself working incorrectly >. I think we all know that line is complete BS.
