Don't punish players who 90k in POTD

I'm not going to reiterate my point over and over because you people refuse to actually see what I'm stating.

Your disconnections are not SE's fault, it's yours. Not once since launch of ARR have I ever had a single problem with connection. Yes it can sometimes get laggy but I've never d/c'd. Just because you d/c once doesn't automatically mean it's SE's fault, and if you're doing it consistently multiple times a day then its your internet not SE. Get over yourselves, Square doesn't owe you shit. Deep Dungeons are MEANT TO BE A CHALLENGE. They are ENTIRELY OPTIONAL content that you AGREE TOO when you queue up for one. You KNOW the rules when you queue up, You ACCEPT that if you d/c, for ANY reason, then you have consequences to pay. You know this is a fact about all Deep Dungeons since PoTD was first released. Stop complaining about you d/cing and losing progress. Yes d/cing sucks but it's a fact that whenever you play an MMORPG there will ALWAYS be times where someone, whether its you or not, is going to d/c at some point, probably muiltiple times, throughout your time playing the game. Stop acting like entitled spoiled brats that bitch, moan and complain until they get their way. D/Cing has been punishable since Deep Dungeons became a thing with PoTD YEARS ago.

What does any of that have to do with someone else's dc making you lose your progress?

It's not SE fault it's the player base? Lol. Oh boy, you must be blind or pay by SE to talk nonsense, the reason why 1.0 fail is because it was unplayable to the large majority of the player because how SE coded the game. With the launch of 2.0 they had to segment the zones into smaller ones. They had to move the north American server from Montreal to Sacramento. They had to stop using level 3 channel which was horrible for Comcast players. Not SE fault???

All I was suggesting was to give players the opportunity come back into the instance they were originally in. Give them a chance to recover from a disconnect. I agree that cheating measures need to be taken with forced disconnects (like in crafting). The difference is, with Crafting, you're not in an instance. Being a multiplayer game, if you DC in party content, you're still in the instance if you come back. It's much more forgiving. I'm just suggesting to give soloers the same courtesy. I mean, if you DC and come back on 151+ you'll probably be dead anyway, but at least give that opportunity.

I never suggested that I wanted a do over. That would be cheating. I'm not suggesting a change to anything content wise. I like soloing. I like the difficulty. I even like the RNG (to an extent). Being a multiplayer game, there's not a lot of solo content, so SE probably doesn't have the solo player in mind when it comes to most content. The D/C "policies" are more geared towards party play, and with good reason. Hell, doing research on this I'm not even sure they actually can do anything about it. However, one of the main selling points of the forums would be that it would get looked at by SE themselves. Chances are, they probably can't/won't do anything about it. I knew that writing it originally. But if there was a chance that it might enact a positive change, why not at least try?

(On a lighter note, I've gotten a bit farther since I posted this originally. Been in the 180s several times and am still vying for 190).
