    There is really no way to solve it as Square Enix would need to snapshot the entire game at the time of your disconnect. We are talking terabytes worth of data in a game where the world is still moving if you are logged out. That is why when you log back in everything is in different places.

    Maybe in a single player game you could solve this but no chance in an MMO. I know your pain all too much on this issue.

    POTD is an instance. If all members DC then there is no reason to "pause" the instance and keep it open for a short time so one could log back in. Regular duties do this, why not POTD?

    they can do it for trusts. At the very least, they could snapshot pomanders and timer at the start of each floor and on relogging, generate the level again. Or do it like dark souls where the layout is saved, but the mobs are reset
