Official Response to Congestion (as of Dec. 11)

It seems to me the best thing they could do in the short term is make the queue more reliable. I'm on a wired connection and while I don't get a LOT of 2002 disconnects, I still get some most any time I sit in the queue (mercifully, so far I've never lost my spot when I connect back in).

If you lose your connection, instead of just giving up and booting you out of the client, why can't it simply keep trying to reconnect until it does, without having to go through booting up the client and logging back in again?

From the explanations they've given, kinda sounds like it's because "trying to reconnect" would run counter to the purpose of the errors. If it's booting players because the queue is overloaded, trying to reconnect players into the queue would just result in a loop of overload, kick, reconnect, overload.
