Why Does the Forked Tower Kick You, Delevel You, and Keep Your Cipher If you DC?

[HyperiusUltima]

I wait all day to get into a run for FT. Start the run, and during the first boss, I had a quick DC. I logged back in and was kicked from the instance.

Why would it be designed this way?

Because it has to log your character out, then log you back in, then push you back into the instance - and if you're dead and haven't done anything in 10m, then it's kicking you out so you aren't just AFKing inside an instance for 3h with your timer ticking, even in Forked Tower.

You deleveled because you probably died during the DC. Even still, it sucks. The best you can do is try again.
