Rejoin Timer

[AeraLure]

I encountered a problem just now. I was in a run and all was fine through the collection of the Currents and then I got booted for no reason. Internet snafu? Data center whim? What have you. I had to go back to the log in screen, log in and reconnect. Two minutes tops but by this time the other healer and two dps left. We stayed for a few minutes but could not register enough dps to manage loot share, so we had to disband. I thought there was a 30 minute cool down timer between runs, but instead it barred us from entering for another 1:45 - the full two hours. This makes no sense. Due to maintenance, we can't get another run in tonight.

Several things I think:

The cooldown timer should not include the elapsed time of the run itself but simply count down from instance exit.

30 minutes between runs is just too long. All parties disband during that time. 15 minutes is more reasonable.

There should be a grace period to cover various issues that arise, such as the one outlined above, or griefers and everyone leaving. You should be able to reform with no penalty or cooldown and re-enter if, say, you have left for some reason and it's only been 10-15 minutes elapsed (with the exception of the normal abandon penalty and you are the first to leave).

The dps claim issue is a big problem. In the case I describe, contribution towards claim should scale or something. The loot share claim is actually the biggest problem I have with Diadem and there are countless posts on it, but it's definitely all wrong and needs to be fixed. It was the underlying reason the party disbanded in the case I describe, and I have encountered this problem on other runs I have done when gatherers were involved.
