D/C have to wait minutes to get back in the game? Why is this a thing?

[Ama_Hamada]

I've only disconnected a handful of times but it seemed* like the normal logout timer applies. That is I could get back immediately if I dc'd in any kind of sanctuary but had to wait for the timer to expire when dc'd out in the field, with attempts to log in while it ticks down apparently resetting the timer.


*anecdotal, I haven't done any actual tests.

When I say 7 minutes I mean 7 minutes, not that 30 sec timer.
