I'd be more interested in the system letting ME "kick out" myself (not from party) if I get disconnected. As it is, the system takes a pointless amount of time to log me out, so that I can go back in.

Real disconnections would be a lot less painful for everyone if logging into an account would automatically "ping" the computer from which it was connected, and if it doesn't respond (as would happen after a disconnection), then log it out immediately logging in the player.

Sometimes I have to wait two, three minutes to get back on, and I can imagine the frustration of others if that happens twice or thrice.


Some of these "convenient" disconnections are possibly such extended log-out processes, too. I couldn't log in for well over five minutes once, before I just quit trying. The servers for FFXIV suck, and them apparently being perpetually attacked doesn't help.
