    From what I've heard, those DCs when using gap closers are actually a poorly coded anti-hacking measure, as they only occur in PotD/HoH and Frontlines, and there was a time where bots were using teleport hacks in PvP for...some reason, people complained, and then after the next major patch they disappeared and these weird DCs started happening instead.

    Basically, when you use a gap closer right before something dies, the server will register the movement from the skill, but not the actual skill usage, which causes it to call hax because you were moving at an abnormally high speed without using a skill as far as it could tell.

    I'd think they could fix this by changing the priorities with which the server registers skill usage, because right now it registers the movement before the damage/actual skill use (And the skill being put on cooldown as a result) when it should probably be reversed.

    Though the better question is why they haven't implemented this throughout the game as a whole since it would kill off the gil farmers...
