Disconnect - Returning to Start of 4k Queue

[Toadette]

When I disconnect for less than 30 seconds during peak hours, I am immediately placed in a queue of 4k-5k which means hours of waiting time. This is happening every day because my internet resets once per day, and it just so happens with my luck that it is triggered during FFXIV peak hours.



I know what other people will say, fix the internet issue. But disconnects can happen to anyone, at any time...so a better solution would be if the game developers could enable a system that gives you a buffer time/safety net, allowing you to bypass the queue if you immediately try to log back in within 5 minutes of your disconnect. The same system is available in World of Warcraft and it works perfectly there.

Edit - Side Note: I have been monitoring my disconnects and, as described later in the thread, have noticed a trend where my automatic reset happens once every day an hour earlier than the previous day (which is hilarious). I raised this up with my ISP and it seems I have to pay extra for the privilege of not getting this daily disconnect. So ridiculous...have to pay more to get a reliable internet connection that I am already paying for. All timing is local time which is GMT + 3.
