Someone in my fc kept getting kicked out of the game due to direct x errors that they have been enduring for many months now. Instead of saying "ugh if SE fixed the queues my crashes wouldn't matter" they researched on how to address the problem. They're no longer crashing so they're no longer getting kicked out of the game unless it's an issue on SE's end.
I know. But I cant pull out a nail and a hammer and fix my internet, some of us are not as lucky as others with respect to the speed, performance, and reliability of internet connections due to a number of factors such as geographical location, Internet Service Provider, etc. I am not blaming square enix for my disconnects either, I am simply highlighting the fact that a grace period for people that disconnect would be a very nice quality of life feature...especially during peak hour gaming.

By the way, this disconnect never bothered me before because its been a long while since FFXIV faced so many queue times. Once EW hype dies down, I suspect the same will happen and things will go back to normal. But it is at least worth considering by Square Enix.

Note: This is exactly why I prefaced my initial post with the statement "I know what other people will say, fix the internet issue." Because I am aware of it, but am proposing that Square Enix could also help alleviate the pressure from people that disconnect. I'm sure you can see the merit in that request?
