Yeah. I only found out about this yesterday when I got disconnected in game after a 3 hour queue and put back into... what was probably a 4 hour queue at that point. More time queued then playing and losing your spot immediately is awful.
It also means if someone gets disconnected in a dungeon there's no point in waiting for them: they literally can't come back. That didn't used to be the case.
It's incredibly frustrating.
