Being Forced To Wait 10 Minutes For Character Connection Timeout (No Thanks.)

[SilvertearRen]

Well.

My Comcast connection reset itself ten minutes ago, disconnecting me from FFXIV and I am now stuck waiting for my character to time out so I can log back in.

I really would appreciate it if Square Enix would increase the "connection keepalive" checks so that when a disconnect happens, the character would be logged out of the game by the time the player attempts to reconnect.

Basically, it goes like this: Player gets forcibly disconnected by douchey ISP. Player gets back online, attempts relog. Server recognizes login attempt, automatically disconnects any "ghosts", and permits the player to reconnect on the second login attempt.

Please, implement this. For the love of all the Gods that have ever existed in the lifetime of humanity, implement this. I am SICK of waiting 10+ minutes for my character to time out.

Edit: This is the fifth time it's happened in as many days.
