Loss of position in Cyrodiil over a 5 second crash

This has been a problem for me tonight - 4 times I have been kicked from Cyrodiil, and I can see my network blipp for less than 5 seconds... I have to restart the game client and wait for my character to be removed from the game, then when I sign in I have to wait in queue again, 2 times out of 4. It is the last night of the campaign and I have been in some critical positions when this happened, one of which was way behind enemy lines. Please fix alliance war so that players either stay in their spot in Cyrodiil for 2 - 3 minutes after crashing, or give us a priority queue and let us return to where we were before the crash.

This greatly impedes my desire to play the game, particularly the alliance war... And with good reason, if I can't be sure that I can stay in a tactical position if my internet blipps or the connection is lost in some other way.

I will be contacting my ISP and doing my own troubleshooting here to determine the cause of the blipps but I do not believe that players that have been out of game due to force removal from server should have to wait in queue and respawn at the front of their alliance.

Any additional thoughts or people having the same problem, it would be appreciated if you posted.

    happened to me before... it was a night WAY back in the first round of lagblade(thornblade) I crashed, and had to wait for a 60+ player long queue to get back in. think it was near the end of the round or something.....

    the lag and crashing is why I completely abandoned thornblade.(if that's the campaign you mean)

    idk what hit the server and made it turn into this...... malfunctioning mess. It was NOWHERE near this bad at launch. so its not your PC.

    Yes it's thornblade - and I did notice that every time that I was kicked out of cyrodiil my computer had to re-connect to the network which takes less than 5 seconds... but I would need to restart the client to be able to log in. Since then it has happened again but I was in combat so it didn't punt me from cyrodiil this last time. Whatever the case, I reached my next reward tier so I'm off for now.

    By the way, the queue for Ebonhart Pact getting in was over 140 players long at peak... I did university assignments and kept myself from afk'ing off the server while I waited.
