Disconnections - Body remains too long

This is a common issue where when one disconnects, your body remains for too long allowing enemies to kill you. I hate crashing during a keep siege to only reconnect dead. Furthermore, this issue screws up teammates since they can waste a soul gem on you and are unable to revive anyone else. At this point, one can quickly look at a teammate not moving and responding and immediately think "he crashed again". I sometimes have to defend a teammates body until it disappears!

Why does this happen? The server should have a shorter timeout period for a disconnected body. If not, at the very least, make the body untargetable and unrevivable, and add a disconnect icon on it.

    I think the point of the delay is to avoid people exploiting by logging off and on multiple times.

    Even if someone wanted to exploit logging off and on, they would need to go through the long load time and risk being kicked out of cyrodil.

    Plus, at this point, there would be more disconnects than people trying to exploit that. They should just decrease or remove the delay.
