Disclaimer: The following is all conjecture and I have no proof or data to backup my claims.
This seems to me some issue with TTL on a packet somewhere. The upload on my ISP is absolutely terrible. When trying to zone during times I know my internet is at its worst, the screen will sit loading for ~3 minutes, finally kick back out to login screen, then when I login again it says my character is still in game and I need to wait. So while the character was never really disconnected from the server, there was some signal lost along the way telling my client I was still connected. Likely this is an issue that would require optimizing for poor connections, which would have a decent chance have having a negative effect on gameplay.
