It's easy to know when a connection drops: people stand still, brandish charges don't cause explosions, people walk off the arena, and so on. Unfortunately, the client just hangs there until long after the connection gets back. So, I suggest a 'refresh connection' option that the client uses to immediately log you out and allow you to log back in ASAP.
'Referesh connection' option.

This is a "band aid" type fix
This is a "band aid" type fix for something that should be handled better by the client. Rather than fixing the problem, you are suggesting that we provide workarounds to make the problem less disruptive.
If a band aid is the best they can give us, that's one thing, but rather than asking for a band aid, I'd much prefer that the client fix itself quickly without having to relog.
"that the client uses to immediately log you out and allow you to log back"
By logging out, you'll be dropped to Haven. The slower approach we have at least has a chance to keeping you in the same level you were.
