I believe that way it is now was due to compensate for system instability initially where players were getting errors / crashes regularly? Can't remember. But honestly though, can they prove that people are abusing the system and not actually reconnecting due to a spotty wi-fi connection or actual browser crashes etc? Would be nice if it becomes the way the post by unregistered above suggested though.

Oh I wasn't aware of that. Looks like this isn't much of an exploit then
