Option for Customizing Disconnect Timeout

Some streamer RIP to disconnect - although I dont know if a lower timeout would have fixed this or if it was a bad server crash/bug/whatever: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/6o2zbe/nugiyen_rip_again_due_to_dc/

There is some discussion including other links like this one: https://youtu.be/Q_tBlZ-8xJo?t=46m30s Transcription

Some people may want a higher value than 6 secs: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1925115/ (not sure it would help with this problem though)

Any news on the 6 second disconnect timer being changed from a static duration to a user-configurable one?
For most builds, suddenly losing control of your character for 6 seconds is almost guaranteed death if it happens mid-combat, and that's a pretty large issue for those playing in HC. Even in first world countries, the best available internet connections can just cut off left and right, and most people I know have lost characters to this at least once. Every high-level player I've talked to agrees that it should be changed, and it's just hard to imagine that the minor downsides could possibly outweigh the upsides. It'd also enable HC to many people, who'd otherwise prefer it over Standard, but just can't play it since their internet connections are consistently too unstable.
It's very frustrating to never hear anything about this, and to think of it as the incredible patch that could be, but for no reason isn't.

Maybe try reading the thread - it is not about cheating.
