Weasel Disconnect for multiple People at the same time - Causing massive Gear Loss without a Refund

Yesterday we had a "massive" Server Crash that happened to many players, that caused a lot to lose their Gear. It all happened at the same time (around 10:24PM UTC+1) and i was playing myself during that with a full Trio Squad. First one of my Friends got kicked and 5 seconds later i was also disconnected with a Weasel Error Code. When he was trying to reconnect, he instantly got a message that his gear was refunded and i was stuck in a Loading Loop. Restarted the game and i was being told i can Reconnect. Problem is, this happened during a fight and i got killed, causing me to lose like 11-12k of Gear. In general the Server Stability was super instable and i was being rubberbanded so many times during the whole day.

The Gear Refund System is not 100% working if the Server does have a Breakdown and needs to be investigated. You cant just let people lose their stuff, just because the Server didnt correctly identify that these Disconnects were caused by the Server itself. There needs to be a Check, if many people disconnect from a Server Region at the same time and its also a noticable number, that these should just get DC'd from the game and their Gear refunded. The current System is just not working all of the time, it cant be that my friend gets to receive a full refund after trying reconnect and i was able to reconnect while being killed during the DC.
