If they used the client ping instead, they could have a much smaller threshold of like 3 seconds of server being unable to find the client and then auto tp you to safety.
Instead you have to have a time last maybe 10 + seconds which could lead to a death even if you disconnect.
Or if you forget to click for 10 seconds while still playing the game, you get pointlessly yeeted out of your content.

This will be coming in a few weeks, as the change requires an engine change which is not yet available. We took the decision to release the crystal early and working sub-optimally, as it's still better than nothing at all.
So as for the topic of this post, the escape crystal did not come with any rule changes to the way the raids work. Changing raids is a bigger discussion which will need to be brought to the team separately, although I've put it on the discussion agenda now.
