Poe1: Spectres lost on disconnection from hideout while modifying setup

Hello,

I've sent an email to support@grindinggear.com but received an automated response that led me here.
I'd kindly ask for help.

Yesterday at around 20:20 Italian time(that is about 15 hours from the time i'm writing this), while in my Hideout (i.g.n. Farsora) i was reforging colors of the gem sockets on my gear and reorganizing gems. In doing so i switched to my second weapon/shield (where i level my gems).At this point i had 4 spectres - Naval Officer, Perfect Warlord, Hulking Miscreation, Perfect Forest Warrior, which turned into corpses while switching gear. i've learnt the hard way to do this sort of thing in my Hideout, had lost my spectres previously doing it in Karui (there really should be a pop-up warning).

It wasn't even 5 seconds since my spectres turned to corpses, that due to a network lag spike i have been disconnected.
At reconnection i was in Karui, and the spectres were lost.

I'd like to testify first, how that is possibly a few weeks, if not longer, of grinding, for a new player such as i am (no qualms in admitting that i am a "noob"), and that it feels as though minion users are almost discriminated against in the atlas talents(most will render the character "immune to burning ground" i.e. but not the minions, and while anyone with only the main character enjoys the full benefit, us minion users constantly put our hard earned spectres and animated guardians in danger).
Furthermore, Spectres don't get saved with the gem as the Animated guardian's gear, so that's an even bigger danger in case of disconnection.

I'd like to ask you to somehow reinstate my spectres.
I've left the spectres gem socketed, in hope of some grace. I won't log on again, in order not to produce any further logs, for support to be able to find them with ease. (btw, how to access combat logs and ingame logs? i'd gladly provide documentation).

I've spent some money on tabs, would have most likely spent more, i have started playing because i wanted to create "an army" of summons, tried to make a toxic rain ballista build only to realize i am really uninterested in other builds, so i don't know whether i'll continue playing otherwise.

Thanks for understanding. whether you decide to move forward or not, please reply. i'll be waiting, it's been a nightmare.
