Since I've come back to playing I notice I'm almost always in a queue that'll say for non-members there's something like 42/40 and half an hour or more to just sit if you want to play, and members have 0. My problem isn't the actual members having 0 wait time, if you're paying more to play, then more power to you. My issue is that I'll go from 42/40 up to 46/43 or even higher. How does the queue go UP instead of down while you sit there? Is there something I'm supposed to be doing differently, like leave the queue window open instead of selecting continue playing?
Members are joining the member part of the queue in front of you. The metagame is not like PS1 and we simply have to suffer.
Aww.. I won't be the "not fair" person here, but I will certainly say "not fun". And not even that I couldn't just play where I wanted with the rest of the outfit, it's that BOTH places I could play were well over a half an hour wait time just to get there.
Play another faction, or Play NSO. They never wait in faction balance queues and always go fast. If you want to play a faction of your choosing, on the continent of your choosing, and get to the head of the line... then you have to pay. it's a F2P game so complaints fall pretty flat.
Play all four, get more content and options, never wait! I've been doing this since 2012 and have never had an issue on the three servers this has taken me through....
