Did you just switch? I'm pretty sure I was in a group with you not too long ago.

I've seriously considered switching, but am almost rank 28 and really don't want to lose those levels.

Well, you have a choice. Staying on Maelstrom and getting 1 game every 1.15 hours and praying its a win so you can get 400xp/600marks which it is a high chance it will be a win, or swapping to Flames and getting 2-3 games per hour with a high chance of losing but still getting at least 400-600xp/600-900marks without the losing streak multiplier which is more than what you get from winning. A Flamer in my ls was on a losing streak and got 750 marks and was getting b2b games. so if xp and farming marks for gear is more important to you, sadly losing with Flames is the better option because you get more games.

If those stats are true then that is pretty sad. Losing should never be more efficient than winning.

And it's true, you lose your ranks and can no longer equip the gear until you re-gain the ranks?

blame the hunt

People shouldnt have to switch GC to be able to PLAY pvp anyway. There is also no way your getting back to back games.

If there are ~48 Adders, ~24 Flames and ~72 Maelstrom members queuing in a Data Center then instant ques for Flames is possible while Adders would be getting ques of roughly 30 minutes and Maelstrom would be getting ques around an hour long.

My queues on Maelstrom are almost always 30 minutes. One time, Sunday morning around 9am they were about 45 minutes.

I have a FC member friend who plays for Flames, and he says his queues are always 5-7 minutes.

The ratio of 3 GCs on Priaml maybe at 5:3:2
