You just don't want people switching because you're an Adder and want to protect your queue times.
@OP, if you actually want your queue times cut, Adders are your best option.

On Aether, about Rank 25+ for all GC in PVP so I have relatively good experience to say that Flames Queue timer is about = to Mael, and Adders timer is pure win. Sure there are days where its bad, but 9/10 you hit it right away within first 15 and go back to back thereafter.
Yeah, on aether, Adders are much faster. And considering I have a near 30% 1st place and 31% 2nd (not great, but still decent) pugging it then it's quite fine especially if you just like PvPing.
Either Way, you'll probably level up and gear up faster.
If you wanna get the rewards, you'll probably have to be patient.
If you're good, come over to the Flames!
If you're bad, please be on Maelstrom.
I need any advantage I can get these days. D:
I was actually pretty good on Maelstrom to be fair. Or so I was told. I'd have to rank up from zero but even if every match is lost that's more exp & marks than never getting a game at all with Mael.
I've been told that Primal Flames have quite long pop times too now, but at least my friend in Flames gets some action. I really miss how much fun it was, hopefully the cheating & botting scum don't play anymore. XD
Quoted wrong text but yeah... Flames queues were so bad.
Little tip for queue times for your second match and onwards. Once you finally get in your first and the battle is over, immediately exit and re-queue. Don't look at the scoreboard, don't commend. Just exit and re-queue ASAP and you'll have a shot at a near instant queue pop. Get distracted and you'll miss out. That said, I'm a firm believer in commending healers at every opportunity in PvP.
Mael = to Flames because both are not even close to Adder's queue time.
Playing on all 3 = Mael and Flames queue timer are almost unplayable.
Adders all the way if you want to farm/rank and actually play pvp.
I'm not sure when the last time you were in either Mael or Flames, assuming you're currently on Adders, but Flames was horrible. Any given day you're lucky to get into a match within 30m. This was about 2 weeks ago before I swapped.
Mael, currently, even as of last night, you get in in less than 5 minutes constantly during primetime (6PM EST onward). Almost always see the same faces each match.
