Well here on Chaos only Shatter pops lately, with seal rock and slaughter/secure popping rarely. But that doesn't matter. Queues have always been random and unfair for every mode.

Manual que is usually faster than using roulette, there is still something wrong with roulette as it can make ques twice as long than they really are. You can also get stuck in "limbo" where que becomes unending untill you withdraw, to prevent this i never wait more than 35min in que if no pop durning that time i just re-que and its not uncommon to get insta pop after this.
Well I do frontlines multiple times daily, sometimes even spend the day doing frontlines. It's the only thing I enjoy doing when I don't nee to farm/level something. And there are a lot of people who do the same, it's just annoying how unfair and random these queues are. Seeing your friends of the same gc get multiple games while you don't get any really makes me frustrated. And yes requeueg after a while helps.... But that also makes you completely restart the queue so you might have to wait for the people who queued before you to get in a game and finish it until it's over. Then after that (if the queue system works fine and logical) you should get a pop. But no, what happens a lot is that people who just got out of the match get in the second match without you getting in.
Happens a lot to me too, not always but a saturday night I had 2 matches in about 3hrs... and I saw my GC mate keep going in, and not as a preformed.
So yes fix this damned queue.
FL queues have been more or less dead/impossible to get into on Behemoth for ages. Most of the more serious PVPers left for Aether, making it even worse here. I really wish they would make the queue match across all data centres, making it region based instead (US/EU/JP). This would dramatically increase the potential pool of players for queues
I like the idea of the regional supersets for FL queues but in reality it's complex to do since they way data centres are already structured. Since they are all completely seperate from each other you'd have to combine them into one big data centre or do something that can link them together for this specific purpose. The cross-server party finder is small stuff compared to a cross-data-centre FL queue.
