False. GC restrictions are clearly the issue.

Fixed that for you.
Also honest question for those clamoring for the removal of GC restriction. What team will you be on? Random team A/B/C?
Do they take the horse mounts from everyone and just give them a generic PvP horse mount? Rework all achievements? It's not as simple as you make it sound and I've seen precious few viable alternatives.

[QUOTE=Wobi;3212849]Those of you with really high queue times I'm interested in knowing which GC and datacenter you are in as well as your rank. Some presume the GC restriction is the sole reason for longer queue times but I feel that might not be the case entirelyQUOTE]
I am on Behemoth (Primal Data Center) and am in the Twin Adders. I was getting 5-10 minute ques. At the most it was about 20-25. Just leveled crafting/gathering in between ques and did other stuff. Nice for the Esoterics and Law.

Easy solutions to fix pvp...

1) Remove the stupid GC restriction. You would have alot more people do it if they could play with their friends/guilds ingame.
- I was in Limsa, Average que 24-30mins, changed to Grid and <5mins everytime. (This is a SE created problem)

2) Make it drop something besides vanity gear.

If that happened pvp would be fixed. Honestly the new pvp is actually quite fun, there is just not much reason to do it outside capping seals unless you just want to pvp. SE is causing 2 issues. Pushing away the progression ppl and pushing people away in general with the GC restriction.

Twin Adder on Primal

Officer in my FC(Maelstrom) had an hour in queue earlier as AST.

I think the long queues is mostly due to the GC people are in.

As a Maelstrom in Balmung, I get a queue time of 10 minutes or less for my GC PvP matches on Seal Rock.

It is possible that the long queue time is due to Immortal and Adder being both the heavy populated GC of FF14.

I don't know what is the population now in 2015 but back in 2014 the data showed Maelstrom being the least populated while the other 2 had 10% more than Maelstrom

of the 3 GC leaders i'd say that Maelstrom has the manliest leader. IM's has braids, and the Twin Adder's original recruitment poster in 1.0 had a very well endowed Nophica. Manliness turning away the majority of players.

Aside of that, JP server is good for PvP queue.

I once joined a match, over a year ago.
Not even 5 mins later... I left and never joined again.
