Cut my Seal Rock queue time in half by switching GC

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.

Pretty much this. Queue times blow on Flames.

It's kinda sad on Flames right now. Long queue times and poor performance levels. Can't say I blame you for switching gcs.

The performance levels on the Flames is hardly "low." My win rate last week was at 60%, though that was only with around 20 matches played.

Usually my win rate averages out to around ~40%+ each week if I play a fair amount of games (around 50), so the performance is not really poor. It really depends on the time of day you play.

I typically queue after 6pm PST.

My matches regularly look like this unless I queue with a premade party:

Thankfully I'm pvping on an alt so I don't really care about its winrate, but it's still frustrating because these people have literally no killing power. That, and they don't listen to directions, be it delivered politely so people don't get butt hurt, or rudely and spammy :|

Ouch, but I was referring more to the Immortal Flames on Primal than I was on your data center, seeing as we are on different data center.

Immortal Flames on Primal are fairly good, but every GC has their screw ups. What I think IS interesting is how no one GC really ever dominates across all data centers.

With Primal it switches between Mael and Flames, with Aether it's usually the Flames, on Gaia I'm pretty sure it's the Adders, etc.

Primal Maelstrom gets trash like this too now who jump over here expecting to be carried and pumping out less than 50k total dmg. Its always "someone else's" fault with these kind of people too.

My bad, I somehow overlooked your server and thought you were an Alexander on Aether.

"It's always 'someone else's' fault with these kind of people too"

Oh. My. God. I could rant for days on this. Days.

I don't claim to be a great pvper but I at least listen to calls, don't feed, and stick with the group...which is more than could be said for a lot of people in SR. It's just really frustrating and it makes me wonder why I continue queuing.
