At least the Queue feels like 3.X again.

Taken at 4:25 PM. Not Primetime... but still.

I'm laughing, if only to fight back the tears. . .

One of my German friends said he had a crazy long wait for Astragalos, I had a 10 min queue the next time I tried so I have been wondering if there's a bug or something

It's pretty frustrating. I want to PvP but I don't necessarily want to do it in the evening - which is, unfortunately, the only time to do it on Chaos without ridiculous queue times.

dont fight them bb

The worst part is that there's gear that's only obtainable in PvP. I prefer PvE (PvP stresses me out too much), but I'm willing to endure PvP for a little while to get it. The only problem is that I'll die before I ever get in once. Why can't those skins be obtainable elsewhere? Like in the Gold Saucer or something?

I wonder if language settings might also matter. I queue with just English on.

Until recently I had a hard time getting the queue for FL to pop (though RW seems to be pretty fast).

Then I realized that I could select all 3 FL maps + the RW map at once. Since I don't particularly care which one I get, this led to super fast queues of 10 mins or less during primetime AND daytime afternoon/evening (just not during late night weekdays, too many people sleeping).

No.. Try harder.

Should have made it 200 wins for the mount at least so people queue more.

Not only did they remove the rank requirements for the gear forever ago, they drastically reduced the Wolf Mark costs for them back in 3.5 (a body piece went from 12,800 > 4000).

If you're referring to the Feast rewards, it's a reward for a competition. It SHOULD be exclusive. I competed for the first 2 seasons for the gear, and didn't rank for them, and I'm okay with that. Those that did (fairly) deserve them. SE already rolled over once on a Feast reward with those damn minions, and that was a very wrong move. If they start breaking the exclusivity of said rewards, then there's no real reason to compete for them, is there?
