Pretty sure I know the reason why Frontlines Queues are bad...

I've speculated on a "limited number of FL instances" but like anyone else, it's just speculation.

When it comes to queue times however, in my experience, high avg queue times are "false readings".

I'm part of a very active pvp LS, and people have made a practice of announcing when their queue pops so people can track how often they occur, but also to know if people from the LS are in the same FL.

And because of this, very often we find people who have been queued for 30+ minutes and still haven't gotten in while someone else has gotten in multiple times - seemingly ignoring the queue line that the 30+min individual has been sitting in.

We've come to the conclusion that there is a huge bug in FL duty finder where some players, for whatever reason, get stuck in black void/limbo where they're "in queue" but are never assigned to a match. Even though matches are going on. This inflates the avg wait time tremendously.

We've made the general policy that if you hit 30+min and don't get a pop, while others continue getting in, you need to quit and requeue cause the game forgot you existed.
