    On primal servers everyone rotates to the "flavor of the month" gc, that being the one with who seems to be winning the most. However a a guy in my fc states that the flames are getting 15-20 mins queues as flames while me (maelstorm) am getting 30-45 mins queue, if I'm lucky. How is this possible? aren't we all queuing for the same/similar instance? The only explanation I can come up with is that flames are lacking in pvp atm so the queues are quicker, similar to tank/healer queues in other content.

    It's not that difficult to understand, 24 or 8 people from each GC, everyone in Mael = stacked Mael wait lines. No one likes Adders/Flames due to supposed lose rate = no one queueing = ones who do queue = insta queue into those instances.

    Removing GC restrictions would unbalance the nature of the game and make GC related rewards harder to get if left in place.

    They need better incentives in my opinion for people to join and play otherwise we'll be left with another Crystal Tower scenario where there are possible rewards and no one wants to queue/run it.

    If 32 Maelstrom, 16 Flames and 8 Adders are queuing for frontlines there will be only one 24 man match occurring at a time. If each match takes 10 to 15 minutes, Adders will have near instant queues (as they jump into the next match when they requeue), Flames will have 10 to 15 minute queues (as each 8 man party will alternate matches), and Maelstrom will have 30 to 45 minute queues (as the 4 parties will have to wait for the other 3 parties can have a match before they have their next).
