Is this "Playing As Intended"?

Isn't it sad how your average wait time is expected to be 26 minutes?

I don't know any other games where you actually wait 10+ minutes to play or maybe I don't bother in the first place.

Average Wait Time for PvP queues is calculated in some way that makes it effectively uninformative and misleading.

As Aether Flames, '25 minutes' usually meant '45 minutes' (or more). As Aether Adders, I see 'More than 30 Minutes' when I queue up, and my queue pops within about 8-15 minutes on average (a 'long' outlier would be 20-25 minutes).

Its sad that SE is okay with this.

To be fair, if you asked Yoshida point blank, "Are you okay with this?", I doubt he is. He wants players to enjoy their time in FFXIV.

Resolving it is probably not as simple as we want it to be, though, especially since the three JP Datacenters don't have the same issues (so any fix for NA/EU would also have to avoid breaking or mangling the functioning JP system).

Lets not get into to many issues with the Duty Finder and Lore and crap. Lets go with the simple first in que first into match. That should be coded into the very system. Which we all know is not how it works.

If you have built a sub par system you should be making every effort in other ways. Which is also not a solution they have embraced. Two things make me really mad defending the lack of effort to try to sort out pvp and housing. We have know about these issues for two years. Two years and we have one fix to que, the not needing a full party to enter. That is not effort.
