    It will be a bold request, but why just don't launch an instance immediately with first queue request, and fill parties while in progress? It will be a guaranteed entry at duty register for everyone. And yes, it may happen 8v4v2 but better than 72min queue, and a decent marks farming even for the underdog, isn't it?

    If too bold, make the queue pop after a maxed wait of... 10min? 15?

    I've seen plenty of people request something similar to Overwatches Skirmish mode for PvP queues. Essentially, you queue up and are put in a "dummy" instance with everyone else in queue if it's not popping near-instantly. You can run around, adjust your HUD, practice bursts, etc. and then when enough people are in queue you're all put into a proper match.

    Would be a nice way to actually gauge how many people are in queue, since you'd be able to mess around with them all in Skirmish while you wait. Of course, they could also just give us an indication of how many people are in queue off the duty finder like almost all PvE queues do (I queue for a Leveling Roulette right now, for example, it shows 1/1 tank, 0/1 healer, 2/2 dps). Why we've never had at least that for PvP is beyond me... Queuing for PvP always feels like you're the only one there because of the lack of that, you see a long wait time and have no way of knowing how close to filling the instance is, so people just leave... If we could see that it was say 67/72, well maybe then people would stick around since it's "close to filling".
