    This phenomena has been going on for quite a while, but it's picked up again a bit this week- although my experience is only with casual CC. I think it's fair to estimate that at least 95% of all other regular dungeons, raids, trials and roulettes succeed without a withdrawal- yet CC alone seems to only succeed about 80% of the time. Whatever the true figure is, there's a blatant and suspicious gap and I can only assume this is people somehow cheating the system so they get matched to be on their friends' team. I can only imagine they have 3rd party program telling them who is on what team when it pops or something. In any case there is something not right here and I always withdraw from what I then see as a 'contaminated' queue before it pops again so as to lessen the chance of being cheated against. PvP is already unfair enough by fault of it's construct before having to suffer all the other factors.

    so casual que sync isnt an issue as its not against Tos and its the only way friends can play together, secondly are you honestly suggesting theres a 3rd party tool of that capability and its being used for casual cc.......i mean im open minded but this doesnt seem probable and sounds like something made up, and lastly the OP was discussing ranked so its def a false equivalency to discuss casual on this thread

    Nah don't think that's it.

    I'm on Aether, it's still one of the most poppin' DCs in the game.

    Casual queues are almost instant, I've used them to level 5-6 characters. (Yeah you've read that right, I've used casual CC to level 5-6 characters from 30 to 90)

    Of those characters, I've gotten 5 post gold (Yeah, I had individual characters I've leveled multiple times. You can find my posts about hitting post gold 3-4 times in a single season)

    Ranked queues are broken right now.
