    People are not exaggerating you just got lucky so no need to be snide about it
    Snide doesn't mean what you apparently think it means. Try again.

    Has nothing to do with being lucky either. People still do it. I've done it numerous times, tank queue, heal queue, DPS queue. Yes, DPS gets it longer, on average its been 25-45 minutes. TBH though I was queueing not for gearing my classes, but I wanted some easy to get gear for my retainer. I couldn't roll need on it as my SCH (which got a faster queue) so when it did drop I would be able to get it. This has all been within the past.... 5 days? or so. I think it took me 3/4 SMN runs to get the items I wanted.

    Different data centers for one, I play late at night in eu which isn't even close to peak time
    Again to clarify, just because you have short queues do not presume everyone does, be it different data centers, different times. Not everyone gets to play at peak times

    I called his post an exaggeration not because of queue length but because of how "little it is done". It gets done plenty of times, now, if the majority of its at peak times? Can't help you. Because people queuing for it directly affects queue times, those numbers were used, my point, which you can re-read if you don't believe (post hasn't been edited) is that the exaggeration was for how little its QUEUED for. It has a standard dungeon queue time, albeit during peak hours (presumably, that's all I can attest to at least).

    I did not presume everyone has short queue times. The only thing I've disputed is that its dead content and no-one will queue/does queue for it. That is simply false, and yes a queue time was given to measure it, because that's the only way to tell. Had I queued for it, let's say, 5 hours later? Yeah, I wouldn't get it. The same thing applied to when I queued for Coil-turn 1 at 8AM and it hit 75 minutes. I said... hmmmm.... nope. Doing something else.

    I play at peak times, when the majority of people play. Again, this is all a testament to you saying people don't run it. People run it. And I'm sorry, but unless you work 7 days a week, there's at least 1 or 2 days you can play at peak time.

    I never said it wasn't run, what I actually said if you had read it, that when the third part is added I doubt it would be run
    And you then went on about how I was exaggerating queue times as your most was 45mins, without you taking into account different data centers, or what time played.
    Nice to be rude to a stranger you have never spoken to before!
    Have a nice day

    I.Never.Once.Said.You.Were.Exaggerating.Queue.Times. NOR did I call YOU out specifically about exaggerating queue times.

    Also, let me flip this around on you since you keep throwing it out there.

    Well it sure is nice how you went on about it taking so long on queue times and becoming ignored comment without you taking into account different data centers, or what time played.

    See how much sense that makes?

    Last night I queued on an alt that actually needs lab to continue, was in queue for 2hrs before giving up.

    Please read. Also. Note not once was I "rude". Heck, I didn't even call YOU specifically out on it. You're the one who is making it personal by continually calling me "snide" and "rude", and all I did was disagree to the thought in general, not your specific experience.

    Having said that, I will say........Get your facts straight. Especially when they're presented specifically in a thread you're addressing.
