Something strange in frontlines...

[Buff_Archer]

Yeah it's fan fest related, I was at wolfs den discussing strategy with a friend and best way to gear up and I saw people in ALL Soldiery gear with one person per class. Names were based on class, last name EVENTJ and I bet a different letter on each server. Bots don't really do soldiery gear. Also, bots don't typicaly react to my glamour that looks like I'm wearing only a set of chaps from the waist down or join me in dancing on the Aethyrite railing. We didn't speak however because based on the nature of the competition it probably wasn't allowed, and I didn't want to risk anything that could cause a disqualify for them. I hope that group won.

It's neat that they had the event, I enjoy Frontlines and I wish I could queue more often- if the player base could queue more frequently, there would be more people who knew what they were doing. The reason the people you see made the leaderboards is in part because they were able to queue a lot and we weren't at all. I wasted over an hour trying to do one match (Twin bAdders where queue is not as bad as Mael) with someone and we gave up; meanwhile the fan fest party probably ran 5 matches during that time and only reappeared for a few minutes at a time. My friend and I didn't even get a time estimate in DF. I don't hold it against the people participating of course, it wouldn't do for fan fest panticipants to be in queue the whole time, but that does expose how flawed it is for the rest of us pretty much all the time when we could be running more instances. So I am not happy that meanwhile i wasted my own time trying to get in when my access was apparently hindered in some way. Did anyone else experience this? I could have used my time doing other things if I had known the queues were reserved for this event. I'm not holding my breath for an acknowledgement of the queuing situation or minor gesture of apology but it would go far. How about an afternoon/evening where we all get fast queues, even if that means 3 opposing parties of 8?
