    Getting the gear is unrealistic

    Queue 30 mins
    Fight for 1 min
    Get 130 marks
    repeat

    When I need like 50k+ marks for a armour set, that just isn't really possible. Works out something like over 200 hours queuing. And when you're in a queue you're pretty much locked out of anything else interesting in the game

    Unfortunately, Wolves' Den is more or less dead. Have you tried your Mark farming in Frontlines? You get 300 a game, there...for a loss. And the queues are much, much better than Wolves' Den on pretty much every server.

    This.

    Though I still wouldn't pass up something like a reward multiplier based on queue time...

    I've tried queuing for frontlines but even as tank/healer it still says "expected time 30m+". So yeah, thats just as bad

    FL has no job priority for queue; your time will be the same no matter what you go as.

    If your times are awful, consider switching GCs because evidently the PvP community in your current GC on your data center is dead. Ask around which is best between Adders/Flames/Mael.

    I'm maelstrom and yes it is the least used I think, but wouldn't that mean I get in faster because I'm needed more? Just like how tank/healer insta queue dungeons

    Frontlines queues tend to have an initial hump where you're queuing while a game is going on, so you have a longer queue. Once you're in a game and you queue right after, queue tends to take minutes at the most, even if it says more than 30m. At least, that's my experience with it.

    Frontlines is the way to go. I went from Rank 14-22 and could afford an entire left side set -or so- of the I100 stuff for Glamour.

    Its really not hard to get gear in FL. You can get enough marks for Body, Pants, or Weapon a matter of days, if not just one full day, if you que frontlines consistantly. Compared to PVE thats realy fast when you are locked into 1 peice of gear per week for the end game content.

    Thats the way to go. After a frontline game ends, dont just play something else. Queue again for frontlines asap. Besides that, only queue for english language in frontlines. These two things can speed it up by a lot.
