    7 Hours playtime at Frontline

    Looking at the Ranks in PvP, there are Players with 160 fights.
    1 fight lasts 20 min. That's 3200 min for one Week.
    That's about 54 hours for 1 Week and 7 hours per day without Queue time
    That's for Frontline. Other contents are lasting 30min. That would be even more playtime.
    How is that possible?
    In my case i can do 78 fights per week. And i'm playing each day nonstop from 4pm till 2 o'clock in the morning.
    Sorry for my bad english.

    Basically this ^.

    My Q's with Flames used to be 5 minutes or less. Now that we've had a surplus in players they've gone up to an average of 10-15 min with some going as long as 40 min a wait (especially if you're unlucky and join the queue line in between matches, in which case you are basically waiting for the current matches to end before you can get in). Adders, at the moment, are probably much faster. Mael is the one that traditionally has the longest queues.

    Some people also match fix to get in faster. I know that there are pre-mades on certain data centres who Q up multiple pre-made groups at the same time to change their Q times. Sometimes it works out faster. Frontlines is a little more difficult to fix, but Wolves Den is a lot easier to get into when 2 full pre-mades are repeatedly queuing against one another. A lot of people used to do this to easily clear their weekly WD challenges for bonus exp. There's not a lot of variety in the matches when you do that, though.

    Thank you for your answers. Now i understand. The average time I have to wait for an Invite is about 25 min (Flames on Shiva).
    Doesn't bother me any longer, I'm almost lvl 50. I would have liked to level faster. But it's almost done. So, thanks again and good luck at the Frontline
