I can't speak for other Data Centers, but on Primal you better start playing again, even with the shitty queue times you get as a tank, it's been fairly consistent at 10-20 min and we're getting all plat/diamond matches quite often. (At least like 9-12 pm EST) When it's slow you'll see a few gold or silver thrown in.

I hate even mentioning it, because I feel like I will jinx it, but i'm not seeing any of the cheating, hacking, disconnecting, tome farming players in weeks.

And no, I don't join the public Discord, and it's not needed to win consistently.
