Hey, I'm reasonably new to the game so this is my first play through of the main story.

I hit 50 a few days ago and come to the point where i need to complete Castrum Meridianum.

First time i queued, over 2 hours and nothing...until i went afk lmao.
Second time over an hour then someone declined and then its like i fell into the eternal queue void.
Currently sitting at 70 mins in queue questioning my very existence

Is this normal?
