Castrum Queue and the overflow lottery

[Nafreyu]

Nothing was stolen from you, it was like this on day one. The highest contributors get in, going around the map and doing the most CEs. That weighs much more than the priority clusters.

Yeah, I did a full hour of every C.E as a tank getting Gold rating on each. As a tank, you'll understand enmity puts you at top for completion..

I queued as 18 out of 48, and I didn't get in.

So actually, my spot was stolen because I made sure to be active and participate and be in the first few to register.

That's what this entire post of mine is about.

It's a lottery. You were one of the 55 people to enter it. If being #18 mattered then they'd just stop recruiting once it hit 48/48.

And are you certain that simply participating in other CEs gets you some kind of priority? The only time I've gotten priority for a CE was the one following the Unicorn Flakes skirmish, specifically from completing that skirmish. That's happened to me twice.

Perhaps I haven't spent long enough in one session to see it, but that doesn't seem to be the same mechanism as general participation.

spots can't be stolen. it chooses randomly from registrants. what number you registered as is inconsequential.
