The queue isn't necessarily caused by too many in the server, it's a bottle neck. The lobby server only lets so many in every 30s or so, to prevent too many people logging in at once.

If there's 5000 people ahead of you in the queue, it's still going to take a nour or so for the lobby server to feed you all into the server even if the server was suddenly empty.
Wrong.

The queues are due to the servers being literally full. The log in bottle neck isn't the issue. Read the post - 100 people get let in after 100 people disconnect from the server. A lot of this server space if taken up by players logging in first thing in the morning, and AFK botting all day so they skip the queue when they get home from work.
