    But just out of curiosity, how do you feel about this topic? Do you feel the duty finder's estimated wait time should be reworked to more accurately reflect how long a person could expect to wait to find a group? Or maybe you feel like I'm making a mountain out of a molehill?
    I feel that if less than the needed people are in queue, it should mention this. "Waiting for more players" or something to that effect.
    Seeing yourself rise the average wait time is not useful information, even if you can garner the reason using deductive logic.

    Sorry, I need to make sure I don't misrepresent you here. Are you saying that you think the duty finder wait queue is mostly fine as it is, but it would be helpful if it told you when it's waiting for more players?

    You would be correct.
    What I mentioned would alleviate your initial issues as well. Perhaps not alleviate the lack of players in a specific duty, but that's somewhat outside SE's control.

    Okay... do you think I don't understand that the game doesn't have enough players registering for a duty when I get stuck in DF hell? No, I'm in the queue because it's waiting for enough players to register. If it wasn't waiting for players, it would just pop up and I could enter the match, no waiting required. I don't need the game to tell me "yo dude, not enough people are signing up for this, so we gotta wait a bit." to understand why I can't get into a match.

    The thing I'm complaining about is that the duty finder gives an estimated wait time, and the estimated wait time is completely inaccurate. My problem is that the game ALWAYS says the average wait time is less than 5m, yet I haven't been able to do a ranked match in the past 2 weeks despite being registered for at least an hour every night.
