Requesting a reality check to establish whether or not I'm turning into a curmudgeon.

My understanding of Q-synching for PvP events is that organizers use an off-DC language (typically J on NA) so that they both avoid interlopers and avoid annoying people who want to play a normal match. The only exception I know to this is the weekly single-job FL series in which the Aether Q-synchers queue in English. I avoided today's Gunbreaker installment for obvious reasons, but a member of my FC was running her dailies and got dumped in it. Not surprisingly with that much HP on the field, it ran the full twenty minutes and apparently was less than engaging.

Is this reasonable behavior? I saw the promo for this on a 35k-member PvP server, so the fact only half a 72-person field turns up for this tends to confirm it's a bloody silly idea in the first place. But is this really okay?
