Have they given a reason as to why there is no queue?

[Srivastra]

The small queue is pretty quick and sometimes you will load in straight away as you wont notice its there.

This is meant to reduce the load on the log in server as to not have *rough guess* 16000 people trying to log into the servers during peak times (54 servers full queue of around 300) instead it drops it down to about 2500-3000 people.

That makes the most sense of anything I've seen so far. Thanks!

Isn't there a Q?

I believe there is a Q and a 1017 error, I have seen both.

Right, there is a queue. They just don't have it on all the time. I guess what I meant is why are they turning it off and on when it seems to make more sense to just leave it on. And I agree it's a total kick in the arse to actually get into it and still get 1017.
