5-Minute Queues in Saphire
Lots of people quit as that’s a big blowout time. Once they discover they’re on the low MMR end during that time they quit for the night.
My queue times were 7-10mins on average while I was going through Emerald and only getting worse as I go up divisions. It’s ridiculous.
only 5 minutes!
My last wait time was 25 minutes in diamond at 11pm last night
lost of ppl stop playing this game fyi
What do you expect? The best thing about this game for many people was the combat, sure there were always issues, but the way the HoT powercreep made combat very tedious and generally increased the level of cheese, plus the way elite specs largely removed any sort of variation, basically destroyed the combat, so lots of people quit / play less.
Plus when you try to prop up your PvP population by bribing PvE players, when those PvE players have their backpack, title, whatever, most stop playing PvP.

Sums it up quite well. They wanted to make everyone buy HoT and therefore introduced way too op stuff for elite specializations. Which killed the combat. Now large numbers of players leave the game and probably won’t buy the second expansion. Classic long term fail.
My experience of Season 3 is so small, but I also got a feeling queues got longer.
Lack of variation in builds + blow out games —> cause players to quit.
Deniara / Ayna – I want the original WvWvW maps back – Desolation [EU]
The matchmaking/pip system made me lose all interest in sPvP. I enjoyed sPvP a lot before the ranking system.
