Really Long Queue Times (45m+)
It won’t be, this season. The matchmaking has driven away too many people.

Overall pvp population is small as is, Stronghold is an unliked gamemode so its population is even smaller Anet can’t change that.

This. Most people play conquest, so stronghold times get longer, so fewer people play stronghold and play conquest…etc.
Also the already relatively small population dropped off a cliff this season since many people got their wings early on as well as overwatch being released.
Dear Arenanet,
Over the past couple of days, my team (between 3-5 people) is having trouble with spvp queues for Stronghold. We have been experiencing queues differencing between 20 to 45+ minutes. Due to this we mostly had to give up on playing spvp.
We would like to hear how this can be solved.
Hey Palm,
You must be fairly new here, so you may not be aware of Anet’s 80% policy. Anet likes to get things around that 80% functional level only to completely abandon it and start the whole process over again.
In the case of Stronghold, Anet has decided to go the full 100% and give up on it entirely.
gl and have fun queuing as a group into a tiny subset of a tiny population that is pvp. And welcome to GW2.
Nobody plays stronghold apart from pip farmers in ranked. Go play conquest if you wanna move up anywhere past ruby.
FOR THE GREEEEEEEEEEEEN
Surprise surprise. I stopped playing stronghold back in SEASON ONE because of the pip farmers. Welcome to the party.
