What are queue times like in T1/T2 servers?
Honestly depends on your time zone.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.
Im from SoS (Top Tier 1 server atm). Queue times vary alot. Majority of the time there is no queue. Even sometimes peak times can vary alot too. From my experience peak time will be 0-5minute queue. Although on WvW start of week the queue can get above 30 minutes for EB.
On Blackgate only reset night it’s like 20 minutes but you can get into any borderland at any other time because we don’t have many dedicated guilds covering all maps at once.
3rd place in T1
I’m from JQ (longest standing T1 server), currently ranked #2.
Back at launch, que’s literally went for 7+ hours. You would log in in the morning, que, pve to your hearts content and hope you were on long enough to break que and get 1-2 hours of wvw in.
Now, its nothing like that. There tends to be a que in Eternal battlegrounds averaging about 15 minutes. There is normally at least 1 BG with a ~5 minute que with the other 2 having little to no que.
The exception to this is during reset on through late saturday night/early sunday morning (PST). Reset que’s normally are 1-2 hours, Saturday <1 and steadily declining from there.
So don’t let fear of que keep you out of T1! The horror stories are from a day long past

On Friday nights Tarnished Coast will sometimes have 30min – hour queues for EB. All the borderlands might be 5- 15 minutes. The rest of the week we rarely experience any queues, and if we do then they are very short.
ATM ques aren’t really a issue after this wvw update I’m betting money they will go insane for a least a couple months

every server ranges during the time of the day.
EB for SOR has a queue for maybe 18 hours out of 24 everyday (excluding weekends).
Usually there is at least 1 borderland open up.
