Guild Wars 2

I’ve tried to look for some information on this, so I apologize if I missed a similar thread. What I’m really looking for is some information on how queues are handled – more often than not, queues seem to select people at random to get in, rather than simply first in line. My friends will queue 15 minutes after me, and get in 20 minutes before.

I know this is happening to a lot of people, but I can’t fathom any kind of recognizable pattern to why it is. If anyone has some information they could share on the subject, I would be very grateful.

Certainly someone else has to have noticed this occurrence. I’m sure it was a contributing factor for some of the exploits people abused. Why would it not simply go down a list by time in queue? Is there a hidden priority of players selected to enter, beyond that?

The queues are currently still buggy. ANet is currently working on these things, but we will have to wait for the fix.

I try to requeue every so often, and I’ve seen times where I get in 30 seconds after requeueing. (Your milage may vary)

The queues do seem to involve multiple bugs as far as I can deduce.
I’m not even sure that the queues even has the same cap for each side and can allow more in from one world than from another due to some bugs.
