Small thing I know, I mean who cares about grammar these days right, but still the wording “You’re position” as the title for your position in the WvW queue in the new interface is … disturbing.

“You’re position 23” as in “You are position 23”.

Makes sense to me.

Versus “Your position 23” which implies you own position 23.

Personally, I would have used a format like: “Your Queue Position: 23” or “You’re 23rd in Queue.”

The existing option is awkward.

If anything, I’d change it so that it is “You are position <number>”, but I think the current one is alright.

I disagree. I am not position 23, I am in position 23 in the queue. What would work, like others have suggested above for example, would be something like:

- Your position: 23.
- Queue position: 23.
- You have position 23 in the queue.
- Your position in the queue is 23.
- Your queue position: 23.

And if you must use “you’re”:
- You’re waiting in queue and your position is currently: 23.

It’s obviously supposed to be “your”, and the level of fanboy you have to be to try and defend this one is off the scale.

I like this one the best. That colon makes a world of difference.
