New Battleground Queueing Issue

So there was a hotfix earlier today to fix issues with group queueing, but a problem that many of us had hoped would be fixed is still in the game. That problem is that a person who queues and goes AFK will be able to keep 11 other people in a permenant queueing loop until they said person either returns or gets logged off. As I'm writing this I have been stuck in this kind of loop for 10 minutes, and myself and my friends experienced it several times yesterday.
It is quite annoying, as you might guess, but the solution is a simple one: If you do not accept the pop-up from the queue you are simply removed from the queue when the countdown hits 0.
EDIT: This seems to be a recurring bug when queueing with a group, and not just people troll afk'ing. Thank god we had a hotfix to fix the grouping...
EDIT 2: A new issue has started occuring to me today. My queue times are all of a sudden becoming very long before they pop, just earlier I had one that took 1 hour 20 minutes to pop the ready check. Took a picture of it at the 50min mark:

There is a timer penalty for leaving the qroup. So you wait 10 min for the AFKer to time out, or take the lockout penalty for leaving early.

lientier✭✭✭✭I think I have the same problem. Had it yesterday until I got tired of the constant pop-ups and then back to the queue. Now I have it again. So very annoying!
I dont know how many times I read forming group and then plop back to the "front" of the queue..
I am not really sure if it is really a player.
Has there been a bug report on this yet? I havent seen it?PC-EU @lientier0 -
Rikkof✭✭✭how much does you payed for it, pls remember me ?
Ah nvm, i found it
This costed you 40 bucks0 -
It's just the broken group finder tool, I don't even think someone goes afk, it is just bugged. Very frustrating as it is really fun when you can actually get in...0

ZOS hasn't seemed to acknowledge this problem, but yeah, my early assumption that it was someone afk'ing is incorrect.
From what I can tell this affects anybody, whether you queue solo or with 2, 3 or 4 people. It also got worse later on in the evening, so is likely yet another problem associated with server load.Edited by Saturn on May 25, 2017 2:58PM0 -

Yeah, when it actually works it's really good fun, but I don't understand how queueing actually got worse after the hotfix..0 -

The battleground deserter penalty only occurs if you exit after entering the BG map. If you exit group while queued there is no penalty. This penalty is kinda buggy, but at least that's the way it is supposed to work.
Sometimes penalty occurs after you leave map finishing an entire match properly or when there is some loading screen error. But so far I've never received the penalty just from leaving queue or exiting group before entering BG map.
At any rate I hope they completely remove battleground deserter penalty from the game, at least until queue system is fixed.

ahmad99ySoul ShrivenSame issue. Impossible to get in a BG during the evening. What's annoying is it wasn't aknowledged yet by ZOS. I wonder if they realize there is a problem.2

Hopefully they do. I mean what bothers me the most is that the hotfix honestly made it all worse, it's like ZOS doesn't know what they are doing.0 -
Fodore✭✭✭✭Is anyone else also experiencing the issue where you have to click the join queue button multiple times, sometimes even like 20 times before you actually join the queue? It's also happening with dungeons too for meBefore judging a man walk a mile in his shoes.After that who cares?They're a mile away and you've got their shoes.0
