In the previous patch, the match was not starting due to missing players in the teams. I thought they fixed this problem. But they had changed only the problem. Now we play every match with the missing player. Have you ever seen a football team which play a match with a missing member without reason? I think the team that developed this game is just the programmer, because I don't think they're gamers.
I demand whatever needs to happen in an ordinary Multiplayer game:
*Equal number of players
*Power balance of teams
*Easy to find match
I demand a greater sanction for the player who leaves the match. Please consider our demands.
regardless of what matchmaking tool is in place, there have to actually be players engaged with the content.
for pvp, battlegrounds is just not something the vast majority of the players are playing.
there IS interest, and there are those who love it.
however, most of us just dont do pvp content at all.
we pve carebears get broken queues too.
waiting for a tank in dungeon finder? i will just go bake a cake and do my taxes.
but if there are no tanks in the queue, everyone else has to wait for one.
the point is, there isnt a flaw in the queue system if not enough players are playing the content to make full battlegrounds or to have faster dungoen teams group up.

damn, that is a lot of open job openings...hmmmmm, did they just fire/lay-off a bunch of folks - can't imagine they're expanding their staff just to improve existing game performance or to create new content...

But, if there's still only 10-11 people in the queue after 7 minutes.......
So maybe there just aren't enough people playing battlegrounds. Like Cyro, maybe it's dying and players have lost interest in it.

That is is so wrong. I had that impression that BGs are not so popular because I play only vs the same 30 players each night.
But once zos removed the MMR system for 2 weeks I saw probably thousands of new players. The queue was 5 seconds long and each game I had different opponents.
The problem is their match making system.

I was going to write a post of my own regarding this but bashev basically said what I was thinking.
Easiest solution right now imo is to remove the mmr system so we're back to how it was about a month ago. Best time I've had in BG'S in a long time.

This is what they should be doing, regardless of any queuing issues. Current MMR is absolute garbage, and is in no way indicative of actual skill level. It needs to be replaced with a more robust metric that reads from multiple stats, to get a more complete idea of a player's skill level.
And until that happens, until the new metric is actually ready to deploy, current MMR needs to be removed, because it does way more harm than good. Makes queue times unbearable, severely limits the amount of players you can match against which basically kills match diversity, matches you with perpetually harder and harder opponents regardless of whether you're actually at their skill level, allows for matching against premades due to premades just having their MMR inflated to differentiate between them and solo queues, the list goes on.
Remove current MMR, work on a new solution that's just overall better, own up to your mistake. Constantly fiddling with numbers is not going to help if the actual equation is not correct.

i think, Gear setup and stats should also be considered when calculating MMR. The player Marks himself as a healer or tank in order to find an easy match, but but actually he's a bow ganker
Of course, there are many problems that need to be fixed before considering my proposal.

If a bridge is cracked, are you going to study civil engineering and repair it?
