** ZoS, what is being done about PvP Campaign overloading/vacancy, insane queue wait times? **

    Because I'm sure he knew how imbalanced the PVP populations would be when he created his toon.... Like most AD he likely conspired with the masses to stack the alliance with an overabundance of zerglings.

    Telling people to "just re-roll" is ridiculous, and you are only saying that because you 1) are in a position where you don't need to re-roll to avoid long queue times or 2) you have so much free time you can level an alt in couple of weeks.

    Some people (myself included) rolled our toons at pre-release and have invested an incredible amount of our scant leisure time into our characters. "Just re-rolling" isn't something I am going to do, as it would take me months to get another character up to par with my main. And it isn't just the VR leveling, it's the alliance war leveling that people don't want to throw away. And I think this is how most people on AD feel about it.

    This is something ZOS needs to resolve through: 1) incentives 2) character transfers or 3) expanding the player base.

    Yes, ZOS absolutely should do something about it.

    They haven't, and if you have faith in them at this point, then I feel you are more optimistic than the situation warrants. How long has everything else taken to correct at this point? Do you expect any sort of character transfer or incentives before 1.6 at the absolute earliest? (remember, it's 1.5 that's currently on the PTS)

    What sort of health will the PVP in this game be in by that point? How much more attrition do we have to suffer because NA AD players can't be bothered and can't understand the severity of the situation?

    It took about 60-90 days to completely kill the imbalanced first season campaign servers. How many more cycles of Thornblade do we have before there's a collective shrug and this game's PVP is dead?

    It will take less time and be better for the game for the rerolls to start right this minute. You'll be ready and able to play, likely before 1.5 even hits if you start today and work all this weekend.

    Until then, yes, you can very well suffer.

    Suffer the long queues.
    Suffer the lack of competition off hours.

    Suffer the death of the game as people maintain your mindset.

    Even if myself and a bunch of fellow AD re-rolled today I don't think it would save PVP. I think it would just spread the queue times across the other two alliances because currently the PVP population is either unwilling or unable to fill more than one campaign. I don't think PVP will recover until there is a larger player base and multiple active campaigns.

    And do I have faith in ZOS to add incentives or whatever in the near future? Absolutely not, I was just pointing out that this is an issue that is ZOS's responsibility to resolve and there are multiple solutions that may work if they ever chose to invest the time and implement them.

    I think the PVP community will slowly die off in the coming months and my queue times will thus get shorter, so I'm not going anywhere. I don't think PVP will be healthy until there is another large influx of new players which I hope will happen around the console launch when they start a new marketing push. Until then I will spend my queue times eating dinner, watching netflix, and collecting herbs.

    I agree, asking people to give up a character or characters they have worked on for so long, since early access for a lot, and start completely over as a red or blue is not the right way to go.

    I myself don't mind waiting in a queue as I usually have things I need to do outside Cyrodiil before entering. If you really want to get the population sorted out then bug ZOS about adding character transfers because I don't see this problem changing unless people can keep the character they've put all their effort into.

    And yes, Alliance War Rank is a big factor and needs to move with the character if they ever add character transfers.

    As for OP and wanting a response from ZOS, you won't get one.
