Try other campaigns than thorn while you're waiting, most, if not all, are high pop/locked on prime time so they are good fun too, and their queues are a lot smaller
Well but you want to PvP in a team you know, your buddies, right?
Of course you can go on Chillrend and queue up for Thornblade but you are not contributing to your campaign, to your emperor rank and most important: You are not playing with your buddies or just a hand full when the majority of your guild is having fun on Thornblade.

U shld maybe priotize things better, if we ll still play in this lag, nobody will bother to go TB anyways and u ll not have to worry about queue.

Thornblade is competitive and has great PvP (when not lagging). And during the early/late hours of the day there is still PvP to be found, unlike the other short duration campaigns.
Don't tell me to go to other campaigns. Just stop. Just shut up.
ZoS needs to fix queues.

See this thread:
http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/161703/to-zos-some-simple-fixes-for-vr-leveling-and-ridiculous-queue-length-in-cyrodiil-since-2-0-2
TLDR:
Make PvE worth it XP wise and many people being in Cyrodiil for XP (delves, quests etc.) will leave again, just like it was way better (queue wise) before 2.0.2.

While I share much of the sentiment, what exactly is your proposal of "fixing queues"? The only option I see is increasing population which will make it even more laggy.

More campaigns, or just add more objectives on the map to spread players out, instead of just zerging between imperial keeps all day long. If they manage to spread players more across the map, therefor less lag, and then they can start by increasing population.

As much as i would like it, a prioritized queue wouldn't work.
If paying players get ahead of non subs, the queue will never go down for non subs, and they won't be able to get in Cyro, just because everytime some ESO plus member joins the queue, he joins in front on the non paying one
Plus, it would most likely mean that actual pvpers would join the campaign and not pve scrubs that just do quests and delves, collect skyshards etc. They are free to do it at non-locked campaigns. Justice for pvp-ers!

My biggest complaint Brian is that when i enter a delve inside Cyrodiil that you guys are now encouraging with the new AP bonus i cannot return once finished. If i go to leave the dungeon i get a message saying something along the lines of destination is full or failed or something like that. Always happens when the server is pop locked. Worst of all is sometimes when attempting to leave a couple of times you get stuck in a never ending loading screen and then after having to force quit the game it's queue time all over again. As a PvP only players who still has an active sub(not that this is worth anything anymore) it's basically coming down to a 50-50% chance if i even get to play any of the PvP now with limited time.
Remove guesting, EU Thorn has had many guest players from the other servers come on recently as the campaign nears the end. Especially EP who are basically becoming pop locked from early morning right up until 12-1am BST. Which was unheard of before b2p. DC queues are taking an hour + in prime time i hate to imagine what it's like for the EP guys who seem to have triple our numbers.
