People who purposely decline bgs in order to screw up the que. Please add a 2 minute timer until the person who decline will be able to que up again

    Decline trolls? Why do you believe people are maliciously queuing for BGs and declining just to troll?

    What possible evidence can there be that this behavior exists? Most of the declines happen because people enter loading screens while in the que.

    It could also be a bug, similar to the LFG bug in Random Dungeon Finder.

    Good point, but I haven't seen the lfg bug in a while with the dungeon finder, so I assume it's a loading screen thing.

    Could also be people going afk to get the pizza bites out of the oven and accidentally letting the ready check time out.

    Decline trolls is not a thing and never has been.

    When group finder is lagging, sometimes you can accept the pop twice before the alert goes away.

    Second accept will turn the first accept into a decline.

    decline trolling is a real thing, but if I have to guess it could be someone afk or some sort of bug happens is a lot more common than troll declining.

    There is code in the game to prevent you from “decline trolling”. It makes you wait a little bit before requeueing.

    These frequent declines all happen a few seconds after the queue pops. It’s someone accepting the queue pop twice due to lag.

    To understand the mechanics of it, plz Group queue for Vivec (when there’s a line) right after queueing for a BG. Whichever one you accept first will cause you to drop out of queue for the other one.

    Also sometimes you queue then you are waiting for awhile so you start doing something and it pops up when you are in the middle of something.

    Perhaps with the much shorter queue now people are just not used to it poping up so fast.

    Might also remember this happened when BGs launched in the last xpac. Zos did make some adjustments and it did seem to get better, but like the dungeon finder it still seemed to have more issues the more people that were using it. And it just got opened up to a lot more people. So if the past is anything to go by, it makes sense that it has more issues now.

    @aliyavana its not trolls. The group finder has been buggy from the beginning. People aren't actually declining, but a number of actions can make it decline.

    A year later and it's still buggy.

    Declines were so common after launch. It’s just buggy code. While there might be trolls as well, I’m quite sure the programming is the real culprit. Adding this to the already buggy group finder just wasn’t a very good idea.

    Might be that its more load on system as more people want to try out BG and this generates more bugs.
    Same as dungeon finder bugs out if to many tries to queue during dungeon event or quests tend to bug on release.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.
