Have they ever discussed being able to pick with BG mode to que for?

I was wondering the Devs have ever discussed the giving player the option to choose which mode to que for? I absolutely cant stand Chaosball and just got it for the 5th straight match and just dropped group and turned the game off. I like BGs but being forced to constantly play modes you dont like just isnt fun.

It's been discussed. Us players discuss it a lot. And as many times as they have changed the system I'm sure they had discussion each time.

The answer seems to be that the BG populations aren't very big and creating further subdivisions will result in astronomical que times. Some people already have horrid que times, so I think our hands are kinda tied.

Yeah that was a reason i was thinking could be a problem. Population and que times. Its a hard reality but the focus of the game isnt pvp eventhough around launch and stuff it seemed more of a focus. It is what it is.

It is a tricky situation because many people have quit the game due to not being able to choose their mode or choose group/solo in the past.

So it becomes a spiral of player reduction, in an already suffering subsection (bgs) of a section (pvp) which zos puts the least amount of effort/time/resources into
