PLEASE FIX THE BATTLEGROUND FINDER QUEUE (waiting for players... every time with just one missing)

Always the same pattern: 7 players join the BG, one player missing, wait 5 minutes, the battleground close "not enough players".

Same going on for MONTHS now. Happened also on your livestream to the lead combat developer so you know what I'm talking about.

When was happening before I could have the doubt that may be was a bug, may be it was really the case that in 5 minutes the finder was not able to find another player.

This week we have the clear confirmation that this is definitely a bug.

It's happenning on a regular basis, even at peak hours, with a PVP event going on. When I queue for BG at peak hours this week the queue last usually no more than 30 seconds. There are a lot of players queueing for BG, but yet it's happening over and over again to be thrown into instances that have 7 players and only one is missing.

If someone, out of frustration (because they know at this point that the game is not gonna start) abandon the instance, another player popup usually in less than 20 secs. Peak hour, PVP event going on, plenty of players queueing, but yet the instance is filled only up to 7 players, there always one missing and the bg closes.

Happened this evening about 40% of the times (out of 10 queues, 6 worked, 4 got in the 7 players endless waiting bug).

Please fix it.

    Same here. Trying to start a game - always thrown in an instance with 7 Players and closing after 5 Minutes. At least 5 times in a row. Thank you for wasting half an hour.

    I give up - that is unplayable.

    Both queues. It's rare for 4vs4 but common for 8vs8. It looks they start a game whenever there are 6 or 12 instead of full teams.

    It's not a bug. It's obviously a new feature nobody asked for just because someone thought waiting for 3 minutes is a great idea.

    This was an obvious bug even when the new BGs were released. Back then, the BG wait times were even shorter than during this event, and half of the BGs ended up just not starting.

    This bug is one of the reasons that I prefer Cyrodiil.
