There is a change in 2.4.0 that will allow the servers to kick up more arena instances in a shorter amount of time, generally lowering the amount of time it will take to get into a game with an equal amount of people queuing. We want to avoid calling this a one time "queue cure" as we're still not entirely certain how the changes will affect queue times under full load. Especially considering the increase in activity we see with any major patch release.

I think they're guaranteed to have some effect, but if it isn't an adequate impact we'll need to make further adjustments.

all night long i’ll hunt for you
let me show you what i mean

I'd laugh if it was only a minute difference.

Will the change have any affect on the way the queue system pairs you with closely rated teams?

anyone queuing on the last day, should expect longer queue times, because way more than 1/7th the arena teams do their games on the last day

I love how we have to wait till 2.4 for something that should have been fixed 6+ months ago.

Good work and being late to the party as usual. Cant wait till you get some competition so your lazy ways go or your game will.

And I freaked out when it was 15min doing it Monday evening once....

Even assuming a 1hr time it might still be an okay time/epics ratio.

Yeah I've seen it say 50 minutes too. It went right back to 8 minutes a minute later. It happens once in a while, but it's never 50 minutes. Nice job trying to whine harder about something that clearly didn't really happen.

I have a suggestion for a "further adjustment". Use some of that 150 Million dollars a month (from subscriptions alone) that you get from us to light up some more 2v2 servers.

I have waited 15 minutes between matches. And no, we didn't do our full 10 that week. o_O

I signed up to play World of Warcraft, not World of Arenacraft.
