But back to topic. I agree with the OP a little bit.. A few things you need to remember is in the past week there have been 3 server down times, so that throws a few people off, time zones come into it also, with daylight savings we are now 3 hours different from WA time, early starts for work affect our guild, and then you got the usual family's, dinners, GF's and personal lives.
And lastly i think a lot of people will be in Regs just to get there new gear up.. no point going in under geared and feeding the top guilds comms atm.
Give it time, Rated will happen...
Few things SNX have done in the past is help other guilds gear up too.. encourage them, give them tips, specs etc.. if you go in there and smash everyone then no one will queue anymore.
