I hate this change myself. On The Shadowhand I could get in 6 to 8 wz's before my HM queue popped. (1.5 to 2 hours) If it is a close match I won't leave, but if there is no chance of coming back, I am the only one who loses out by leaving.
There will be consequences to this change. The FP users will notice a drop in the amount people queue.
I myself refuse to sit around a wait at 50. I might as well get GW2 or go back to WoW for Mists of Pokemon.
