If i understand it right queues are based on total server volume not logjams in the starter areas. Spacing out in waves would only have prevented queues for another day or two. The problem remains there are too many people for the amount of server space available.
Frankly I'm surprised at the acceptance of q's so early on. Each subsequent mmo should strive to improve on past ones. Accepting q's as standard is odd. People grow to care about their toons. How many times should they be told to abandon those toons and start new ones on lower volume servers? How much time invested in a character is too much to just abandon and redo?
I'm willing to give BW some time to fix their problems, I'm just skeptical because it would seem there is a lot of info avail on players session play times and total play times yet it seemed to be ignored. I have hope because I've had no lag yet so they should be able raise the caps on servers. This will only help if they bar new entries to full servers for a time and put new servers in place.
Finally, while I believe dc'ing into a q is a step backward for a mmo and a fix should come asap, the real issue is unacceptable q times.
