Is is normal to wait over 45mins?

I have not been able to get into a single fight.....

Annoying.

It only takes 5-10 "No Opposing Party"s before getting in for me.

Wow. I've never had to wait that long.

I've waited times like that on dead nights...but isn't the daily quest thing involving AB?

Does your district have any other people?

According to Anet, as long as there are enough people, there will be a game going.

Their experiment basically says this: 48 people from the same guild, 24 on each side goes into FA to synch and see if all 48 of them will get in a game. The result: 11/24 entered on kurz side, 12/24 entered on Lux side. The rest of the guildies were left out.

So what's your excuse Anet?

I dont have an issue with waiting to get into a match but when ever I join a match I usually end up in a laggy Euro server.When playing on that server I got freezing lag then have to quit PVP and get dishonorable status.
Being on SE Asia with no direct connection to europe make gaming very annoying.

Holy crap that sucks, if your playing on euro server or something dead like that, try american server, i never have to wait longer than 6-10 countdowns.

I was playing on an american server, there were 3 districts at that time and each timer countdown you would see the same people around. Every few countdowns you would see 'a few' people gone meaning they got into a match but for the most part you would not see anyone going anywhere.

And yes, that was during the day of the zaishen involved AB.

There were plent of people being left out on both sides (Kurz and Luxons), after a while I did go around seeing if I had better luck on one side or the other. The story was the same everywhere (and in all districts!). Anywhere you went you could see (by my best guess) 40+ chars waiting around. I know maybe some were not waiting to get in (just hanging around?) but a wait that long, on the day of the AB quest? Come on Live team, debug the team grouping algorithm. Something is messed up and is leaving lots of players out even the same players multiple times (some other were complaining about the same issue). I'm assuming there's no cap on # of concurrent matches or at least that it isn't that easy to run into the cap limit even on busy days.
