Curse

Having to wait 5 minutes for an AB match in the Kurzick side is frustrating and pretty silly. There are ways to fix this.

Simple fix:

Match queuing teams on the same side, and pit them against each other. Call it a "training exercise" and give the appropriate faction, despite which side you play. You can use the same maps in rotation.

Alternative/bonus fix:

Add "Faction Scavengers" to Capitol Cities in Factions. They allow you to convert your Faction from one side to the other, at the cost of ~250g per 5000 faction. They also let you donate faction directly towards your title, like you can in your guild hall, except towards the other title, again, at the cost of ~250g per 5000 faction.

The issue is, Luxon can get a match on every try, but Kurzicks have to wait over 5 minutes. More Kurzicks are playing than Luxons.

Double weekends just allow AB to hit critical mass so that matches actually happen. The downside is, when you're in queue, any benefit/hour you'd get from this over any other faction gain activity is significantly reduced.

The problem is more KURZICKS are playing than luxons. Luxon teams automatically get a match due to the large amount of kurzick players. Before HFFF was nerfed everybody was a kurz to max the title. Those who didn't are still trying to get kurz faction. Your waiting because your side has too many players. (I switched to lux and never wait two cycles)

There is no way that could be fixed, Skye. Just hope that the good teams on your side pop up when you do. I understand your frustration, but that isn't something that Anet can fix.

Sure they can fix it. Let me exchange Luxon for Kurzick faction 1:1 at the cost of some gold. That way, I can just join the side that doesn't have a queue.
