    We'll see. The max queue right now is what, 2 minutes?

    7 for Horde in my BG. But I heal anyway, so no problem for me.

    That is interesting, I hope it doesn't mess queue times too badly. Either way if this works as I think it will I might start doing random bgs again.

    I've seen obscene numbers of healers on either team numerous times... I don't think evening out the number of healers will be that difficult, when there must be at least 100 battlegrounds going in which one side has three healers and the other side has none, and 100 more battlegrounds where the tables are turned.

    Yeah, I think it'll be ok in the end too. Fingers crossed here.

    Just hoping there's a spec check system. Even if DPS queues were 2min and healer queues were 30s, that would lead to DPS queuing as heals I'd bet. Especially honor grinding bots and the like.

    I hope the ques won't be 5 minutes longer because of this, main reason i quited LFD and did scenarios, because scenarios takes maximum of 30 secs of que, and LFD 15minutes.

    I hope it does a hard spec check.

    Like FORCING you to be in that spec when you enter the BG.

    Well, I think LFR should have it too.

    With the new 'spec choosing thing for loot thingy' I think it would be better.



    Also, I hope that it attempts at an optimal healer count (2? 3?) but if it can't find one in x mins, it will just go with whatever it found.

    I don't think longer queues are better than no healers. (you sometimes win without healers )
