Insanely long dungeon and battleground queues!

[Gutcruncher]

Karazhan EU suks big time
saturday and sunday are okey if you are doing the weekly and then its only 2 to 5 min. everything els can be from 10 min to end of time. was in Q for AV for 3 hours and then i log out and sadly that is not that unusual put ofc you have to Q around 17:00 to 22:00 game time not get in there faster

BG tanks as on all other servers its around 1 to 5 sec
Healers 1 min to 2 min max
Dps 5 to 15 min
this ofc @ around 17:00 to 22:00 game time @ other time its longer

Cyclone-EU (Silvermoon-EU to be more specific)

Tanks: instant - 30 seconds (MAX)
Healers: Instant - 4 minutes
DPS: 5 - 15 mins.
BG: 2-15 mins ??? I don't pvp that much

But as you said, you want a specific heroic, which ofcourse means a higher queue time.. My advice would be to group up with some guild members / friends / puggies from your server, and faceroll the instant! bring a tank!

Cruelty EU
tank: semi istant -> 30 sec - 1 min
healer: 2 - 10min, depends on hour
dps: 10 - 40min, depends on hour

Usually at late night you will find better quality pugs, but it will take more time

[Sollace]

Dreadmaul - Bloodlust (Oceanic)
Alliance

Tank - Instant - few seconds.
Healer - 1-2 minutes
Dps - Up to 30 minutes +

Bgs :
Av - 30+ minutes
Wsg - 1-5 minutes depending on time of day.
Isle of Conquest - ~1 hour
Others are somewhere in between depending on the BG daily.

azjol-nerub EU

Tank instant
Healer 2 mins
DPS 10 mins

yup this is the same for me
well healer 0-2mins
dps 5-15mins

imo dps should get 3 emblems for using the randoms. I see a huge difference trying to gear my lock with emblems then my priest (Healer)

As a dps you have to wait ~10mins and your average hc run takes about 20mins. For tanks + healer they can run 3 random HCs a hour for ~18 emblems. As dps you can run 2 randoms per hour for ~12 emblems (assuming a heroic has 4 bosses)

So lets say you are going to run heroics for 3 hours a day that's leaves
tank + healer = ~54 emblems
dps = ~36 emblems

if you run heroics for 3 hours a day for a week that's
tank + healer = 378 emblems
dps = ~252 emblems

doing this for a month
tank + healer = ~1620 emblems
dps = ~1080 emblems

If dps would get 1 extra emblem for using randoms would not change that the tanks and healers would get more emblems per hour then dps (But it would be fare that the frost emblems would not change)

BG queues have increased on my server aswell, likely because the next patch will revamp the system entirely.

As for dungeons, think that has been elaborated enough before.

dentarg eu.
bg que - 10 - 15 mins
tank-1sec
heal-2-5mins
dps 7-15 mins ;D

Khadgar EU

Random Dungeon takes from 8-12minutes as DPS

Battlegrounds, the quicker ones take 8-10mins, the slower ones take about 25mins

I used to play on tarren mill(misery battlegroup) but transferred to Talnivarr(reckoning BG). The BG que times on Talnivarr is absolute shit, I almost thought it was a joke when I got here. The HC que is alright tho.

From what i've read here it seems like misery is the best bg in terms of quetimes. But who knows, I played there before they started with faction change, so maybe it's unbalanced now. But I remember never waiting for BG's more then 3-5min.

[qsubt05]

dentarg eu.
bg que - 10 - 15 mins
tank-1sec
heal-2-5mins
dps 7-15 mins ;D

u have long bg queue because u are horde, and horde in your battlegroup (eu-reckoning) is in big majority... so u must share with your brothers for each aliance in BG and wainting time growing up.

There are thousands over thousands of DPS-specced player characters, few healers and even less tanks. Your queue wait times for heroics are because of the high amount of people wanting to be cool and do lots of damage. Both on Rampage and Vindication battlegroups which I play on, the queue for tanks is instant, healers have to wait a bit longer, while DPS can take eternity. DPS from my guild often ask me or other tanks if we can help, and we ourselves ask if anyone wants to join Random Heroic run. If you're in a guild, you can ask your tanks to help, many of them are very nice if you're nice to them too. If you're guildless... Well, what are you doing then? Find a good one, stop being bad. :P

TR;DR: Ask guild tanks to help, they often do their own daily random runs for Frost Emblems and definetely have spots for their guildies. Only bads, rude people, guildless or clueless people wait in queues.


PS. Funny, when DPS finally gets into a random heroic, oftentimes he acts like an insolent whelp toward his tank, not respecting him and trying to be uber-cool by pulling for him. Tanks don't have to wait in queues, if there was a tank that finally got into your group, at least be nice and have some restraint, he will pull eventually when he's ready with his CDs.

Might be an idea to add what faction you are.

Sylvanas EU:
Alliance side:
Tank: I don't even click the "Enter Queue", and i already have a group.
Healer: 1 - 15 seconds
DD: Last time I queued as a DD (somewhere in the beggining of 3.3), I had 15 minutes wait time.
Battlegrounds: 1 - 5 minutes

Horde side:
Tank: 10 - 30 seconds
Healer: never queued as one, altho Blood DK's can heal (Blood Tap FTW ;D)
DD: Last time I queued as one, I had around 15 minutes wait time.

Kor'gall EU:
Alliance side:
Healer: 1 - 3 minutes
Battlegrounds: 1 - 5 minutes
Don't know anything else in here.

There are thousands over thousands of DPS-specced player characters, few healers and even less tanks. Your queue wait times for heroics are because of the high amount of people wanting to be cool and do lots of damage.

this could be one of the reason why queues are so long for dps. But it's more likely that ther reason why there are more dps then tanks/healers are that there are
10 classes that can pick the role to dps
4 classes can heal
4 classes can tank

classes that have no choice other then picking a dps role are 6. When I'm playing my priest I choice the role of healing because of quick queues but when I play my lock I have no choice I have to pick dps (obviously)

there are 23 dps talent trees in all classes combined
there are 5 healing talent tress
and 6 tanking talent trees

So I think this is a more reasonable reason why there are so many dps then just "kids want to be cool and do damage" (but I think that's a factor also)
