Are you also queueing for other lfr, 5-mans, scenarios, and bg's? The timer will keep ticking even when you're in those.

"If I didn't have bad luck I'd have no luck at all."
It has been scientifically confirmed that if Eiffel was green; he would in fact die.
The weekend is the worst time to raid LFR by far, unless you can only do it on weekends, I'd just completely avoid the weekend for it, same goes for the AH, everything drops in price, although that has it's advantages for Tuesday and Wednesday...
The queue times in general suck, especially when you're waiting for a tank and then when you finally get one, it's one with zero gems and enchants that healers can't heal/don't want to put the extra effort in to heal someone who isn't putting effort into their own character, which is fair enough.
This. Judging by posts on queue times on forums, I have the feeling that being able to queue for multiple queues at once is a hidden feature of 5.4.
Since 5.4, at least for me, queue times for LFR have been pretty much a non-issue.
I queue for all the LFR's I need (up to 4 at a time, I think), then queue for a 5 man. I wait about 5 minutes for the 5 man queue to pop. Then after that, I don't have to wait again. As soon as I'm done with the 5 man, the LFR queue pops, when I'm done with the first wing, the next wing queue pops, then the next, and so on.
I can do 4 LFR wings and a 5 man with only about 10 minutes max of waiting, as a dps. I usually do this on the weekends during the day.

go on to trade chat. pay two tanks 500g each to run you through.
That UI makes me shudder.
Any ways, when you're the last person in an LFR raid, it makes sense that you'd be highest in the queue priority, since your dungeon has already started, but that doesn't seem to be the case
I tested it once. I flat out went afk and watched a movie, i could see my monitor. The raid fell apart just as it started, first the tank left, then a couple healers left, then we sat, and progressively more and more people left until i was the only one left and we were in queue for 4 hours before I finally just closed my game and went to bed.
This was before 5.4 mind you, it was in ToT ... so I'm guessing there's some kind of rare bug with that particular situation.
Signature Nazi's suck.
So blizzard should release a tv commercial saying play wow 7 million players (subs )and dropping like a rock but make sure you use LFR on tuesdays because any other day is to late in the week thank you for you paintaince cash paying cow. now put youre head down and keep chewing nothing to see here but a dying game says the fanboi.
There is also a bug that if your raid falls apart during the raid and you're the last one left and requeue, you actually won't be put in the queue. Found this out during wing 3 last week and left the queue going while I played ff14. 4 hours later and it didn't pop yet new ones were made (my friend queued about an hour into it for same raid without killing any bosses in that wing that week and got put in a fresh one). Leave raid and requeue is your only way if you end up with <5 in raid (we had 3 in beginning of requeue). I reported it and just queued again after leaving, took 30 min for wing 3.

Take your own advice.
Keep in mind that without LFR funneling people into raids, participation will fall off a cliff and result in smaller, less elaborate raids in the future. Which could be what you want, but to many people who "love raids" hate LFR without knowing it keeps those raids in business.
As for the topic at hand, I've routinely done Siege LFR (and every LFR before it for that matter throughout the expac) on weekends every week as DPS and my queues average between 35 and 45 minutes. This is the first week I have ever experienced a queue over an hour long, and it was close to an hour and 40 minutes; this was Friday evening. If this is widespread (not saying it is but if) it's unusual. Also, to the people saying most raid earlier in the week, what? Most casual gamers do the bulk of their gaming on the weekends when they typically have their days off i.e. Weekend Warriors.
Pay a healer or tank to queue with you. Or make a healer / tank friend. (this is supposed to be an mmo after all).
Or do what most people are doing now and hop on open raid and find a flex group in 30seconds no matter what time of day.
