Mark my words. The WvW Queues will kill GW2 faster than SWTOR going F2P. I am sorry, but PvPer's want to PvP, and not sit in queues all day. My Twitter is about to blow up from all the complaints about the queue. Why is this going to cause GW2 to fail?
It is really simple. People play games for certain reasons. They either love PvE, Crafting, or PvP. If PvP is broken than players patience wears thin really quick if that is what they love about a MMO. Who wants to sit in a queue for four hours to play just one WvW game when you live and breathe PvP?
I think no one will stick around for WvW queues. I can imagine just from all the comments from my post yesterday about players taking it slow that a four hour queue just isn't going to cut it. The players who sight see for three hours a week will never get to PvP with those kind of queues. Supposedly players have other priorities other than just sitting in a queue for a straight four hours. They have families, work, and more. Most players seem to only play in 1-2 hour sessions if that.
If I actually played GW2 I would be livid. I only play to PvP. One chance of PvP in a 6-8 hour gaming session would cause me to ragequit immediately. I expect PvP to happen 24/7 whenever I want. I could deal with a 10-15 minute queue, but over four hours is a huge fail whale.
Arenanet better figure this out quickly, or they will be joining City of Zeroes in the unemployment line at the end of the year.
