You guys campaigned tirelessly for equal scenarios, to not have to come up against premades with bad compositions. The devs have responded and implemented a system that will ensure x amount of healers/tanks - thus increasing your chances of winning, and gaining emblems.

It's a given that you'll be waiting longer if you SOLO QUEUE as a DPS. It's the same in any game. Perhaps sort a group out and you'll find your scenarios popping more frequently (if anything, this new filtering system should serve as an incentive for people to start looking for groups/guilds to play with)

Some people are never happy.

I received plenty of pops with minimal wait as solo DPS the last few days and have zero complaints. So many people just whine and itch on these darn forums.
SCs are so much better than RvR because there is constant action and better balance (not always zerg dependant). I like whatever changes have been implemented so far for the added balancing.
...and BFP rocks!

Nonsense, I personally advocated against the changes to the not-broken scenario system, but was marked as dumb russian immature n00bpwner and whos opinion should be discarded. Now I saw that I'm not alone experience the consequences of the implemented changes, expressed my further concerns and was a bit displeased with the attitude to suck it up. :|

You complain that queuing for Praag only leads to high wait times. That is why your opinion is discarded, not because you are russian

Well the wait time in the last few days for me personaly increased ~4-5 times for Praag and the enemy class composition heavily drifted from mdps to rdps and thats my personal complain, I don't know why I even bother writing it again since you didn't bother reading in the first time ;)

If you're only queuing for Praag, on your own - as a DPS - then there is nothing more to be said.

They could also just find one tank/healer freind to que up with which would also increase their priority for the SC manager yes?

I have been duo queing with a knight and don't really notice any long que durations on my DPS classes.

I'm sure one of the arguments that will be used against this system will be "OH WOW I GOTTA FIND A 6 MAN TO QUE NOW IF IM DPS" etc...

You will only notice any scenario blocking if everyone that's queued for the scenario you're attempting to enter is solo and there aren't enough support classes in the queue to balance the SC.

Otherwise, the manager is prioritizing healers and tanks above you for scenario slots - just as it should. Don't like it? Maybe try rolling a toon that isn't DPS!

Honestly, it's amazing. People expect developers to wave a magic wand and deal with problems with no sacrifices involved from them.

Somehow this makes waiting for 40min justifiable besides the usual "suck it up"

Yes, it does. 12 of the 24 classes are DPS, and selfish players favour playing DPS anyway. Without any pressure on those players to roll support classes, the problem will persist.

By only queueing for BFP, you're excluding yourself from other pops as well, since the manager randomizes the pop order every pass.

No sympathy at all.
