And I for one would rather jump into any scenario setup, rather then just grinding PVE mobs, or afking in Altdorf. Even if I lose the sc, I get kills (working towards stalkers/kill quests), renown, XP, some medallions/emblems, and do not feel my time was "wasted".

Had 30 min+ as dps on order at around 20 CET yesterday. 45 min+ on my tank in t2 destro. Borderline unplayable imo given the fact that orvr is nothing but zerging atm.

Imho one should do RvR, and be a dependable member of the given WB, be it a heal a tank or a dps, and not as a "side-activity", while waiting for an sc pop. Also in the middle of a keep take it is weird when half wb disappears from map going into scenarios. Sometimes RvR is awful, when there is just zerging, or boring stand-off at the keep gates. I was playing order side CET 20-22 hours, and got two sc pops.

Had almost ~40min wait time on my BW in a queue for Praag, have it recorded on my recent stream. Never I've had a wait time for more than ~10 when queuing for Praag only and now I'm glad that I've finished my solo/duo BW weapons and RR grind there.
And now when finally load there I often see only the RDPS teams dedicated enough to wait so long, that resulted in the ranged 4+sorcs, 4+ squigs and 3+ maguses in almost every Praag during prime time and barely any melee, aside of defensive shield tanks. Oh the fun of "balanced" queues!

Ye, im not sure if it was a good idea to "balance" the scenarios like this.
Me as a tank in t2, quees take allot longer than before aswell and i feel we lose way much scenarios just cuz allot of cases there is just 1 healer for 12 people.
So far it seems to only be balancing the tanks right not the healers.
To me it feels like the previous quee system worked far better.
Atleast in t1 and t2, as in t3 i dont care that much but in the lower tiers when i want to lvl trough scenarios its extremely slow.

Sometimes I play in a group, sometimes i solo. No matter what I wouldnlike an equal chance of getting a scenario pop.
I love that the dev team is trying to improve and balance this great game but I must admit that i'm not too fond of this change. I would rather do 4-5 sc's an hour and win half than do 1 in an hour and lose it.
Any comments from the dev team?

People complained that there are no healers and tanks in scenarios, except on the enemy side. Every day. That is, of course, when it wasn't DPS blaming the healers in their scenarios for not healing (them personally and perfectly regardless of how many enemies were hitting them), or the DPS blaming the tanks in their scenarios for not guarding (them at all times).
And now people complain that now their DPS will have to wait longer to get into scenarios for an increased chance of having healers and tanks. Which no doubt has nothing to do with the number of people playing healers and tanks instead of DPS, in those not-at-all stressful and entirely rewarding support roles.
So what's the perfect solution that'll please absolutely everyone in the whole world and ensure global happiness?

The perfect solution is that DPS suck it the hell up and play support classes instead of expecting everyone else to subsidize their fun.
