Nah you should pick the right side to guarantee a pop.

Can I be rewarded as well If there's a city and I don't log in?

But when was this city? I think its a fair trade off that pushing city during sub-prime hours is less likely to be rewarded than if you pushed and took it during EU Prime Time.

Giving free stuff for just queueing or doing PvE cities is a bad solution as it rewards mindless play/the lowest denominator of player will go and afk for rewards.

Everyone wants city,

People who afk in city can be banned so I don't see the issue.

The system in suggesting is a "Thanks for trying" kinda deal with the benefit of having more people queue and less people be upset when they don't get a pop, as i previously mentioned it doesn't even have to be a full crest it can be as low as 2-3 crest shards so actually doing a city and losing would still be the fastest way to gear up.

If you think people will go "Oh boy I'm gonna login to the most overpopulated realm and queue for 2 free shards" I dno do those people really exist?

There is currently no plan to reward players for simply queueing, even if it's city. I know it's disappointing, but that's how it is. It's not like it happens every single night, unless you're queueing at the last minutes or dodging several city instances every time.

Or people is stuck on whatever faction pushed city and population balance is off. :roll:

Well thanks for taking a note at least hope you change your mind in the future. :D

Yes they do exist, and lots of them. Do you remember when they had to remove BO ticks when they gave out 10 renown and Pre-fort zones when they gave a couple of invaders? The majority of pugs sink right to the point of least resistance if given half a chance.
