Return of Reckoning

I know T2 sc pop rate always been a bit of a pita, but T1 used to have almost instant 24/7 pop rate. And that was one of the fun things about WaR - being able to lvl till at least lvl 15 pure by scenarios.
Dunno whats goin on, but last month is a disaster- having to wait 50 mins for T1 sc pop IN PEAK TIMES is simply retarded and totally discourages from lvling any alts.
Whats goin on with those?

It's because this game has no effective mechanic to encourage people to play on the less populated side (quite the opposite actually), it's not new. As a result you almost always have more players queuing form one faction leading to higher q times for that faction.
If you want near instant SC pops, play the less populated side.
How can you tell which side has more ppl queuing? If you're waiting 30mins for a pop, you're on the heavy side.

isnt that an incentive? ^^

If ur theory was correct, it would mean that exactly during last 4 weeks destruction all of a sudden started outnumbering order by 10+ times. Kinda hard to believe it, sorry

t2 was dead on live and it's going to be dead here without the devs working some magic.

Most hardcore players making alts skip t1-2 altogether via powerleveling because they see t1-2 pointless atm. This also contributes to lower population. T1 was always alive because it is filled with new players trying the game out, you would be surprised how many people wash out in t2.

i'm aware of that, thats why not surprised bout t2 que times.
But T1 all of a sudden becoming a dead "waiting for an hour for a pop" zone as well is really weird and doesnt make any sence

I have noticed t1 sc pops are very slow lately, but that could be because of many things.

I find T1 and T2 pops alot better outside of peak times. People play their mains/higher lvls when there is alot of ORvR action(peak times). Alts seem to be lvled in off times, or when ORvR isn't super active.

When your t1 pops are that long what is the ORvR like in the tiers?
