And where honestly do you think is the "interaction" in the new content? How many people talk truly (not trolling) while waiting for this or the wb?Quote:

The only reason they did it here is obsessive player control and creation of artificial timesinks for propaganda purposes. Else they would have made true solo instance with cooldowns or a true multiplayer instance with other things to do then waiting in a queue.
Tarantia or Ardashir arena. You can fight there alon.Quote:

That allowed me to be alone in the other instance since I was one of 2 doing rank 2 pve fights at the time.
In some ways we can as players say that some instances are pvp fights clubs and the pve people leave for others. In the long run Funcom should make the number of players in an instance smaller , but the PvP should do matchmaking from people in all instances.
the biggest problem now is that the sparring arena have not been working last 90 minutes.
Gief cross-server activity and pvp pool should atleast have an option to include all instances.
I would say 6 or max. 8 for PvE ArenaQuote:

When I grind factions in Khitai, I can at least pick up quests to do so when I want to and start immediately.
When I try to get my one monthly world boss kill for the cloak quest the time window is at least large enough that I can reasonably alt+tab or afk to do something useful in the meantime.
Even when I ground the Vanaheim rings on my HoX I knew that once I set my foot into the instance at least I could immediately start performing slaughter that would make Xotli proud.
This, though, is just annoying. If Funcom wants to limit the speed at which players can reach Rank 4, by all means put a cap on the amount of pet fights per day that reward reputation, but please, please, don't make us idle around ten minutes for thirty seconds of action, wasting our time in such a boring and unproductive manner. Well, even more unproductive than regular MMO activity. :)
I think should be an alternative. Once i might want to show a friend how I kill the dragon in 100,500 times) or i want do this solo.
For this is suitable arens at OT noble. Anyway everyone going there once, when doing quest. Also will be good to update arenas in the guild cities, where we can fight our war piglets, to rank 2 maybe. I think it will reduce queues and create an option for those wish solo.
how about my guildies idea?
[Guild] [Ignorantus]: Hmm, they should add a service that sends an sms when it's your turn
