As many arena players know, queues on Frostwolf take VERY long to start an arena. I'm wondering what staff/community think of making a custom MMR system like we did for the Cataclysm realm? Would really help the arena players get more games, and increase enjoyability overall.
This is really needed. It took 5+ minutes to get a 1,430 mmr team in 3v3 as 1,650 mmr. The queue time on Frostwolf is ridiculous, a custom mmr search system could actually bring in more population.
My mistake, you are indeed correct. As the rank 1 rating for 2v2 is 2.7k, I agree the MMR system works fine to be honest.
However, we definitely could use a custom queue system. Would it be possible for you to give us details on how the queue system currently works? I know typically the queue system will look for another team near your MMR, and then expand the search every x minutes. What is the x minutes for our realm and can it be lowered?
Edit: On a second thought, I do think a custom MMR system could help FW quite a bit, since almost no-one can get the 2.2k rating required to get the PvP Enchants (Hunter BiS enchant happens to be that one). What are your thoughts on that too BlueAo?
I agree, queues take way too long and to be honest this is a big turn-off for almost all pvp players. I think a custom queue / MMR system would really help increase the population of arena and pvp players in general, specially those who want quick queues to cap and gear quickly (which is A LOT of people).
