High Queue Times for Random Epic Battlegrounds

I find this problem to be more than “random”, but when the average wait time is 21-22 min and I’ve been in the queue for 55 min, there is no way that’s average. Even for a few people, that would throw that average way off (increasing). Yes, I could close my queue and rejoin, but to wait another 22+ min to see if it works?

Just taking a quick glance at your armory page it shows you are honor level 9, so I’m guessing the system is putting you into the beginners queue

There are two queue-pools from what I remember:

  1. honor level 30 and under (starter/beginner queue)
  2. honor level 30 and above (most PvPers get put into this queue)

I knew something wasn’t right when I read “55 minutes”, because at max level the random queue for a epic BG should rarely be more than 7-12 minutes - it’s usually 10 minutes at the most

Horde queues seem to average 6-7 minutes at max level, and Alliance pops seem to happen around the 10-12 minutes mark

So there’s no bug here, you’re just ending up in a queue that doesn’t have many players signing up to it (since most PvPers are 30+ by now)
