Not sure what the purpose of the q timers are as they don’t provide useful information. More helpful might be if they gave averages for the role(s) as tank/healer q’s greatly skew the averages. Also, helpful would be an indication of time frame, for example, average over last x minutes.
Sometimes estimates aren’t accurate, especially when there are multiple variables involved that can increase or decrease the average.
That’s literally how it works. The estimated time you see is an average for your specialization based on the last X groups that were formed.
Does this with all of my dps toons. Only reco stick with tanks 
Yes… but being off by 300% or more is not just a little inaccurate. It seems to me to be a problem with the algorithm. It ought to be fixed.

Again, 300% means literally nothing. If you queue up as a healer and it says 1 minute but it took 3 you don’t go aw man its 300% off. It’s 2 minutes. I don’t know how you would ever get an accurate estimate for someone queueing on the downswing of groups forming, but feedback on such isn’t really in the scope of bug report, or customer support as this was in before.
Yes… yes I would. I’ve queued as a tank with an estimated wait time of <1min and the wait was over 5 minutes. I think that’s a problem and ought to be fixed.
It’s absolutely appropriate. I think it’s a bug in the queue timer and it ought to be fixed. You can disagree all you want, but in the end Blizzard needs to look at it. And if it is, in fact, a bug, they ought to fix it. Further, a moderator specifically moved the thread from the CS Forum to the Bug Forum because this is where it belongs.

If this were true id love that que my funded account and twink account together and get grouped with outher twinks thatd be great
Still looks like the queue timer is borked.
Queued up as tank with the cooperation bonus… sat in queue for 20m, never popped, bonus went away.
A minute later, healer bonus shows up, swap to healer, queue… sit in queue for 20m, never pops, bonus goes away.
Healer bonus shows up again, queue… same thing, 20ms pass, queue never pops, bonus goes away.
What is the point of these bonuses to queue, when you literally can’t get into the dungeon to do them?

This last weekend has been particularily bad for inaccurate timers on the timewalking queue. I’ve currently been in queue (as a level 80 mage) for 60 minutes at this point. The average wait time is listed as 8 minutes. The queue popped only once during this time, but somebody decline - which supposedly puts be back in the furn of the queue. As I type this I finially got in the dungeon.
Edit: most of the solo dps queues this weekend were in the 35-55 minute time range. The “Average” wait time never was above 11 minutes when I checked it.
Did it start at 8 minutes and then creep up as the time in queue increased? Or did it simply stay at 8 minutes for the entire hour you were in queue?
