Its a much better solution because 15 players inconvienced is much better than an entire server of thousands.
They could spin up an extra 50 servers if they wanted to so that nobody had a queue. That approach could lead to the very serious problem of dead realms months later. I’d rather they be cautious about how fast they expand for this reason.
The queueing sucks and i can sympathize: i play on Herod. I literally have to login remotely from work after lunch each day in order to be finally playing when the kids are heading off to bed. That being said, I’d rather deal with inconvenience now if it leads to long term health of the game.

Blizzard did NOT say this. They did NOT “tell you” this.
You are judging a game that is supposed to last years, based on the first 4 days.
Blizzard has already commented on this. They said they refuse to base their years-long strategy on the first 4 days. They say they could easily open up 4 times as many servers, and you would have no queues now…
…and in 1 month all those servers would be under-populated, and would stay that way for YEARS. Is that what you want? It isn’t what Blizzard thinks most players want.
Blizzard knows a lot more about this than you and I know. Blizzard understands launch-time overcrowding, the problems of under-populated servers, and so on.
