I’m not here to make another post complaining about BG queues (which are obviously ridiculous).
But what about giving us a notification on our phones so we know when queue pops?
If I’m going to sit in queue for 90 minutes I’d like to be able to get some stuff done around the house. Turning up my volume to hear queue pop isn’t really an option if I’m outside mowing the lawn.
Lol
Is it that serious?
I mean if you had to wait that long to get into something I am sure you wouldn’t want to miss the opportunity for when it finally arrives.
This would be pretty cool, imo 
I have been in queue for 90 minutes now, I don’t have 24/7 to play lol.
Bluetooth speaker outside on max volume. The bg pop sound runs off Dialog setting so turn everything else down and have dialog maxed 
But would a pager solve that? No time to play, whether next to your computer or down the block running running a quick errand, getting ready for work. for a 90+ min wait, or not, is still no time play. yes ? What will the notification solve, when you’ve no time to play?
Wear wireless (bluetooth) headphones.
I know you can’t wrap your head around it but yes, this is very serious.
Although over the years I’ve learned to sometimes enjoy the long periods of farming in between queues.
The ability to safely multitask outside of game. How is this so difficult to understand?
You peasant. We here on the Alliance pay others to mow our lawns.
I can wrap my head around it. I just think you, and extension everyone who wants this, aren’t utilizing all your options. Instead, you all are demanding that a whole new system is created and installed into the game, a 15 year old version of the game at that.
I mean,if this is the hill you want to die on , go ahead.
I suggest turn up your volume, and don’t get to sidetracked with whatever you need to do while you wait.
Read a book, go for a wiki walk, whatever. Work on your time-priority management better.
I use to be Horde, I played TBC originally on a sever with about the same queue time. You all just sound lazy and whiny, entitled.
You really can’t have your cake and eat it too
I’ve played $10 pre-release games that easily implement things like this, but Blizzard can’t?
Doesn’t matter how long the queue is. Doesn’t matter how you’re notified.
The minute you go into the kitchen and start making something or the bathroom… DING!
The game KNOWS!
Blizzard currently developes retail difficulty around community made addons - that are made for free.
Tl;dr they probably can, but when the community are a bunch of chumps getting fleeced why would they?
Wouldn’t you just go afk after a few minutes and get auto logged out of the game anyway?
The hilarious part about queues that are so long you would want them on your phone notification is they also boot you from the game for being afk, which shouldn’t exist. I mean if someone wants to exclusively pvp in bgs and then proceed to do other things while waiting in queue, why does the game automatically kick while waiting in q. At least that’s the way it used to work. I haven’t been doing bgs recently though.
It’s like blizzard wants you to babysit your computer while waiting in queue. Instead of returning around the estimation of the queue timer you’re checking back even earlier to make sure the servers haven’t disconnected you for inactivity because of how long they have become.
Systems like this were a nightmare during ranking in vanilla because one mishap put you far behind for the day since time in q exceeded an hour to 1hr30min.
Dude, honestly, yes. Have you ever tried to be attentive to a queue for that long?
Make it so that we can check-in every few minutes on our phone as well so that we won’t get logged out and you have my vote
I think the auto log out feature probably should never even apply during queues. It’s a really stupid feature that has cost many players their sanity to return to their computer to check remaining time only to notice they’ve been logged off, and by the time they check back in they’ve been removed due to that feature.
You should only have to note your estimated queue time, not guess when the game might boot you because there’s no actual posted time on the screen for it.
