Blizzard took this forum post down yesterday but I will continue to repost this until it stops. I’m not here to say a word about the fact there is even a queue in a 15 year old game that we all pay monthly for, but the fact that even if you can grind your teeth for the 3 hours it takes to queue in, your “position in queue” means nothing at all. I have watched my number in queue go up multiple times… not the time left but my physical position in queue meaning either im being pushed back in queue for no reason or some people are able to skip queue. Just typing this I went from 3828 to 3826 the back to 3831…

Yes your queue is going down because people are getting logged out due to inactivity. However, they have a grace period and thus, they log back in and your queue goes back up.

So somebody sitting afk in shatt for so log they get kicked, so they can skip queues in 8 hours when they feel like playing has priority on a player sitting behind the desk ready to play now. Feels like if your kicked for being afk for to long you should go back to the line. I mean your afk anyway…
sucks, but yes.
Blizz happy to had out 30 day bans for people that afk 30seconds in AV while letting other people afk for 12 hours a day in shatt and create mass queues for the people wanting to play…

They don’t let people afk 12 hours a day in towns.
The game kicks you out after 1 hour without a “real” actions. They further roll random dcs to people that haven’t had an action in awhile to see if they hit reconnect in 5 min if not back into que. They also have the normal 15 min afk than into char screen 10 min than kicked. With no change to reconnect unless your going by the que.
If people are using scripts to bypass the afk detection which would be required to be afk 12 hours, it is reportable and blizzard in fact is vary harsh on those caught durring shadowlands launch some guildys of myn did that to bypass ques for a 3 month ban at launch which is not fun. They did not get it reduced from appeals.
Also people that are kicked for afk do go to the back of the line. Only those that are kicked from dc get to skip the line. This is the safeguard for dcs screwing you and it’s only a 5 min grace. These are the people that make your que go back up as the moment you dc the game lets someone else in but if you come back the game now needs to wait for 2 to log vs one before letting a new one in to keep the correct amount online as overcaped. This moves your place back. This is vary reasonable as I don’t think you want to get in after the que instantly dc than have to wait again do you.
