Simple suggestion for reducing queue times

If there is a long wait for healers, then upon winning a round of Solo Shuffle give the healer a “queue fragment”. 6 queue fragments can be combined into a “DPS queue token”. The DPS queue token is tradeable and upon usage bumps you to the front of the queue line for Solo Shuffle.

Healers are incentivized to queue and WIN their games. DPS can buy these tokens to reduce their queue times.

Implement a similar token for each pvp game mode with solo queue (Blitz, RandomBG). The tokens are not interchangeable between game modes i.e. cannot use the queue token from Random BGs on SS.

One exploit to this could be that high rated players make smurf accounts to farm these tokens and then spend them on their high rated DPS alts and given the low participation at those levels it might become a de-facto requirement for playing a DPS at a high rating. Perhaps adding in a rating range to the token might be a good idea as well.

Yeah this is good idea. I would totally heal if it meant I could learn dps without a wait time.

Just allow healers to q as a dps and a healer in 2 seperate qs at same time. They could play fast healer games while waiting for their dps q to pop. Incentivizing them to heal while they wait out a long q. Make them have a seperate rating as a dps and healer. So it wont hurt their rating on main spec. Only allow pure dps spec classes to q as thier main spec still to keep dps numbers lower than healer numbers still

While this idea is good. It seems that buying or selling priority tokens will kinda compete with wow token and may affect profits from in game shop.

Account wide buff for x minutes might be good.
