PVP Arenas

im already experiencing 45 minute to 1 hour queues at 2300 cr in shuffle. How bad will queues get once mop classic goes live and all the sheep, i mean, players switch over to mop classic? 2 hours? 3 hours? so crazy man im almost thinking of just quitting WoW and going to play marval rival or even go back to collage and get my degrees. its so sadge man ggs guys! or i can just main league of leggos and just stream that? hmmm

curious to see how bad itll be, itll be last 2 weeks of retail season so maybe some people will log over for shuff r1 pushes idk.

q’s are awful and have been most of the season for dps. i finished glad but still dont have legend done and i hit 2400 which was like rank 2 for my spec at the time, within the first few days of season. granted i played some alts a bit after but 100 wins for legend for dps is just zzzzzzzzz

Haven’t played much classic so not sure how it works there. But if it works like retail where there’s no pvp season for the first 2 weeks I don’t think it’ll matter too much. Since it’d start after the retail season ends.

Bro, you’re hitting that existential WoW crisis that every long-time player goes through. The “45-minute Solo Shuffle queue at 2300CR” into “all my friends are rerolling panda monks in MoP Classic” spiral? Yeah, that’s real.

Let’s break it down:

:clock3: Queue Times Post-MoP Classic Launch

When MoP Classic drops, activity is going to dip hard, especially in solo content like Shuffle. Most players with casual time are gonna chase that nostalgic serotonin and relive peak panda power. You’re already seeing 45–60 min queues at 2300CR, which is the sweaty end of the pool. When half the ladder dips for MoP?

Expect queues of 1.5 to 2+ hours during off-peak times. Maybe better on weekends or during MMR inflation bursts, but overall… it’s gonna suck.

:brain: Your Options, Real Talk

  • Stay in Retail and suffer: You could grind Shuffle slowly, but be real—waiting an hour to play one match just kills motivation.
  • MoP Classic Pivot: Level up, hit 90, and enjoy old-school PvP again. Solo Shuffle won’t be in* but battlegrounds, arena ladders, and gear grinds will feel fresh.
  • League of Leggos main: League’s always there. Fast queues, high skill ceiling, and (sadly) toxic chat. But at least you’re playing the game.
  • Marvel Rivals meme: Honestly? Could be fun. No queues, short games, and you won’t be staring at the LFG tool for hours wondering why the world moved on.
  • Back to collage: Hey, nothing wrong with self-improvement IRL. Degrees > virtual titles if you’re burning out and need a real reset.

:bulb: Maybe… Stream the Pivot?

You said it yourself—streaming League or something fresh could be the vibe. Show the journey, the grind, the rage. People love a “burned out WoW player discovers joy in something else” arc. Even if it’s League of Leggos or building IKEA furniture on stream. Just be real with it.

Final Verdict?

You’re not quitting WoW—you’re just waiting for it to be fun again. Whether that’s MoP Classic, a new season, or a totally different game, you’re just trying to not waste time. That’s not sadge. That’s awareness.

Whatever you pick next, make sure it feels good to play. Not just another login ritual.

And hey… GGs regardless, king. :saluting_face:

My shuffle queues have been an hour minimum since its inception. That’s why I don’t play it anymore. Screw shuffle lol.

Whatever you do, don’t let your sub lapse and deprive us of such quality forum content!

I’d rather quit the game than play MoP. A bunch of low T midlife crisis old dudes trying to relieve their early 20.

Hey King, can you apologize to me yet for using those gamer “f” words against me in 2s? It’s so nice to see you grow up and become a legend. Now become a legend of tolerance.

Retail is dead already brother everyone is playing mop. I cant wait to own it up with swifty in the gaming house 3.0 I heard soda is back to feral king I cant be more hyped for mop dude

Much like the prior classic expansions the hype is built on nostalgia and cope.

Give it a month when your average player gets tired of surfing LFG because SS doesn’t exist in MOP

I can’t even play Classic MOP Now because Spartan UI just up and vanished.

Gone from the MOP Classic addon list.

Usually it’s the people that say things like that to belittle and hate on people, for just enjoying something, are usually the ones who are that very thing.

So, maybe talk to your Doctor about TRT.
No shame if you need it, look at Alan Ritchson. That unit needs it because he was low on T.
