"You're Doing That Too Fast."

This error message when queueing for multiple instances is endlessly annoying and infuriating. I play multiple alts and use LFR to catch them up. I can queue for all the wings of an LFR at the same time, so just let me queue for all of them at the same time; no throttling necessary.

As far as I can tell, this was a message that players used to only get when using AH addons to prevent bot spam. What bots are abusing the LFR queue system and for what purpose to make this necessary for them?

The part that led me to make a forum post about this is the fact that oftentimes even after I wait several seconds, it still gives me the message. It seems if I don’t wait the arbitrary (and unknown) amount of time, it resets the timer for how long I have to wait to click the third (and subsequent, if necessary) ‘Join Queue’ button.

I know this is not the biggest problem facing WoW and the self-righteous will probably respond with ‘lol wow has bigger problems’, but this is one of those little things that add up - and it should be a quick problem to fix. Especially now, with the issues of instance lag and server-side d/c’s as commonplace as they are, getting back into the game and back in queue after a bad d/c shouldn’t be frustrating as well.

Cheers!

P.S. - If we had a way to select multiple LFR wings to queue into at once like we do with dungeons, this wouldn’t be an issue as all the queues would be entered at once. I think this is the optimal solution. Less clicking for the players; less stress for the servers.

You should be proud, you’re playing so fast and efficiently Blizzard thinks you’re a bot.

I do have efficiency down to a science at this point!

I mainly hate how they made it so you cannot queue for multiple LFR’s at once if they are old LFR’s.

You have to queue for one and wait for it to pop up in order to queue for another wing. Let me queue multiple of them at once Blizzard. You used to be able to, why did you change it!

I think that’s because the old ones are solo queues, so they pop right away. I know DS LFR is like that. It’s similar to Delves in that regard: if you go in solo, you don’t have to wait for the queue to be accepted at all.

I dont know…but my suggestion is dont do anything to continually trigger warnings or you just know the system is gonna flag your account for review or something.

I like to do things fast myself, but I sure aint gonna do anything that causes them to think im botting and lose 7 years of work.

I got that message repeatedly across my screen the other night while strafing around the celebration area between TWs lol

I was getting this without add ons.

I get this message a lot starting this afternoon using the flight path. No add-ons at all.

Edit: By which I mean, every time I enter a new territory/area and get that message, it’s followed by the “You’re doing that too fast” spam.

This started happening to me today, only on this alt, every time she hearths or uses the garrison toy. As soon as the screen loads, this message appears at the top.

I was standing on a zeppelin the last time this popped up for me.
Like I have any control on how fast that airship is moving. :rofl:

My only response to this error that I get a lot is “No, I’m not. Stop it.” Why can’t I queue up for 3 wings of LFR in quick succession?

It just now happened again when I zoned back into my garrison from questing. I had 3 add ons, Healbot, DBM, and decursive, all of which I went ahead and disabled. Still got the message.

You typed out a post this long for a non issue. Wait 3 seconds before clicking the next one. You will survive. Just count 1…2…3 click the next one.

i have been getting that message putting things in the ah as well.

FTFY

Yea that op is a jackarse. This happens ALL THE TIME to me and has been happening for a few expansions now. This is the first post I have seen about it. Its so dumb, I can queue for the first two wings in rapid succession, but its only the 3rd that throws the error, then even after waiting a moment it still gives the error again.

Somehow AH bots can post and repost immediately over and over but someone actually playing the game basically gets a debuff for working faster than a computer. What a joke.

First, it was happening just phasing from one zone to another, which is not a ‘wait 10 seconds’ thing, that’s just silly. Second, shortly after several people reported this, the problem went away.

Got super annoying in MoP Remix since I’d spam LFR / Normal / Heroic daily - and like queuing for several wings of multiple LFRs I’d get that message endlessly lol - it was annoying.
