I want my 3rd Battleground queue back!
Two is OK, it’s certainly better than one. But with the current BG wait times, I need a 3rd option.
Admittedly I am not normally a BG jumper and I dare say being limited to two queues which you may need to wait for an hour for one to pop might well encourage people to stick to a BG.
However inevitably I wait for an hour one to pop, only to have the other pop 30 seconds later. Maybe, just maybe, a 3rd queue would have filled my time.
Stealth BG Invites
While I am at it, I know 40 second response times are meant to speed up the BG process, but I could really use a little more time.
I’m human… I need food, drinks, bios, smokes. Sometimes I need to respond to requests from the real world.
At least once I have turned from my silent PC (sound off to protect the sleeping, or headphones off for due conversational respect) and the BG has popped and faded away while I have been distracted for 40 seconds.
Worse is I had no idea, the BG icon was still on the mini map, so I didn’t bother to mouse over to find out that I am now down to one long queue.
So please Blizzard, give me back my queue and give a Gnome a bio break!

PS: a thought on the LFG interface. Rather than a 3 option drop down list, give us the whole instance list as a check list. Let me indicate my desire to run every instance that interests me, rather than choosing 3 and having random tells asking if I want to do something completely different.
Of course, my favorite bugbear (apart from engineering mounts for Gnomes), add the holiday instances into the LFG interface… Please… Now!

BGs seem to inevitably pop just as I hearth to Dalaran, and by the time the loading screen leaves and the lag clears a bit, it’s too late to join.
