So yeah, last night when trying to log on i was put in queue. There were "only" about 350 players ahead of me. Now, I didn't really mind waiting the other day and I got in rather fast. Now I'm trying to log in again and I'm put in a 30 minute queue. I am put in a 30 minute queue because of F2P'ers taking up the space, while i actually bought the game AND am playing with a subscription. Now, I understand you can't just kick f2p'ers to make room for subbers but seriously NCsoft you need to sort this shit somehow.
 
I understand your obvious idea of flooding the servers with f2p'ers in hopes of getting new, paying players, while managing your economy by not opening new servers. But understand that if you don't manage to keep it smooth for the already paying players still, you are going to lose that source of income that you already have. Personally I'm not going to pay for a subscription to queue for what may soon be close to an hour before getting online, only because I'm locked out due to people online playing for free.

			I am pretty sure subscribers were getting advanced accessed, ahead of people like me (F2P). At least that's what the screen was telling me. Now granted, they aren't kicking any f2p in favor of queued subscribers, but still. I feel for ya. I think I would be upset also. If its any consolation, upon seeing the queue length, I left. Also, queue lengths dont last long. It will return to normal soon.

As a subscriber, you get priority queue. So, it's not the F2P players that are keeping you in queue, it's your fellow subscribers. You don't get a free pass on the queue just because you subscribe. You only get moved to the front of the line with the other subscribers. The servers are flooded with everyone who wants to try something new and other people who are returning. It's going to take some time for the population to even out while people decide if they want to stick around and, unfortunately, queues are a part of that.

I'll address this as Sera from Dragon Age Inquisition would....You big people...up there...chawing your cawds...blah...blah..blah...well you need little people....us down here.  (paraphrased of course)
 
Wildstar needs the F2P players so stop moaning about queues and F2P players being on the servers.
