about big groups kicking out people who are already waiting out of line?

I dont like waiting a few minutes just to get pushed back in line.

I don't think that system is going to change. However, there are player driven solutions like playing for units that can field 12 mans more often. Sorry to sound sarcastic but joining a unit or playing in one of the faction hubs and forming 12-mans is the best fix right now.

I think that there might be misunderstanding of how the mechanic works. If you don't have a 12 man ready, say you only have 8 guys and you are waiting for pilots, and there is a 12 man queues up they get the fight. I mean it wouldn't make sense to make the opposing team wait for your squad to get 4 more guys.

You can always... I don't know. Use the LFG system PGI already implimented and get the addition pilots yourself. It won't make sense for the system to wait for you to get additional pilots if there is already a 12 man formed ready to go.

I am in a unit.

The best solution is to use LFG and faction chat to organize groups so that you either stay full or require less solo action to secure your place in the rotation.

Actually the system has a first come first serve policy for smaller groups. Let us say there are 3 solo players and a group of 6 in the queue. Now another group of 9 arrives. The match maker could easily put the 3 solo players together with the group of 9, instead it waits for another 3 players in any combination. But why should a group of 12 wait under this policy?

Yes, join a group /12 man either LFG/faction comms or unit and youll never lose your spot

Or they could figure out how to make CW more engaging and fun for more people so "wait" became a rarity.

The wait times have been ridiculous lately. Have time to cook dinner until the match starts!

We often only have 7 to 9 players wanting to CW drop any a given time. So we check LFG (which is usually empty but was a good idea) we spam our friend list and check or move the group over to the faction hub. Heck sometimes we even pull guys out of ARK and Space Engineers to 12 up.

Best thing to do is stop playing cw so they will focus on it other than another gui change.
