How hard is it on average for players to get an Invasion match going?

Usually I can get something within 15 minutes, though sometimes it takes a few tries and waiting for a Call to Arms.

But tonight I haven't found anything, and there are zero calls to arms for Jade Falcon. I know there is a patch coming on Thursday that may help by merging the two queues, but I can't get anything either with Solo or Unit (after I created a one-man unit). This is prime time for American players who are playing after work, so I am a bit surprised that I can't find anything.

Tip:

Unless you want to incite matches on your time via faction chat or the CW forums...
Here's what you'll do to get a quick match.

Look at planet list.
Is the player count close to a unit of 12 (24, 36, 48, etc)?
If attacking, number on left. If defending number on right. If close to a unit of 12 but below it, you'll find yourself with a near instant match.

"Instant match!"
If you're looking at 1 player on the map or a number distant from a multiple of 12... you've got a long wait ahead of you.

Also it's 10:20 PM on a weekday; most of us work during the day and some have school. British are just getting out of bed, so you're bound to exclusively see Oceanic players at this hour.

Now on the weekend at this hour you'd see a lot of activity.
