So its since Dread Ring Patch that I can't get into Gauntlgrym PvP, queue never pops up.

Do you guys know why? Can we expect a fix?

    I think that it's down to not many people on the Luskan side so loads of people queue for Delzoun and only enough for 1 or 2 matches queue from Luskan side , that's my guess anyways , If I queue as soon as the first phase is over I seem to have better luck getting in than if I wait a few minutes before queueing. Really they need to even the 2 GG sides out so the number of guilds/active players on each side is more even .

    Delzoun has a lot of people queueing, Luskan is unpopulated and doesn't. If you are on delzoun and don't queue in the first second it pops up before the video you will not get in.

    Not sure how it could be fixed.

    Kind of obvious how it could be fixed: More people need to join the Luskan side. Maybe an incentive?

    Incentives are hard though, make the incentive too good and delzoun will depopulate, don't make it too good and nothing will happen because no one enjoy's losing every pvp match.

    What the fine people above me said: Queue as soon as the PVE portion of Gauntlgrym is over. When it has 30 sec left on the countdown, hit K to bring up the queue page and just wait till it refreshes with the GG PVP queue.

    This is something that really needs to be addressed in GG and I am not really sure what the fix could be other than somehow getting some people to move from Delzoun side and stop letting people move to the Delzoun side. It is so one-sided that it is ridiculous. As a Luskan I have only had access to the DKC on 2 occassions out of the many times I have participated in GG. It is very disheartening and makes many not even want to participate anymore. They end up only doing enough to get dailies credit.

    I could pay for our guild to move over to the Delzoun side but that does not feel right.

    If you moved, you would have far less chance getting to do PvP at all...

    PvP in GG has become a self fulfilling prophecy. That's the reason that the PvP que isn't popping very often.

    1) In the beginning, more people learned towards the dwarves over the Luskans. For story reasons, this might be due to the portrayal of the Luskans as the "bad guy" faction of GG.

    2) People want to get into the Dwarf King dungeon, which can only be accessed by the faction that wins GG.

    3) Due to some population imbalances, the Delzoun faction starts to seriously win. This causes people to jump ship from Luskan faction guilds.

    4) With the rush of extra people, Delzoun wins even more consistently. Due to Delzoun's reputation as winners, the anti-Luskan trend gets accelerated.

    5) Now we're at current state of things. Luskan guilds are rare and will tend to lose GG about 80-90% of the time. As a result, the only Luskan players who will attend GG consistently are those who are satisfied with coin farming. This lack of Luskan players means that only x1 PvP match of 20vs20 will pop on a regular basis. Sometimes you'll see a 2nd or 3rd que pop, but that's a rare exception to the rule.

    6) With the Dread Ring out, the remaining Luskan players now kill less time in GG as they farm the DR campaign. This results in even fewer Luskan PvP players, which causes the Delzoun side of the PvP que to only take an average of x1 group of x20 players.

    I understand that the price to move factions is in place to prevent faction jumping, but at this point it is simply another barrier for Luskan.

    This has been discussed before and there were a lot of good suggestions, but nothing has changed since.

    Is there a good primer on Gauntletgrymm for new players anywhere? Like if I sign my 1-player guild up as luskan and assume I will lose everything but will always get a match to pop. What am I missing out on and what parts can I participate in?

    By contrast, if I sign up delzoun and assume that the queue never pops and I literally, NEVER, get into a match, what can I do (PVE wise) and what can't I do?
