I fucking HATE it when you're waiting to get in to play a game. You have to deal with stupidly long queue wait times with 100 or so ass people all trying to get on the SAME fucking game at the EXACT same time. That's not even the worst part! You wait for like a fucking eternity to finally get into single digit numbers, and then ALL of a sudden, boom - your queue position bumps up from 9 back to 10. WHAT THE FUCK. I haven't even left the goddamn queue. My position in the line should be SAVED and not bumped up. I literally watched my queue number bump up from 7 to 8 in real time. You wait patiently to hopefully finally be the next person to get in the game, but then the fucking game just decides to move you backward in the queue instead of forward. THAT. IS. NOT. HOW. QUEUES. WORK. You are supposed to move forward in the line, like, any regular goddamn queuing system. Pushing someone backwards and bumping up their number back to a previous number is basically the fucking equivalent of cutting someone in line who has been waiting patiently. A 5-minute wait to get into a game turns into a 20-minute wait as you continue waiting for your number to hopefully go down to the point where you are finally the first in the goddamn line. Oh, wait. Boom, you're back to position 2. You were NEXT UP! Now you have to wait even longer to get in. I fucking hate this. I wouldn't have a problem with in-game queues if you consistently moved forward. But no, you are pushed back constantly and demanded to wait for an even longer period of time. I fucking hate queue lines that operate like this. It turns a simple 5-minute wait into a waste of time as you wait for NEARLY half an hour. Fuck that shit.
