Honestly queues are fine if

  1. I can see my spot in queue (bonus points for estimated time remaining)
  2. AFK players are kicked

They’ve already done 2 and 1 would make me fine with waiting in queue. But as it is their queue is not even a queue, it’s a raffle. There’s no line, just a mob waiting to get in.

yeah the 10/30/45/45s delay is not actually a queue, in fact might actually be extra burden to the connection/login system where given enough player "waiting" they are triggering themselves with massive amount of login requests.

there are already PC utility the generate self invites without modify the game or inject.

I hope it works fine as last night was really smooth, however weekend is not guaranteed for sure.

I was talking to a friend about the same thing. The timer seems like a server timer, not the client polling. All those clients then are just retrying the login? No wonder their auth servers are slammed
