Queue for Non-Trials

A Queue funtionality for other things in the game besides Trials... Has this been suggested? I searched but no thread titles are obvious and I'm not digging thru all the subject matter.

Basically, the idea you could join a queue for a particular TF/SF, Hami or Mothership, or maybe even just a regular PuG, with a checkbox option similiar to the trials.

Then, someone could start a TF or mish team, but in an alternate 'Open for queue' way. Say, I wanted to run an ITF - I could start it, but with an option to flag as open for queued folks. Then, players that were queued for ITF would essentially start auto-joining my team. Once I had the minimum, I could start the TF for real.

PuGs just to run missions: I set a flag as leader of a queue PuG, then players that were queued for, say, *Any Mission*, would start auto-joining. I could lock it at any point and start the missions.

Is this anything that would be worthwhile? Have dev time spent on?

I'm not really sure, but I do know I pretty much *hate* getting teams together myself: the searching, sending tells, etc., that and I don't like the 'pressure' to get certain ATs. The rare times I do start teams, for whatever reason, it's first come, first server, not matter what we're doing. We'll succeed or fail with what we've got. Sometimes, the randomness is part of the fun. Some don't like this randomness (and have let me know in so many words). Others seem to like it a lot. In any case, with queue teams, you know what you're signing up for, so no griping.

Overall, it does seem with a queue system like this that maybe lots of other players (like me) would be much more willing to start teams.

Maybe it's a non-issue - there are enough players out there, it seems, that relish (or at least don't mind) starting teams/leagues. But I've seen enought tells in broadcast to know that sometimes people don't find teams very quickly. Maybe queued teaming would help.

I swear I saw this addressed somewhere, I want to say it was mentioned in the live webcam i20 promo session with the dev's. Pretty sure someone posted a link to that in the designated thread.. Definitely try to take a look.

This.

I log in, see the new LFG interface, click on it and see two choices, both of which sound dull. I choose the first available and get told that nobody is running either.
