Another suggestion regarding long queue times in low population regions

ccf

Another proposal, having thought about the issue more deeply.

1) User selects preferred zone+gamemode like now.
2) User can optionally toggle Quickmatch

Quickmatch means:  If there are not enough players for your preferred zone/gamemode you will get matched into any other one (not of your choice).

This way the 
- matchmaking service can take the preferred zone as a "vote", i. e. you still match the majority according to their preference.
- Players who want only one mode/zone are not impacted by this
- It should be fairly easy to implement (UI only one new toggle, algorithm relatively straightforward)

Guys, please consider this option and discuss.  You need something like this to prevent losing players at the bottom of critical mass here.  I understand it makes no sense to build a big feature around this, as it will be obsolete when you have more players.  Thats why I thought about a lean solution.  

I considered forced rotations, prequeuing, fixed timetables - understandably all not good as they conflict with players preferences and risk losing even more.  This proposal however does not impact any existing preferences.  Its purely additive.

In SA the situation is dire:  I talked to players from SA, its a topic now after infil.  Especially on A servers, often at least one teammate is from SA.

We tried queuing together with Connection Speed opt turned on, one guy lost patience after 10m on a friday night. 

Only downside of the proposal is that a loadout may not match quickmatchdd zone.  This could be mitigated by allowing players to create a bigger loadout, and force them to discard excessive items back to vault after infil, before they can move.  However even without this feature, I would def. take that little disadvantage or just plan for it when creating a loadout for quickmatch and be happy to JUST GET A (low latency) GAME.
