Let us queue different character than currently played

While waiting 40 minutes for single solo shuffle i was thinking it would be amazing if i could que my main while playing alt.

For example - i am exping my alt and while i am doing that i am queued for random bg, dungeon, i am browsing arena partners, i queue shuffle.

Do we have this kind of technology to make it happen Blizzard?

This would be amazing.

That if they are to lazy to fix the queues so they pop at every 5mins max.

Even if the que will be 5 minutes long, it would be amazing if i can hop back on doing quests on alt between matches.

Yeah, you got a good ideea there m8. I’ve missed to congrats you on first reply, so GZ, lets hope blizz will do ANYTHING

It seems so far you can already relog in a queue and not lose position. (Or maybe it just doesn’t tell you you do, dunno.)
Queuing a different character would make the system even more unreliable, because you pretty much have no time at all and immediately have to log out and to the other char to make it before the timeout.

You only keep the queue for a short time while logging off, this is to protect you from losing it in case of a crash or disconnect.

The game can distinguish wanted (logoff) and unwanted disconnect, though.
Maybe it is just the cleanup in case someone forgot? Because the group finder often has old 1-player groups because the player forgot to disband the queue, and eventually the system auto-terminates those queues. I had that happen the other day and it was actually because I forgot to cancel, so I didn’t mind.
It was 20 or 30 minutes. I don’t remember the exact time.

Such a system would be a horrific mess to manage. I doubt you will ever see such a system in the next 15 years of gameplay in WoW.

Buy another account and play on it while waiting, then you can play while queuing.

Instead of queueing a character, you’d be queueing your account with a specific character.

If they can’t do that, because it’s a horrific mess to manage and a logic nightmare basically, and not because of some technical issue, they are incompetent.

I don’t seem to see a difference between those.

Do you know of another MMO where you can queue with one character and play on another? I can’t think of one right now.
