I understand and apologise for any rudeness; what I was saying is that it makes people
sound unpleasant (entitled) to take such a stance without offering any suggestions, not that anyone who thinks it's a problem is unpleasant.

- Players sit around for longer, which is boring
This sort of thing is fine in a bet server for example, since players at least have something to do. But in other servers, like public ABD or a tournament, it's a grand waste of time and I often see people leave for (I assume) that reason alone.
My suggestion would be that there needs to be some sort of option to run multiple games at once (probably more viable in TB Next, but still). In doing so, 4 players could play at once, which is a win-win for everyone.
Thoughts?
I don't know about its feasibility in TBN or current TB, but I think if there are multiple games at once that would ultimately split staff's attention, making their job harder. Either there are two queues, or one queue, two matches at a time, but if anything off happens in the matches (op rt pls), it's more likely the staff would miss it.

That, and sitting in a room with 3 other players sort of sacrifices the community vibe of sitting in a 20+ room.
wanting to have faster queues and 20+ seems like a "can't have your cake and eat it too" situation.
