Currently when you try to join an alliance battle you get "no opposing party" with no indication of if its because there aren't enough Luxon teams and/or there aren't enough Kurzick teams.

What I would like to see is that when you try to join an AB but can't you get the message:
"Not enough players. There are x Kurzick teams and y Luxon teams waiting to join an Alliance Battle"

The numbers will be the number of teams on each side that have clicked the enter mission button.

Now, although I dont do Fort Aspenwood or Jade Quarry, it seems that a simmilar message could work there.

10 days with no reply at all. This seems a reasonable length of time before bumping it.

With this suggestion, if you were kurzick and got told that there were only 2 kurzick teams but 4 luxon ones, you would know to go tell the other kurzicks to form a team and join. But if you saw 8 Kurzick teams waiting, 2 Luxon you would know you would be in for a long wait.

/signed - There has been rumors that they only have limited servers for these things though. So who knows.

I'm guessing the rumor isn't true, but came about when someone was waiting for a match and a friend was waiting for a match for the other side. It could of quite easily of been at 5 teams out of the 6 waiting.

But there is a limited number of servers for it, then they could say that the servers are full and you are at position x in the queue.

But untill I see proof of limited server numbers, I'm going to assume that ANET hasn't added such a limit, as I can see no reason why such a limit is useful for anyone.

Such a limit is useful for ANet in terms of keep operating costs down. I do agree with the idea, however, so.../signed.
