If I am on Order, with a guaranteed City q pop, why would I switch to Destro alt with an iffy chance to get in? That is nonsensical.
The City issue boils down to:
1. More Destro players than Order players
2. Destro have easier time in close confines (City maps) while Order better in open areas (Keeps/Forts)
So this problem is not resolving itself anytime soon because the Devs have no interest in addressing them. But if Destro is so hellbent on getting free rewards for doing nothing, give them a Vanq crest; that is commensurate with the effort it takes to hit a queue button.
