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.

Because you want rewards on that specific character? This isn't a complicated idea.

A lot of order are 40/80 and switching to destro alts in there destro guild and wb up to improve chances.. You are correct about switching to join solo but most of the xrealmers are organised.

You aren't really talking about Order mains - Destro alt there. Those are the Destro players who xrealm in order to push for IC when it has more stars - and we appreciate the help btw. It doesn't mean they deserve to get a free royal for when they get their swap timing wrong though. Especially now that SOV gap is now starting to finally shrink.
