So the past few late evenings I've noticed the group finder feels noticeably more sluggish once you get past the peak crowd, like the tool itself is choking rather than there just being fewer people around. Queue pops that were instant an hour earlier suddenly take much longer, and a couple times the whole panel just froze up for a bit before catching up.
I don't have hard numbers on this, just a gut feeling from watching my own queue times over a few nights on one server, so take it with a grain of salt.
Can someone on a different server, ideally at a different peak hour, check if their group finder does the same thing once the crowd thins out? If your queues stay smooth and consistent all evening on your end, that alone tells me my observation is probably just local weirdness rather than anything systemic, so I'd genuinely like to be proven wrong here.
Not trying to make a big claim, just curious if this is a pattern or if I've been staring at my screen too long after a long raid night.
