ok, so heres the solution to the queing problem
alot of the time playing, you run around solo, doing story quests and the aspect of this being a mmo just slows you experience of the game down, its kinda what it would be like to play kotor 1 with x thousand other people at the same time and theres bo benefit from the mmo-title
the obvious exception is playing with other people in a party/raid, AH and pvp, but for that part you could take you character online or localy and play the solopart solo and offline, because whats the point?
