Getting from login to playing a game is too damn slow by far.

Inordinate waiting to actually get into a game.  Worst of any game I currently own.

Is it me or is it much much more difficult to actually get a game in BF1?.  I spend a lot of time looking for servers with a free slot and no long queue.  Even when my criteria for search is pretty wide.

I typically look for the following.  (thhough given a choice I avoid the battlefront style maps in favour of something I prefer but mainly I have no choice).

64 players

Up to 10 free slots.

All modes except war pidgeon.

This is not my favourite BF game by a long way but I still sometimes get the urge to have another go but this is a barrier to playing at all.  What I like to see is the minimum time between getting into the game and playing.  This is the longest for me of any BF game.  I dont much like the design of the new interface but its not particularly a barrier, but this issue with finding a server is.  I dont use quickmatch as it gives me servers with bad ping or aimbot users (hence people are leaving and being replaced with no suckers by the quick match).

I am sure about 100 people will now respond with fanboy enthusiasm telling me they dont care or they dont have the problem.  This is just my personal experience.  I dont know how many others do or dont have it.  What I do know, is that it often prevents me playing entirely.  I dont play BF1 much at all, particularly in comparison to previous games.  I expect to at least have the often on the occassions I do feel like giving it a try.

I also dislike the often long downtime between matches when one does find a server.  It would be good to see this fixed.
