This is a good feature that’s been implemented to help with the que times. But I have an idea that might turn it into a great feature that will help even more with que times. How about you introduce a 30% VT rewards bonus alongside the 30% XP bonus just for that extra nudge for people to que up for these and for max ranks add the XP bonus onto the VT bonus for a 60% VT reward bonus to replace the XP bonus just to give max ranks an incentive to que up in low population queues.
Now I know a 60% VT rewards bonus is a pretty big bonus but that is to make up for the lack of an XP bonus and it seems big enough to give max ranks a reason to que up for low population queues.
