5.4 PTR, I believe. I do vaguely recall that you can queue for more
than one different thing now you mention it, I've just never used that
so forgot it existed (I only really do LFR or scenarios of the
queueable things and scenarios not very often)

Yep, the multiple LFR wings is the big thing for me - I would LOVE to
be able to on a Wednesday just tick boxes for all 4 wings and let it
give me whatever pops first. Sure, by the time I'm down to the last
wing the queue will be as slow as ever, but when I'm queued for 4 at
once, chances are good that one should pop quickly!

Perhaps they're adding to it, regarding getting people out in the
world - I know a lot of people are happy to go out and do other stuff
while they queue, but I'm not; I saolo far better in Disc and heal far
better in Holy meaning if I'm queued I don't want to go anyplace that
I'll have to fight stuff. And I don't like breaking off from something
without finishing it, so more often than not, I don't queue until I'm
done with whatever I'm doing, and get bored sitting round doing
nothing while in the queue lol - faster queues will help loads there!
