Another Queue complaint

Holy shit ive had the game for 2 days and entered 1 raid. Why is the playerbase so small, such a shame, the game is so fucking good and I probably wouldve refunded it by now it I didnt spend more than a day re-organising my hideout waiting to join a game. I have dont like 5 raids in offline trianing mode but eventually got sick of the fact that I dont get loot from it. Why does it actually take so long, surely there are other people trying to join too. Im EU btw
