Less waiting time in the lobby?

Because it's not really a feature, I am posting this here. As being quite a bad survival games player, I tend to die a lot. It can get really annoying to wait 2:30 minutes, so why not have the pre-game start in 30 seconds when the lobby is full? The donors can still enter full lobbies (so it's not an instant start), clans can still announce their line-up and everyone can still vote just like before.

The issue with that is with people leaving to go do something quickly. People may need to run downstairs and do a chore, or get some food. If the timer went to 30 seconds, you'd either have to go quickly or pray that the lobby wouldn't fill.

I think the only way to really shorten the time is to keep it consistent, no matter how many players are in. 1:30 is pretty much as long as I'd want my wait time, though, so I agree it's too long.

In those 2 minutes you have to wait you can always go take something to drink or eat, go to the bathroom, watching something on internet or talking with friends on TeamSpeak.

Of course, I would pick 2.5 minutes. 2.5 is better than 5, but 0.5 is even better.

what about for cbs, and what if you gotta use the bathroom, or your mom calls you???
Those are rare cases, and you can always do /hub. There are also times when players just get bored to wait that much.
