The reason min and gals have to wait 2-10 mins for matches is because of the sheer population difference, which is caused by the Hollywood effect, the Caldari and the Amarr are not what flies by in Hollywood and CCP is a victim of its own storytelling, CCP literally use the words evil and misery when describing the Amarr and the Caldari respectively.
If you talk to your average person about the Caldari its, fascist and corporations, despite the fact that they are one of the second most decentralized faction in the game and all of the 4 factions are corp based and zero info given in any intros about them being separatists. The Amarr have the slave thing, oh yeah and they're religious!!!  Despite the fact they are literally antiquity of Rome operating in New Eden, which absorbed defeated populations into their own people.
Of course when you go into the other intros its literally has none of there negatives, just there positives. So the Hollywood effect takes place in where people throw in there support, especially when this games target audience is 16-24, which the Hollywood effect is strongest.
In the matches 13 matches we played we won 11 of them because we squaded up so any major corp worth its weight would be able to fight for anybody and win. We went up against squads consisting of Ancient Exiles, Dem Durty Boyz, Synergy, Ghost Assimilation, Southern Legion, etc. Sometimes we actually fought against two stacked corp squads (ghost assimilation + other stacked corps) Yet there weren't any stacked corps fighting for the caldari, for the entire night.
We looked like a bunch of unaffiliated randoms, but obviously we were running a squad to get those victories, I"m sure many of them were scratching their heads wondering why they were losing to what seemed like a bunch of randoms that or getting extremely mad at their blues. Dem Durty Boyz gave us a run for our money and almost took us down while Southern Legion kicked our asses. I think the two times we fought AE, they kicked our asses in one of the matches and gave us that other loss.
But the point of the matter is that many of the major corps are on one side, and it is they who determine what is easy or hard mode. So the question is why are they are on one side, and I think it has a little bit to do with the lore initially, followed by not wanting for fight other major corps for easy wins.

All the major corps are on one side, we even fought people whose corps are suppose to be caldari, you rarely see major corps wasting resources fighting each other in FW. I find it a little harsh to believe that the little people are suppose to fight thy largest and strongest corps in the game without getting broken. Couple that with Sgt. Kirks suicide squads that he is funding and things become even harder for the little guys over here.
The people I squad with are die hard Caldari loyalist or mercs who are very hungry for State RRs, so they throw everything into the fire, take orders, etc, but the sheer opposition is intense.
