I know about the post explaining login queue and why they are so long sometimes, but i have a serious question that was not answered.

why does the queue say over 9000 people in line, and drop at rates anywhere from 0 to 15 people per second, but once it reaches the very low numbers(usually around 100 or less for me) it stops dropping relativity suddenly, and then goes down usually at a rate of 1 per minute(with some random increases) if there are really 9000 people infront of me when i start, and it drops so rapidly up until a very low number, why would it take so long at the very low numbers. why is the rate at say 400-500 people about 10 per second, but at 100 it drops off to next to nothing on average. are more than 10 people who have been waiting for 30+ minutes in positions 100-400 really leaving per second, and why does it just kind of stop at a random specific point and then not continue at the rate it was before, or even at a greatly reduced rate. when im in position 1-10, the rate is consistent with the explanation given, but why is it so fast at positions around 100-500. that doesent make sense.

i would like to know. the rates are incredibly sporadic at best at the lower amounts, and the sudden jump from a decent rate to no rate at all is unrealistic, and im talking about the real world here so something is up, something i don't know.

I understand that to get in, someone has to get out. But I can't explain what the queue is doing or why, because it's not the right "fit" or "size" for the PBE.

I agree, there are major issues and frustrations with the way the login/queue is designed and implemented on PBE. And it's been either a queue or down all day. Or I log in, play a game and get booted.
