Over.
Never again.
Right?

What if nobody cares? Go whine about LRMs or something. People will never tire of crying for nerfs and that is why this game is beginning to suck so terribly. The devs seem to hear the nerf whine and "poof" a good piece of equipment or game mechanic becomes crap. Then the server population drops and they have to dream up some gimmick to get people to play.
Learn to play and quit trying to get the rules changed.
What are you on about? DV was just stating that much of what Mud here has seen in the past has been entirely due to chance. Are you sure you weren't directing that at the OP?

Before you hate me, be aware that the ones I've been in are with my 12yo and 9yo sons... They generally only like to play MWO when they can shoot at me.

I was fairly certain I had read that 2-4 person groups were being added back to solo queue. However, I'm unable to find it now. I doubt it was much more recent than that tweet either. So perhaps I only imagined it. In any case, that makes it really unlikely. I'm not going to sit down and do a combinatorics problem but I imagine the odds of putting together even a 4 man is unlikely.
Not sure if somebody has beaten me to it but that was a thing when 5-10 person groups came around, then PGI changed their mind about it not too much later so now solo is strictly solo.
You're right that 2-4 person groups in solo queue was a thing, but it didn't work out I guess, and putting all group sizes in the group queue apparently made the group queue less of a nightmare (before 3-3-3-3 came along anyways...) so it's just stuck that way ever since.
At the time I thought 2-4 person groups in the solo queue was cool because the matchmaker still limited only 1 group per team, but after thinking about it I really think it's better that the solo queue is strictly solo now.

There are no groups in solo queue of any size ever. So you could try to sync drop as individuals I suppose but as to groups they all go in the group queue no exceptions ever.
And how do we teahc complete newbies the game when they get popped in 10 seconds in the group queue? at least 2 man groups should be able to choose if they wana group or solo drop.

Fair is fair. Propaganda to counter propaganda. All weekend I didn't see groups in PUGs and I was watching Tags.
=Russ.
Feels good finally saying that!

I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing. I remember them putting all groups in the group queue and the solo queue was all solo players. At some point I could have sworn I read that they were reintroducing 2-4 mans to the solo queue. Does that fit the timeline you're describing?
The point is moot, really. We know for sure that currently the solo queue is what its name implies. The only question now is "Is Rouken crazy?" To which I reply: Stop telling me to burn things.
