MoP was the age of Skype calls so individual’s IP addresses were out in the open from what I remember.

Oof. Imagine playing your fav game and then suddenly disconnecting cause some loser has a poor ethical sense.
Makes me glad I no longer have to queue 3s.
Tbh, I don’t think it’s RSS fault as much as 2s/3s & RBGS have accessibility issues via LFG or having nobody to q with.
Finding a way around so you could just q up would do wonders imo.

Shuffle didn’t kill Arena, Arena killed Arena.
If people actually enjoyed the content, they’d still do it. Turns out most people prefer not to deal with the social navigation of team making for competitive play. They prefer solo queue options.

LFGing rbgs was fun. 
The last thing you’d hear is “hey I played with these guys eari-”

dont worry it will only take them another 10 years to figure how to to make a solo/duo/trio q work for 2s/3s
just to be clear though I think it would be more thank ok to have solo shuffle and solo q normal 3s

True it did bring more players into pvp. Obviously the boring old LFG brackets for the last 17 years is doing a fine job attracting new players to pvp lol.

Google, what game won GoTY year and was Steam’s best selling for 2023?
We just gonna ignore Counterstrike and Half-Life and Halo, okay then (also CoD came out before WoW).
Yeah it’s a great filter, and if you do like who you play with you can message/friend them and do 2s/3s later if you want ^w^. It’s great
true, but i’d be interested to see the metrics of who bought the game.
Probably a venn diagram that’s more or less a circle with those who bought Elden Ring
i would imagine its mostly 30 year olds. the same crowd who plays or has played wow in the past.
You don’t have to be thirty to appreciate a good fantasy game.
Or Momma K.
no, but those games were basically created for that generation. i’m not saying that younger people don’t play those kind of games, i just don’t think theyre the target audience.
games that are based off dnd are largely targeted towards people who are around 30+
ER has an ungodly amount of 18-24 year olds in its multiplayer community
swords are still cool yo

Bloodhound’s Fang my beloved 
elden ring really isn’t a rpg game like wow or baldur’s gate or dnd. it’s more action based. even tho they share similarities, i wouldn’t consider them the same.
idk about putting wow in the same bag as dnd/bg3
idk why you’d make a statement completely oblivious to the massive knowledge gap (both character build and game mechanics) between “sweats” and most players. (hey sounds familiar)
just kind of a silly decision
They’re not the same, but you’re saying younger people only play fast paced shooters, and have no interest in difficult, slower paced rpgs, which is clearly not true based off ER’s success

Didn’t you have like 5k rounds played or something last season? Pot meet kettle.
