Make it a queue system like heroics and lfr. Easy to implement. Players can only queue for keys they are eligible for based off their previous key.

I like the idea.
But I’m not here to defend it from the oncoming waves of contrarians who want nothing better to do than declare your idea terrible even though Elemental Rune dungeons exist in Cata Classic.

3 hour 24 minute queue times for dps because tanks/healers won’t touch it.
And most people won’t.

I’m glad you’re posting this, because I have been thinking about this very same thing. It’s like how Solo Shuffle killed the 3s bracket. Nobody wants to have the pain, time investment, or responsibility of forming the group. If it was automated there’d be no one to blame. There are still glaring issues like the 15s death timer and the depletion that need to be looked at, however it’s my opinion that your suggestion is the biggest, best step in the right direction. Allow me to explain…
If there was some kind of M+ mode that allowed you to queue into it, and offered rewards for high demand roles, it would increase engagement in my opinion. Obviously people would probably have to be vetted somehow to ensure they were geared enough for the content, (think min ilvl requirement, or the requirement of previously having completed the previous key level. Like you can’t just queue up for a +10 if you’ve never done a +9 or something) and completing the key outside of the queue system shouldn’t grant you credit toward this (to avoid boosting, and maintain the integrity of the game mode). Also a player based rating system, like you can’t leave group until you commend a player, or click a button to opt out, which this rating could be further used to supplement the IO rating. I’m sure there’s many ideas out there, and probably better versions of what I’m suggesting. But I do believe solo queue is the solution to the future of WoW and pretty much any multiplayer game if you want to appeal to a greater audience. Convenience is king in a world where people’s time is more and more limited.

It’ll be only bad players who get consistently passed on in the custom LFG. If that removes them from the custom LFG and puts them in 4 hour queue where they’re not in my groups…eh go for it.
No, not everything needs to be a queue. People need to take responsibility for who they invite, and their failures.
I like playing alone and might use a feature such as this from time to time to get my feet wet. Doesn’t mean someone in my position is a “bad” player.

If you’re “getting your feet wet” that’s implying M+ isn’t something that you do. And if that’s the case, starting out in it you will be bad at it.
That being said, if the queue was a “training grounds” sort of thing that would probably be helpful to new players. But again, the queue times are going to be horrendous.
Only if there’s a spectator mode for the rest of us.
And I don’t mean for the actual dungeons, since none will ever form. I mean turn on the microphones of the people who are queueing, so we can hear them complain about how nobody wants to play with them.
It will be hilarious.
(If you don’t want people to listen to you, don’t use it! Right? 
)

Correct. M+ would be new territory for me. I can only speak for myself, but I would have no qualms starting with M0 and working my way up regardless if I out geared or not. I’m not one to overestimate my abilities.

Yep agreed as long as people can choose to watch.
Like io eligible ?
I would never use a mythic plus queue system.
Pugging mythic plus is already challenging enough when I make my own group and personally vet every applicant.
Would never want to go into a mythic plus dungeon with truely random players.
Elemental rune dungeons are not in any way comparable to m+ lol
Its hard to take your idea seriously when you dont even do mplus to begin with

Waste of time. It’s hard enough finding a tank for easy queued content, you think you’re going to find one for hard content? Lolno.

That is just assumption, noone knows how many people would use it, WoW is a game played by very different people.

Elemental rune dungeons are approximately M+ -7
I know most tanks/healers wouldn’t.
