Hi there.
Let me explain what I come across.To start with why this was not changed after MoP ended. but lets go so once someone New to the game or a player wanting to do the quest chain onIsle of Thunder again just to get the Hub unlocked etc.Well I tried to do just that but Hit a wall after land on the boat handing in the initial quest then up accepting the next one I was put into a scenario queue which I completely forgot about (I assume quite alot have) and this is where the Wall is. Without 2 more people with you either to help or to join you on unlocking the place also you are in a predicament.
Blizzard Change this to how MoP and other Legacy scenario content works you just get Queued up solo and are able to proceed as you please.
The only scenario I’m familiar with to unlock the Isle of Thunder portal is a solo one. You queue up and it typically pops within a few seconds. I’ve unlocked it on alts recently with no problem solo.
I don’t know what is up then After I did the initial one to unlock the permanent portal there the next quest in the chain queues me for that scenario i mentioned yet after waiting 15 minutes was quite obvious you needed a group.I could be just wrong or unlucky But that is why I posted.
I did run into a problem on one character where the queue time wasn’t instant and I think I ended up relogging to solve the issue. But other than that every other alt I’ve taken through the scenario process had a fairly instant queue.
I would try it again on that character and find out for certain.
Hmm next time im on that toon ill do that cheers.
