Sendryn, it’s great that you’ve had success with this method and found it manageable. But your experience doesn’t necessarily reflect the broader player experience.
Not everyone has the time, patience, or inclination to take on the role of group organizer, and not all groups will have someone readily available to guide mechanics or handle leadership. What’s a smooth process for one player can be a frustrating barrier for another.
Sure, you might have navigated it just fine in Legion, but the challenge for many isn’t just about starting a group—it’s about dealing with the unpredictability of who joins, the difficulty of coordinating people with varying levels of commitment and skill, and the frustration of managing those who may not be as invested in the success of the raid.
The idea behind a queue system isn’t to suggest that organizing is inherently difficult; it’s about recognizing that for some players, it’s a significant hassle and barrier to entry. Offering a more streamlined option can help address those frustrations without removing the challenge from the content itself.
So while you’ve made it work, let’s not ignore the fact that many players would benefit from a bit less hassle and a bit more accessibility. It’s not about replacing what you’ve done—it’s about offering an alternative that could fit a wider range of player situations.
