They were never out of favor.

Unless you’re queuing as a healer or tank you’re competing with dozens of higher geared dps who are farming lower M+/m0 for crests. If someone has a choice between multiple 500+ilvl and sub 500 ilvls the party leader is going to pick the toon that statistically offers the best chance at success. Sadly that’s not us who are sitting below a 500 ilvl.
When it’s mythic week and you are a dps, you are literally a grain of sand on a beach.
So yes, the best solution is to make your own group. Or sit in queue when there are countless other dps with better gear, score, etc that will probably get the spot.
Start a group and invite people around the same item level as you.
Boom, group made and you helped 4 others in a similar position.
