But why would I do that? I hate PVE on WoW. It’s boring, repetitive, and a rehash of the same mechanics and same garbage since Vanilla. Some people like me come here to gear up and play end game PVP, even if we’re not good at it. Apparently Blizz doesn’t care about those people though.
You’re missing a crucial piece here. There are MANY MANY people who are “hard stuck” at 1k not because they are bad, but because it is ABSOLUTE cancer to manually find players to queue for PVP. I’ve achieved duelist and had multiple rivals before, but I’m never, ever going to manually do 2s, 3s, or 10 man RBGs ever again. It’s awful. The wait times, the vetting, the people who quit after one loss, the entire experience. Solo queues are the best thing to come to WoW and people love them. End of story.
I pretty much expected it to do to solo shuffle exactly what solo shuffle did to 2’s & 3’s. Which was: massively ruin the other brackets by having players mass migrate to the new mode, and further kill any chance at players actually needing to make friends to get rating.
People will always take the path of least resistance and right now that is BG Blitz.
