Add ability to play with AI and groupmates when waiting in queue for dungeons/battlegrounds/whatever

If people were allowed to play with AI and/or with people in their group then a lot more people would be playing ToT. Mind you I understand that one shouldn't be allowed to play with random players or in ToT queue for obvious reason that the people in dungeon/bg queue could discard the ToT match when they find a group but the game between ai or 2 groupmates waiting in same queue could be saved for sometime and either continued later or discarded with nobody wasting their time.

I wouldn't even mind playing TOT against a computer as my TOT que waits for an opponent.

Yes. I agree completely. The AI doesn't get frustrated if a match ends early.

Isn't it the case that ToT is handled in some way that removes you from your instance, and places you in a totally separate instant to play ToT? That's why your character vanishes from the "real world" when you start playing ToT.

So I don't think it's possible to retain a group or dungeon queue spot while.in the card game, simply due to the way the minigame is handled.

your character does not vanish from the world when playing ToT, your character just stands in the spot where your ToT game started and thats what other players will see

i dont know if you would get a queue prompt while in the middle of the game, i havent tried that yet, since you dont use the queue to play an NPC, you just go and interact with them
