[SOLO Mode Dungeons] Queues taking too long or possibly broken again

DPS has always had a long wait, leading to fake-tank fake-healer cheaters.
Now I'm seeing in guild chats that even Healers in the queue are taking a long time.
We're overdue for a SOLO mode for dungeons to move things along. Instead of sitting 30 minutes in a queue someone could already have finished a Normal Dungeon that had solo mode.
Leave Veteran dungeons alone for people who want their helms or insist on grouping and sitting in group finder forever or getting stuck with fake tanks wanting monster helms or two Undaunted Keys.
For most (not all) dungeons, only two things need to be done:
- Solo Mode buff for players - Take 1/3rd damage, do 3x damage, immune to CC
- Make a hole in terrain where some multi-person puzzle needs to open a door.
Some stuff like Falkreath and whatever would need more work but that could be done later.

✭✭✭✭✭If I took 1/3rd damage and did 3x the damage, not only would I always solo, but bringing even a better than average set of puglets would make the dungeon sigfinicantly harder. They would hardly ever bring enough damage to cover the increase in difficulty provided by removing the solo buffs.
As a player gets better, a 3x multiplier to their damage also increases and would mean fewer solid players in the queue, making the problem even worse. The kind of players that need those groups in the queue would run into even more issues as 2k dps multiplied by 3 is still not enough to keep from getting stomped. 50k x3 would be enough to speed run and annihilate anything.Edited by redspecter23 on March 15, 2020 5:04PM2 -

✭✭✭✭✭Keep in the back of your mind, @Dusk_Coven, that the queue will always be slow for specific dungeons that aren’t the day’s daily pledge.

✭✭✭✭✭If those solo-mode dungeons were a pledge though, how would they be rewarded in terms of keys/crystals? Since they would be easier than even normal ones.
