As I played on the PTS, I kept thinking it would get better with each update. It didn’t happen. ZOS has done no better pairing two people with no roles to factor in than they have with dungeon groups of four or battlegrounds of twelve. How is this possible? At least with dungeons and battlegrounds screwed up groups, you don’t get a ten minute penalty.
I don’t know what magic ZOS has up their sleeve, but Tales of Tribute is going to get savaged by the players if this goes live like this. Players are going to be frustrated enough by the complexity and the beatings they are going to have to take to “git gud”. They will lose interest very quickly if they are put in time out for no reason they can prevent.
