Clearly groups need to select group to group. Solo players can do both so are more likely to accidently go with the default.

The Solo Random queue seems to be primarily for those who either don't know what they want (and are therefore likely new) or don't have too much preference (they just want to play BGs, regardless of what that BG is). In this regard, there would be some sense in making the Solo Random the default and the other options for those who have more specific desires in BGs (DM and/or Group) opt-in to those modes._adhyffbjjjf12 wrote: »[snip]

Even if it's just for a patch, it might be worth the try. If it doesn't' work out, then try a different order.
