Group finder is indeed a significant convenience, but it's not (wasn't in past) absolutely essential. If we have to, we can self-organize and "walk-in" similarly to dungeon and trials.

Gaming communities in games like Apex Legends, Fortnite, etc have asked for solo only queueing too, but not one other game has implemented it, despite the obvious advantages it has for the majority of the player base.
Great job for once ZOS and this will bring me back to ESO, although I will most likely leave immediately do to the baddie tank meta.
If you are in a stacked premade, go to Cyrodil and challenge yourself for once, BGs are supposed to be ESOs small scale PvP. I can't wait to play ESO tbh, something I havent said in years.

Similar issue like Alcast, I feel you are pushing your personal agenda a lot more than being focused on the overall well-being of the BG communities. You stated several times on your stream that the social factor of streaming - to share YOUR gameplay experience with somewhat like-minded individuals, to talk to them, etc. - is one of the main factors motivating you to still play. The average non-streaming (BG-) player gets all of that interaction via grouping and chatting with friends, making builds together, testing them in team envrionment and so on, all of that via ingame tools.
You are not losing much when the "experiment" will go live. Most of us bg-enthusiasts lose our entire, naturally grown ecosystem. We are losing the social aspect that motivated us to keep playing.
It certainly is not, and for someone who has said before that they like soloing vs premades because it's more of a personal challenge, I find it interesting that you should say this. 4v4v4s structurally is a better gamemode for solo queue since the three team system doesn't integrate well into group vs group gameplay, but until zos actually adds something logical like 6v6s, taking away grouping is only a net negative change. Aside from true premades and guilds being unable to play, all the duo queuers and casuals wanting to queue with their buddies are also hurt by this change, and for many of those players being able to play together is more important than playing BGs.PhoenixGrey wrote: »This is probably the best BG change ever since its inception.

Solo-queing BG is among the best things this game offers, 4 random people just gonna have to make it work together. Sometime you win, sometimes you lose but the fun is there in every match. No one, even the pug-stomper teams, can enjoy themselves when they face groups with 2 healbots and 2 tank-dmg builds that wear sets that buff each other in 3 out of 5 matches.. If anyone wanted that they could just run in the ballgroups you see in Cyro every now and then.
However, i understand the ones that feel robbed by Zos because of this change, and maybe there should be separate ques for both solo and group, but this premade-stomp thing has been an issue for quite a while and i feel this change will make BGs better than it has been for a long time.
Anyway, i would hate to see it go back to what it has been so i am 100% supporting this change!
