Can't solo/duo 3-man dungeons in private queue? :(

Please tell me this is something that will get fixed.
I was looking forward to running in smaller party sizes for AD runs.

I see "group requirements will be ignored" in private queue, but then I see "group size does not match requirement for the Queue."
So uh...which one is it? Ignore requirements or have to obey requirements?

Is this busted or the way it's going to stay?
If this is work as intended, I don't see a reason to use the private queue when you can premade it in the normal queue like usual.

    Private queue ignores role restrictions enforced by the public queue, and won't give you random replacements if someone drops.

    They've acknowledged that we want to be able to privately queue smaller parties, but not said if they'll implement.

    I think to do what you want to do you'll need a private queue with a full party, then people will have to just leave the dungeon of their own will once you all have entered. If they're guild mates or friends that shouldn't be a problem if you've worked it out beforehand of course.

    You could already ignore role restrictions with a premade using the old queue system.
    The only difference is "won't give you random replacements if someone drops." That's so not useful.
    So really nothing was gained.

    What a let-down.

    Which is the same as before... :(

    People helping you queue in can leave instead of disconnecting, without the game trying to fill the empty spots, which you did have to go to some lengths to avoid before. So it is slightly different.

    The new system does have gains for people not looking for smaller groups, so while I agree this is a shortcoming, there are improvements (as well as bugs).
