Kudos to those smart enough to foresee the necessity of such a queue in a competitive environment ever since the introduction of matchmaking. I severely hope such a queue will ignore guild affiliations and friends lists.
Incoming: "But we wanna play with our pals......................"
premades, cry me a river, go ahead
cant wait to meet so many of them there))))
rise of pugs is here

Make vote kick chat box based... shift y is vote yes shift n is vote no.... no more pop ups!
- Matchmaking is not properly working cause nobody except PvP guilds and casuals doing a couple of dailies are doing PvP anymore. Give it a larger population and it will work. We've seen it working during NCL. I remember it well.
- Solo queue allows matchmaking to balance compositions too, avoiding things such as 1 team with DC + OP, and 1 team without healers/ protectors
- gear gap still there but let's see. Right now if you have 4k-4k-4k-4k-3k-3k-3k-3k-2k-2k iLvLs, but you've a premade, you easily and often end up with things like:
4k-4k-4k-4k-3k vs 3k-3k-3k-2k-2k or similar composition
With a pure solo queue, matchmaking would form like this:
4k-4k-3k-3k-2k vs 4k-4k-3k-3k-2k
Which one is more balanced?
No matter how you look at it, it's a huge step ahead. Next is increase rewards (such as RAD for wins, rank 6-7 enchants for top scorers, refining stuff, salvageable stuff for stop scorers instead of useless green-blue pieces) in the solo queue only, and you bring back people, while getting rid of stompers and PvP farmers.
You not experiencing premades might very well be due to time zone or luck. Cause i, on the other side, as a solo queue player, meet half premades and premades of PvP guilds very, very often. Half premades are the rule. 3-4 geared, 3.5k-4k PvP players from guilds AND ALLIANCES are pretty much what you meet 9 times out of 10. full pug vs pug is VERY RARE. In my experience.
Right now, you see a lot of these guys farming PvP pug groups with their half premades/ full premades to get prestige armor.
While it does not solve EVERYTHING, a pure solo queue option is needed without any doubt. It's pure common sense, with good peace of pugstompers and PvP farming groups. Which will still be able to use the normal queue to meet each others for more balanced games. Consider this: with all the pugs in the solo queue, PvP guilds will be able to easily clash in the normal queue.
Be happy!!

Cause single 4k BiS toons are much easier to deal with than a half premade of 3.5k-4k PvP from PvP alliances.
Also: you talk like a bully. You troll emilemo with the typical tone of those bully PvP players. "I see why you SO BADLY NEED a solo queue". There is literally NOTHING you can argue against a solo queue for those who want to do pug vs pug. You can still go for your mixed queue. It's still there for you. And when you don't have a valid argument, you go for the trolling, such as the above statement.
So what is your problem? That solo players are not forced anymore to queue together with half-premades or premades?
Let's reverse what you wrote: why do you SO BADLY NEED a mixed queue, that you say "no" to a solo queue?
You don't bring not even 1 valid argument. All you "no" guys say is "it doesn't solve all the issues". Which is not an argument at all, and shows only that you have really no valid reason to say that a solo PvP queue should not be in place.
Macjae, in fact, says it's a good thing. Cause at least it solves some issues, and the big ones i'd say. Cause iLvL difference is still subject to variables like builds and experience, while PvP premades are a 100% sure source of "no game".
I can't wait to have a PvP environment that is not swarmed by half premade of PvP alliances or geared premades of PvP guilds.
It's the perfect starting point to then solve the other issues, when players cannot actually bypass the matchmaking by forming premades.
The ability to adapt and play together with a random team is PvP skill too. Much harder to achieve than pure gear.
Now, if that GWF was in a half premade with his buddies, there would be no game.
So, again, my point: separating premades/ half-premades from solo queue pug groups is much more important than the pure "iLvL difference" thing.
And again, there's literally no valid argument to say no to a solo queue for those who want a pure solo queue PvP.

Exactly. Unfortunately the devs allow the matchmaking to match players with vastly different ELOs and the only answer to that is population. The solo queue takes care of a fundamental logical flaw in the Leaderboard system.
I so wish they'd bring it back
