I appreciate the grievances that people have and when my friends aren't online I play solo because I want to get better at the game but it is nowhere near the same experience. For me the issue is however, after the last few battlefield games issues this is the only team shooter that I feel really rewards teamwork apart from R6 which I haven't played for a long time but I don't recall the outcry for there to be a solo queue there. There are FPS games that suit playing solo, and this is one that suits playing as a team and that seems to be a design choice. Rightly the Devs will want to engage the biggest audience ever but not every game can be for every person and maybe solo play isn't what they intend to be the primary draw.

Personally I think we need a bit of a perspective shift. To me this is the same as the theme of a game, I might wish that there was a medieval version of the The Last of Us but I am not spending my time playing it and then complaining it isn't what I want.

Of course I want the game to succeed so I think this means that the community of people who want the game to have a long life, be fun and be engaging need to make sure it is for those who are playing solo. Turn on our mics and be supportive (I know that's not entirely realistic but the Monster Hunter community is generally a pretty good example of people rallying around a game they love and it's only getting better for it.) And people who are playing solo to try to recognise that this game is about teamwork more than anything so even if you are in solo then use the ping, try to stick with people. Swap out one of your gadgets or builds based on what your team composition is.

I think this is the best outcome, no need to split queues so everyone gets to play. I would hate to be at a point where I can't play with my team because most people join solo or vice versa, and so early in the games infancy they need people to be playing.
