I played WoW.. and I never understood this argument. Why is a solo or group player in the same group as a raider to begin with? That's like sticking a level 60 alongside a 45 without syncing.

I very much believe in segregating players by playstyle. You cannot put a PVEr and PVPr in the same group together. Someone is going to get bored or annoyed. Just like you can't stick a Raider with a Lonewolf or Grouper. When you complete one tier of content, you shouldn't be in lower tiers. That leads to steamrolling.

Different levels of content help spread out the player base to avoid such conflicts. Just make sure to leave everything in the higher tiers OUT of the Duty Finder. That way players have to go out of their way to be in harder content. This avoids the "I'm just queuing, why is everyone being mean to me?" WoW did this in Legion, Normal Dungeons were for leveling. Heroics were for max level players. Mythicals were for players who wanted a bit tougher stuff. Mythic+ (went from 2 to 15)

Everything but Mythicals were in the dungeon finder. Mythicals required you to form groups the old fashioned way and enter the dungeon at its location. Your 'average' player didn't even know how to get into them. Those doing Mythicals got NOTHING from doing Normal or Heroic. So if you weren't capable of doing Mythicals, you didn't see Mythical geared players in your heroic or normal dungeons.

It worked. People complained still. Because Mythicals were too hard for some of them. But it solved alot of problems. Having 15 difficulties made for a lot of content. They basically took Torment mode from Diablo 3 and applied it to dungeons. Didn't even change the mechanics much (some did change). Just uppped HP and damage of mobs, gave the dungeons random debuffs/buffs (kinda like PotD). And the players did the hardest difficulty their combined skill, gear, and party makeup could do.

They applied it to raids as well (minus the Mythic+... not sure if they added that to raids or not).

Here's how it should work:

Solo Gear advances you in Solo Content
Group Gear advances you in Group Content
Raid Gear advances you in Raid Content

There shouldn't be any reason for a Raider to do Group content or Groupers doing Solo. Those three groups of players shouldn't be together. Their playstyle is too different from one another.
