    Two practical solutions for addressing the premade vs solo queue problem in FL.

    (Putting this here since if FL sucks, we have a responsibility to find solutions so it sucks less.)

    The problem: Many FL players who solo queue do not wish to play with premades. However, the suggestion that party queueing should be disabled is naturally unpopular among those who queue as a light party. I see two possible compromises that keep both camps happy.

    Solution 1. Two queue modes, one solo only, one solo+party. This addresses the problem that a premade-only queue would be slow to pop. Could include the option of double queueing with "first available" to speed queue times for soloists who don't care about premades.

    Solution 2. Make the Duty Finder queue solo only. Add FL to Party Finder. (Ideally this would include an auto-fill for solo players.) In addition to solving "the problem," this would also allow players to organize events in a much easier manner, without Q-synching (which is also becoming more of an irritant to solo players).
