I loved the Wolves' Den. Arena style PvP is something I loved doing in all MMOs.

Why does the system intentionally keep me from participating in it?

Today I put together a group of 4 players to queue. I was told we'd need 8 to coordinate both parties so the queue would pop. We found 8 players. We'd need to average the PvP ranks between parties. We averaged to a difference of 3. Now we'd need to average a difference of 2 or less ranks. Swapped players, and averaged a difference of 1 pvp rank. Now a rank 45 would not be allowed to play in a match against a rank 17, even in iLvL synced play.

After an hour, I gave up. With 8 players wanting to play together, WHY can't we? The rank matching system was put in to decrease the barrier to entry for new players. Instead, it's an impassable barrier to entry for most players.

Idea:
For iLvl synced Den matches, remove the rank matching component.
