    The amount is the entire point and it did matter to the devs too, which is why it was changed. No one cares about (hypothetically) you and your 5 friends doing it for a month until everyone gets bored. But now it's inconvenient enough that it's not thousands of people doing it for years. Success!

    The passage I quoted was about disconnecting or going afk repeatedly. Leaving has always been allowed. People could have - and should have - done that instead of taking their gear off and manipulating the queue.

    So we agree. The meta won't be alts, it will be random queuing + taking the penalty or not queuing at all.
