    ...But wouldn't it be nice if groups of up to 4 players could drop together in solo queue like way back in the day?
    Hell, it may even help with the atrocious learning curve experienced by newbies as you could drop with 1-3 more experienced players whom you trust and could show you the ropes. I believe it would re-add another fun element to the game without getting crushed by full 12 mans or, alternatively, just not ever getting a match because the online population just isn't high enough at any other time than prime. Thoughts? Rebuttals?

    I've been in this camp for a while.

    Solo and group should be combined with a 4 man cap. Anything over 4 should be in Comp or FP.

    This is probably the only thing I want more than a better UI design, making playing with friends or a few unit mates easier.

    Especially when you have 2 new players, running trial mechs that have to drop against 8 and 10 man units all because they wanted to try the game together.
