Guild Wars 2

it’s frustrating solo queueing in this game now more so than before and it’s more enjoyable when you’re atleast suffering with someone else

It’s more enjoyable when you are not suffering at all. Despite if you won or lost last match. Because it was a fun and engaging match from start to finish. But I doubt that is the focus for ANet.

I’m pretty sure ANet just are looking for number of matches/day. Rather then looking for number of competitive and meaningful matches/day.

Far as the population problem goes. Well if your game is just not fun or engaging. You are not going to convince people to continue to play anyways. More so when there are much better PvP games that deliver more engaging and competitive matches consistently.
