I have said it for a very long time, but public servers/matchmaking have been the single worst thing to have ever happened to online gaming, and I will die on this hill. Lootboxes, MTX, even pay-to-win is all irrelevant compared to the damage that matchmaking has done to the social structure of online multiplayer gaming. And that isn't to say that those things haven't done a lot of damage, but they're nothing compared to the damage matchmaking has caused.
That is a REALLY controversial take if you ask people who play warcraft these days :

The game currently has manual matchmaking and automatic matchmaking. (for some dungeons vs for pvp) and holy shit is the manual matchmaking toxic - people use addons that can see your history and use it to gatekeep what you will be able to do. (if you haven’t done 500 +9s, you won’t get invited to a +10)
he's full of shit though. no one gives a shit about your spec in a +4.
yes, you won't be invited to a +10 if you haven't done +9s. Why? Cause there are 50 people applying to the +10 who have done +11/12. why not take those?
Nothing stops him from creating his own group and running his own key. Will take him 3-4 bricked keys at most before he gatekeeps people as well.
