Agreed, 100%.
There could also be a second queue, like in Factions MP from TLOU, where you can select “No parties” or “Parties”.
The difference between those two queues was stark. In one, you can get away with a lot. In the other, you could easily get your ass kicked by a squad of Iranians. (I did, and I joined them afterward, lol).
It would give any Pred player the challenge, or lack thereof, that they are looking for.
