As solo;
-the toxicity you have to endure, even if not directed at you, is some of the worst I have seen outside of a MOBA.
-the pressure to preform is at an elevated level, beyond that of just rolling with friends, likely contributing to the toxicity problem.
-the wait times are horrendous if you are a dps. Even if you are assembling your own group. You either have to wait on a tank or a healer, or you spend a good chunk of your play time getting rejected, applying to join other groups.
-Even if the previous three aren't an issue, it has the same pitfalls as any pugs, in that people aren't always on the same page. Examples like unfamiliar routes, unintended mob pulls, wasted cooldowns, and a whole host of other coordination problems.
With no alternative end game content, it is as if Blizzard is trying to de-incentivize solo play.
