I was talking about this with some friends recently. We were doing raids to get tomes last week and after the second time of being matched with another Scholar I started up the conversation.
Anyway, one of them said they thought that the Extremes only had that special matchmaking. But I don’t remember them ever saying that. When they broke the healers off into the two types I really thought they made a big deal of it being a big new feature. If it was just for Extremes and other really high end content, then 90% of the player base isn’t getting it.
And maybe the excuse is that it makes the queue times faster, but it’s not like I only see Scholars in the alliance raids. The other parties always have a variety of healers, but somehow I’m almost always matched up with another of my type. I’d rather wait an extra minute or two just so I don’t have to worry about ever over-writing someone else’s shields or making sure I don’t cast Chain Strategem over the other’s.
