Getting group ported into Wall of Slaughter and half of your group going into one pick with 15 people in it and the other half goes into a pick with 20 people is very nice. Definitely an awesome start! Crazy this was needed because a couple of helmet boys couldn't figure out how to navigate a raid through MPG. Single punts are also not zoning everyone into the pick that their current group is in.
Groups and raids getting split into different picks isn't new with the patch. It really does make the MPG trials sucks.
Almost never had problems with this previously and now it's extremely bad, please revert this change asap.

The "work around" we found was for everyone to stay in the trial and get removed from the DZ. When the DZ collapses, everyone ends up in the same pick. If people try to zone out... it throws them all over. Not a fix, but it made MPG trials more bearable.
