6 months and still no public parties

PS5-It has been 6 months since I have been able to see and join public parties. I have read the threads and suggestions from other users with the same problem. I have tried going to all acts on my main and alt characters and 99% of the time there are no parties listed. When there is a party listed, there is only one and they are usually sitting afk in their game. Is this ever going to be fixed? Has it even been addressed!? I haven't even seen an official post acknowledging that this is an issue. I spent $30 to play this beta and was playing constantly, now the game isn't fun anymore, just frustrating looking for someone to play with. Please fix. 🙏

Ziggurat refuge post cruel is where the parties are. Because probably no one playing public campaign this late in league since it's just people zooming thought them or really late people that doesn't know how to public parties or doesn't like it.

From my perspective, GGG discourage group play with the following mechanics:

- only the host of a map gets Atlas XP, on top of character XP and Loot.
- each party member reduces the number of respawns you can have on a map

To the best of my knowledge, on a map with 4 respawns and 4 party members, no one can revive once killed.

- scaling is weird in maps where the party members are within different level brackets.

For examples, in instances where I had a guy carry me. I've seen characters at level 85 dying to Count Geonor on Normal. I've also had some of my level 40+ characters struggle in late Acts 1 & 2 during party play, in the sense that my defences felt nerfed, but my damage was left untouched.

At most I can refer to GGG's bonuses to loot while in grouped in a party as tone deaf because it's only applicable in grinding campaign maps and trials, which are currently not as important as doing maps and levelling up the Atlas.
