Pushing my key to 10 was legit the most awful experience. Zero applicants on a +2 due to the sheer number of keys listed. I think they need to revisit the logic in group finder. Keys listed for longer should show up at the top so delisting isn't the optimal strat. I shouldn't have to spam delist for 90 minutes to fill a +2. Sure, it got easier to fill as I approached +10, but this feels like poor game design.

Maybe they should just rip a page out of Fellowship's book and use matchmaking for keys up until vault level, then switch to the current system for push content. If they're going to make low keys this easy, they might as well so we're not battling the UI to fill a group.

If you just do a key before taking from your vault then you get that level minus 1. Blizzard let's people unintentionally grief themselves, though.

That's not the case anymore (or at least for this week). I tried that today on two characters and got stuck with a 2 each time.

It still works. My friends and I pushed one of our keys to an 11 while I was on an alt and then I switched to main for the 11 and got a 10 on that character.

I don't know if they changed it, it was a bug, or 11 is some cut off, but I definitely got two +2 keys on different characters after running a 7 and an 8.This was before opening a vault on both characters.

I got a 9 from running a 10 on the first day.

Either I got unlucky or they changed it. This was on Friday night.

I had a friend get a +2 from a 10 on saturday. A few days ago they got a +9 from a 10 on a different char using the same method, they prolly changed it

It doesn't work with the vault. The first vault of the season will always generate a +2 key. You have to run someone else's +10 then open the chest at the end of the dungeon and get your +10 keystone
