Why is 3v3 so unpopular ?

This topic has probably been brought up alot, so my apologize to repost this but:

Why is 3v3 so unpopular on all the servers except on Blackrock but 2v2 is still way more popular there.
I played molten/warmane since 2009 and it's been always like this. I thought it was first because of the low populated servers.
But since Icecrown has like a stable 12k population I think population is not the problem. So what is the problem ?
Because in retail, 3v3 has always been more popular and more fun cause high rated 2v2 will be just full with pala/war and mage/rogue or priests :(

Also how do you guys get the wrath shoulders if the 3v3 bracket is dead ? Like i made a brand new team with 0 rating and im ranked 200 wtf :D

Donation obviously.

Playing with randoms is meh.
And not everyone has friends playing the same game the same way able to join his team for 3x3.

Answer is simple, more thinking is involved.

Personally I love 3v3 and 5v5. It's much more fun, need more skill and communication in the team. Somehow the PvP guilds should make it more popular, they should organise 3v3 sunday nights and advertise it all week, or something like that. I came here to play 3v3 and 5v5 too. :)

Most of said pvp guilds are actually just bg premade guilds most don't touch arena sad but true.

Perhaps

1. No more coin rewards for R1.
2. Player quality went all the way down after Moltdown.
3. New MMR system is killer.
