The Thrill is best, my favorite all-time solo conquest, and not a difficult one, but one that requires you to think a bit outside of the box (or just wait until you get insane GG items). Although obviously most S5 builds should still work fine in S7.
The GR75 is another gift to solo warriors, though even pure solo players might find all the other conquests easier (depends on class and how the S7 class changes turn out, obviously).
Avarice is also easier solo (especially since Ruins of Corvus is still not exempt), though it's possible in group in a dense rift. I wonder if this conquest will become much much harder now with the gold nerf; although the gold find bonus on TX was 2000% and now it's 4500% on T13. PTR will give us the answer, obviously, but with the changes to gold this might now require a bit more thought and possibly luck. Not sure how much gold the gold goblin drops these days and if he's exempt from the conquest - doesn't say so...
I'm torn on Sprinter. That conquest is very class-dependent; basically a DH will be your out-of-jail card here. It's something that rewards planning and coordination (if tackled as a group), but it's also something that can screw you over and let you waste 50 minutes if you encounter a few bad maps in act 5. I know some people have excelled in this conquest and can easily carry people through, but the fact that I have never seen anyone do this in less than 52 minutes (and experienced players finish with just 2-3 minutes off) makes you realize how much harder this is than the comparable "Boss Mode". Well, gearing up a DH for that isn't too difficult, so I might give it a go.
3 gems to 65 is the boring, grindy one. Would rather see a new one than that again, but then, it's the only one that doesn't require a bit more commitment and thought, it's just about time investment. It's gonna be interesting to see how the group nerf turns out; maybe this one will actually not be that much easier in a group than it used to be.
Looks boring, also opening cowlevel is usually good way to get avarice done.
If you have all golden gear on & at T10+ if you find a gold goblin will complete the conquest easy!
Not after the nerf from what iv seen.
Doesn't matter though, solo 75, 3 gems to 65 and solo 45 can all be done 2nd day of season. No need to fish for gold find
Ofc whole game in 1h can be done kinda instantly.

You aint doing two of the three you mentioned if you played HC, just saying
And yes, avarice is not just kill a Gilded on T10 and get conquest. T10 gilded gives around 11m gold, so you are still 39m short. Based on the gold find % a T13 Gilded will give you around 24m so you still need to chain 26m gold on it.
Yup, exactly the same Conquests (with powercreep tuning in some cases.)
They only seem to have two sets of Conquests for seasons, and both of them have been not the best. I wonder if they'll keep the stupid stuff like "level to 70 in hardcore for no reason other than to irritate people who can't be powerleveled" in Guardian this time...

No, it's a mixture of previous season's conquests, but not all S5.
Sprinter was a conquest in Season 1, 2, 3, and 5.
Avarice was a conquest in Season 2, 3, and 5.
The Thrill was a conquest in Season 4 (GR40 with no class sets) and Season 5 (GR45 with no set items).
Divinity was a conquest in Season 1 (GR30, "It's a Marathon"), Season 2 (GR35), Season 4 (GR60), and Season 6 (GR75 as well).
On a Good Day was a conquest in Season 6 and slightly different in Season 3 (6 gems to 40) and Season 4 (6 gems to 50).
TL;DR: Sprinter and Avarice are known from S5, but are recurring conquests that seem to be popular at Blizzard HQ (Sprinter now 5 out of 7, Avarice 4 out of 7 seasons). The Thrill is also coming back from S5, for the third time, and I expect to see it more often as it's simply one of the most interesting conquests and a solo one. Divinity was not an S5 conquest, but will probably come back more often again simply to please solo players. On a Good Day is the "grindy one", I guess they just want to keep that one in to have diversity - it was a conquest in every season since 3 with the exception of 5.

I have tested killing a Gilded on T13 & it works, I got 60M easy!

Yea only nolifers do this.
Since season always start on fridays u usually have full weekend to play.
At most you miss two days of drinking
I got solo75 done may 1st, aka two days after season start and that was with work on saturday. http://i.imgur.com/Gl1IgKE.png
And this was without fixed group, had group first 5h of season and rest only pugs/solo.
So if journey is your goal u can pretty much do it first weekend without too much grind.
The season 7 conquests are now visible on PTR. All of them are known from previous seasons, here are they:
Definitely some more love for solo players.
Thoughts?

Oooh, they put a lot of thought into them this time!

Well at least we got the thrill back. I do like that one. Groups seem to like Sprinter too, so that's cool for them.
Season 7 is looking to be the most "get stash tab get out" ever. Do we have the Gift sets yet? I don't see it in the thread about it.
Aren't these the same as S5 conquests?
Given the gold nerfs, i'll simply go for The Thrill, gems and 75 solo. No reason to waste time on them until you want all conquests done.

I think I will do all sc conquest but sprinter. I do not have disciplined group of people for that one.

Oh, my bad. Nice tracking.
With Boon of the Hoarder or without?
Ha, actually, you're absolutely right. I didn't really think that through, to be honest. Even the effect of Goldskin might be negligible then.
Good to know that this works then.
Didn't Avarice used to say you couldn't do it in the Not the Cow Level? Or am I imagining that?
I've done it by accident before, so I can't imagine it'll be too hard on T13. Get gold goblin, go on kill spree.
