Shatter balance is ruined, Frontline is no longer 'fun'.

[Vartio]

I never thought I'd say this, but this EXP surge has ruined any and all semblance of balance in Shatter. No longer is the meta to win - but rather to rig the match so that your team never wins by ensuring another team never wins.

The last 3 matches for me have been the same:
-Maelstrom has at least 2 premade alliances
-Maelstrom sends all their forces towards Adder base
-Maelstrom invades our base.
-Maelstrom sits in our base forcing us to deal with them or we lose.
-But maelstrom don't care, it means that Flames win quicker, and that means more EXP.

This is disgusting, it accounts to little more than forfeiting to ensure that the match ends quicker, akin to Achievement trading, Win Trading for achievements, etc. In short the game's PVP balance for frontlines is gone due to the focus of "End the matches quickly for EXP".

People did this even before XP was given.

It wasn't about trying to end it quick, it was about fighting other players in a Player vs Player mode.

Frontlines is not a serious pvp mode. Don't take it too seriously to avoid frustration.
Sometimes people just want to have an epic brawl and ignore objectives. Join them and spread chaos!

The only important rule is to have fun. Results doesn't matter.

I would have to agree with the responses above. Shatter has always (mostly) been about 1 team focusing another team indiscriminately...even if it means losing.

Q seize so you can just kill a bunch of people

Arguably, both objectives and combat are even more important in Seize as you have to fight to keep them once captured.
