this should apply also for exp, wolfmarks etcetera... So ppl would be more inclined to try to win instead of cheesing a second place. I can't count HOW MANY damn times ppl start shouting: "just go for second place, you get more stuff"

There are straight out various achievements that gives mounts for winning, that's already a huge incentive. And the rewards from the match itself (not the roulette ones) also depend on your placement.
But sadly, people who only queue for xp would never find any reward big enough to warrant putting effort in something they hate.

I truly wish it was like pve where as soon as someone afks they're kicked and leeching is not allowed. The OP's proposal makes sense.

It's PvP, it's competitive by definition. If people don't wanna compete they can keep to PvE. Winning is literally the whole point of PvP.
Plus as I said above, good luck getting the mounts if all you do is lose.

My hopes are extremely low, since all they do is make Frontlines worse and worse, but isn't 6.2 supposed to bring additional Frontlines changes ? I'm hoping for some details in the live letter on friday.

Spoken like someone who hasn't been around very long.




The cooldown is too long but every afk person vote kicked has gone through.

Find me 72 people who will queue frontlines for barely any reward when CC matches average around 5 minutes?

Stop by Balmung in 3 hours and I'll show you.

I take it they didn't mention Frontlines besides Rival Wings?

Maybe they commented about it verbally in Japanese but I saw no slides about it no :(

Was really hoping for matches with smaller number of players if the queues are too long. Also slightly disappointed that Rival Wings is just the return of Hidden Gorge, I was kinda hoping for a new map or Astragalos return.

If they bring RW back they better this time fund a way for it to pop without people having to organize matches.

I wouldn’t worry that on Primal, CC is not everyone’s cup of tea

I really liked Rival Wings, I found it fun out of all the Frontlines style gamemodes. Too bad it wasn't popular and the queues took forever.
I'm hoping for a revert on the sustain buffs, my WHM is barely tickling people. It's really depressing considering WHM lost a lot of healing ability only to wind up the same strength as pre-PVP rework. So I basically lost more then I gained in Frontlines.
