More about having people around you as you play it. Game definitely should encourage it, but FF14 also should provide (and is providing) opportunities to play alone~

Can understand why people don't like to play against pre-made. But at times it feels more like an excuse to the question of why people don't really trying their best in pvp. My answer would be they just don't want to play it in the first place, but do so because of roulette's rewards and pvp-pass.

So with such atmosphere can't really say much against banning said premade parties. But think the rest on the list is too much. After all, pvp is 24 vs 24 vs 24, so some semblance of team-play should be available. And it's hard to be a team without at least a little commanding and organising. So if some people feel like trying to lead - good luck to them.

People can still communicate and coordinate without markers on their heads and waymark spam macros. It's just that these are tools of the evil premade and must therefore be cast into the void for the good of the realm.

People can, but markers on the ground/map are way more noticeable and easier to follow. The whole point of them \o/

Nah. In fact we should bring back 8-man parties.

An easy, obvious solution is to implement pre-made only 8v8v8 Frontlines (require at least a 4-man light party to que up). They could even add rankings/rewards (dyeable Commander's Coat?)

I like that idea, so long as premades don't end up matched with players doing their FL roulette.

Nothing prevents me personally from queueing up solo, but many friends of mine do play in pairs or have me join in. I'm not trying to put you on the spot, but you've never once partied up for a frontlines match? Like, would you be open to partying up to see what it's like?

I have of course. But I would easily sacrifice the ability to do so if it meant never playing against another accursed domineering premade.
