I get that Frontlines is supposed to be fought between Grand Companies, but there are plenty of FCs whose members are fairly spread out between the three of them. Free Companies do have their own GC affiliations though, so would it be possible to let us queue in parties based on that as well as one's own affiliation?
It won't happen for Frontlines. Maybe something else in the future will let you queue as you wish. If it makes sense with the game lore.
The idea that the lore is prohibitive to a more inclusive PvP environment is silly. The GC affiliations on Free Companies is an already opened door, and I'm sure at least one person on the talented design team can figure out a way to write it in.
The problem - perhaps an unintended consequence of the system - is that we already see an exodus *en masse* within some Free Companies to other various GCs for the sake of queuing together. This is a problem, and an easily fixable one at that.
