If frontlines were que'ed across all servers(JP,NA, legacy etc) there would be a lot faster que times. Also there needs to be a rookie zone for beginners to play with each other.
There are a lot of new players starting out frontlines. I see a lot are using pvp il70 gear when morale gear does not work. When I asked one player to change to his il90-100 pve gear, he did and he still did not notice the extra 500 hp he got afterwards and still assumed morale works and all item lvls sync up towards il80...(it will only sync down)
Had another game where a entire 8 man party did not know where "markets" is... and did not goto that flag the entire match.
LoL has players play until lv30(roughly 300 games without exp boosters) before they are even able to play ranked games or any other lv30s in solo que(unless matching other team wins with premades). That way beginners still leanring the ropes can enjoy the game while still learning against other new players. Also helps the more experienced players play with each other as well.
Please make players with less than 50+ 1st place games que together and merge all servers for Frontline to reduce que times.

They can't do that. The lag would be ridiculous.

If anyone in that eight-man group wanted to go to markets or wanted to know what markets was, they would have looked at base names. They didn't care enough, so they didn't look, and that won't likely change with experience.
On a partly related note: If you meet someone like that again, who doesn't know Morale is turned off in Frontlines and doesn't believe you, then tell him to look at his Morale stat in the Resistances tab of the Character window, which will read "0".
Now, all of that said, what I WOULD like to see is a tutorial Frontlines map filled with NPCs (instead of other players) that one could solo-queue for, which would explain the ins and outs of how Frontlines works (such as Morale not functioning and Ilvl being the max item level, but not the min) and allow free exploration of the map. In addition, it would allow you (and prompt you) to "capture" bases from the "enemy Grand Company" (which is actually comprised of a total of 8 weaker-than-the-player NPCs that sit and defend node points), explaining what the benefits of a base are and how the mechanics of capturing them work; to kill a weaker solo-friendly versions of drones and nodes up in middle while explaining what you get for killing them; etc.
I am completely against segregating the new/inexperienced players from the rest of the community just because the rest of the community doesn't feel like dealing with them. I am, however, completely for the addition of a tutorial-mode Frontlines queue like I outlined above, where you play through an on-rails Frontlines "game" (read: tutorial) to familiarize yourself with it and its mechanics. -

Could they automatically boot offline players after a certain amount of time has passed? More than likely someone in your party will be in combat and your limit bar never builds...really inconvenient.
