Ganging up?

Going after the GC that's in first place is a valid strategy to try to take the lead.

Going after the GC that's in second place is a valid strategy to either extend your lead if you're first place or to take at least second place if you're third.

Going after the GC that's in third place is a valid strategy to extend your lead if you're either in second place or first place.

No matter what GC you are and no matter what place you're in, it's advantageous for the other two GCs to assault you. You will see this, without doubt, as you PvP. It is no conspiracy, nor is it any sort of real plan, it's just basic tactics. And, of course, if your GC is the one that's always assaulted, then you're likely always at 1st place early-midway into a game or have some terrible luck.

Thus is the nature of 3-Way Free For All Faction-based PvP.

it just makes sense to me then if you have 700 points i have 700 points and susie may has 1500 points that we would fight eachother over 2nd place rather then go after susie may who is obviously sealed first place at this point.

Complete pvp noob here, but I'm enjoying the hell out if Frontlines right now! How do you tell who is in what place before it's over?

While true, I have personally experienced games where we've overcome those odds exactly. It's rare, but it happens.

Also, it's important to keep in mind that your enemies are people, and people aren't always logical. It's a sort of instinct to go after the one with the largest advantage en force, so that's what you'll see a lot of people doing. That's why you're most likely to be hit if you're in first place, regardless of lead.

More particularly, you know this game's quest tracker? I think it's called something like the Duty Tracker or Duty List in this game... Anyway, you can see the current score for each GC on the top of that list.
