    You could keep the GC fights for this embarrassing obsession with lore adherence, but XIV could just look at how its very successful older brother XI handled it to alleviate myriad issues. You were affiliated with a city state in that too, but when you joined Ballista, that made no difference. You were essentially a free agent, and the game placed you onto the team that needed bodies. In this way, your enemy last game is suddenly an ally, Grand Companies are still skirmishing, and it provides a fresh new experience every single time, because you're not playing with the same people over and over.

    Because a big problem I've been seeing right now is, there will be times where out of the 24 people in your Frontlines group, roughly 10 or so are just not very good. And they've all decided to do PvP during the same times, so it's a death wish to go into those matches. So you have to take yourself out of the queue pool and just wait it out, hoping that in the next hour or so, they leave, so you can get a shot at some victories. The PvP community is not nearly large enough to accommodate this type of structure. If it's a day where by and large only the bad Flames players are participating, just uncheck that Duty Finder, because you are not going to have fun. And now I'm locked out of content, because the balance is so egregiously tipped in one direction, and the dev team apparently finds no issue with this. Yoshida was apparently a DAoC player, I don't remember that having such horrendous faction balance issues.

    And this isn't even getting into the boneheaded idea that, unless you and your friends in your Free Company are all allied with the same Grand Company, you cannot play with one another. Nothing like forcing people into a GC they don't particularly want to be in, just so they can play with friends, 10/10 design choices transpiring here.

    First of all, I dont think they will lift GC afflication, because the number of players enjoying the system is much greater. Those who are having issue are majoirly Malestorm English players that option out GC switch to relief their misery. Unfortuantely, this is a small pinch if you compare to total number of the Frontline population. This is not FF11 Ballista where number of pvpers per server is no more than 100 players.

    Lift GC afflication seems like open a can of worms to me. Currently, you rarely seeing a leecher, most of players are playing for the vicotry, therefore, a very competitve PvP experience. When you remove this GC afflication, Frontline will just end up like WoW BGs. People would abuse it as a place for free myth farming. It would hurt majoirty's PvP experience.

    If you are only looking voices from side that is supporting you, you better clearly stated it on your title or your first post. If you open this thread for discussion, be ready for the voices you dont want to hear.

    I am welcoming people to join Twin Adders so Twin Adder will not always short 6 people at start, duh? Does that seem Twin Adder is carrying anyone on Primals? Didnt pay attention to last month's tally? Malestorm has 45% winning ratio on the Primal server.. Is that best insult you can do? I mean, what you have just said seems apply to you more since Malestrom overwhelming other two GC everywhere? Feel too comfortable on the winning wagon?

    If you option out change GC, do make sure you are asking for correct resolution. How about saying Chaos cluster is too small to sustain 3 GC afflication and ask for a bandaid instead? You may get your resolution and you wont hurt other people who enjoying the system.

    Here, let me re-phase your title for you:

    Abolish Gc vs GC vs GC in frontlines (Supporter Only)

    Please do change it so you can enjoy your one side only "DISCUSSION"

    I actually welcome constructive negative criticism, none of which was found in your posts. Try harder.

    Up to me open it to all the GC afflication wouldn't implement the leecher so much, even because there's the vote dismiss that can help you.
    But the only "problem" is that you can dismiss (If I'm not wrong) only people in your paty, so if there's 5 leechers in a party you will lose.

    "Positive" is not objective and even if I agree with your suggestion you can't reply in this way to a player that is only telling his idea.

    The Frontlines system definitely needs work.

    SE did that on their own when they created FL and opted to shower players with hundreds and hundreds of wolf marks, xp, soldiery and myths whether they get 1st, 2nd or 3rd place.

    I'm torn. I can't stand the long queues, but at the same time I don't want to lose that affiliation with my GC. I'm proud to represent the Maelstrom because it's part of my identity in this game (which is why I haven't jumped ship for quicker queues). I enjoy fighting for my Grand Company and not just some arbitrary group slapped together by a matchmaking algorithm. I want the queues to change as much as anybody but I, personally, would rather they not abolish this.
