While I am not a fan. What you may not realize the only reason you are getting pops is because they are queing. Two, they have to be queing as full parties. I can not believe so few adders are queing that they can get 24 people in from solo ques. Also the adder pugs get stomped because the other teams push them to try to stop premades. A few times after a premade a pug might only score 100 points.

I enjoy when Faerie and Balmung have their premades going. They don't seem to stack any class. I seem to have deleted my old screen shots but I assume the other premade group is the same class stackers from slaughter. They would not be nearly as impressive if they were all bards or paladins instead of summoners and warriors. If Flames have enough regulars and score gets a little out of control we might just make adders life miserable for the fun.

If they remove Grand Companies you should expect more team based games. Flames and Maelstrom just can't risk the que. So while those adder premades feel good about themselves now give it some time when they have no competitive advantage. Also the advantage of solid pugs with multiple rank 45+ flames is gone, since we have so many jumpers last few weeks.

I would actually like an unsynced, no grand company, and alliance que mode. Criers beware, just imagine rank 50s running around in full 210 pvp gear with the odd pve piece. But right now I suggest no fixes except Grand Companies die. The duty finder is run by two undead hamsters (it's true, really believe me). Anything added to it and we would not fix anything. In other games you didn't have to worry about premades to much. You get stomped once and onto the next match since the que was solid.
