Petition to remove GC restrictions from Frontlines.

[HylianBebop]

Curious if this is true or not, I hear this mentioned every so often as a reason why PVP queues are bad during off-hours:

Premades can hog the queue in Frontlines, like let's say Maelstrom on Primal data centers. Theory is that during times when it's 24-person only matches (majority of the day that isn't peak PVP time), the premade of 8 constantly gets into new matches because there are not 8 people queued up solo at that time. As a result, the 7 or less solo queue people are locked out until an eighth person queues up. Those 8 people then have to remain queued until the match slot opens up, so if even one person drops queue, the premade will still get in right away. Essentially this keeps happening and you never get 8 people queued during the small window when a new match is ready for participants. Once you hit peak hours with enough people queuing, this no longer is an issue.

This is very relevant again - please make it possible.

Even tho I know this is pointless because they don't care about pvp enough to fix such a simple thing I might as well sign it too.

So you know Balmung has an all GC pvp linkshell where we hang around and bitch. This is 100% of the case. The duty finder will not take ther random filled party over the premade party. They end up in a dead lobby while games pop nonstop all night with the 8 man premade. It is possible they never got 8 players its also possible they created a new lobby and the awesome system filled the new lobby and ignored the old lobby, like that would ever happen.

GC restrictions are a detriment to PVP

[XavantTheEnigma]

Signed. I'm always in favor of anything that enhances PVP queues.

[Lambdafish]

Signed, but reminding everyone that this won't change anything. The dev team are already fully aware and have commented on it a few times. I'm actually very surprised that shatter has these restrictions, and nobody is surprised that it was bad. On this issue the dev team is going against feedback that they are already fully aware of (and evidently ignoring for whatever reason).

My theory is that shatter was already in development when this was brought up before, and that is why things are still this way.

SE listen this feedback, we don't need new mode Early, we certainly care more about the GC restriction remove than a new mode. I am certainly not alone to think that.
