I agree that the prevention of premades could build the community and allow for people to have access to more "fair" gameplay.

I've been a solo FL player the whole time I've been PvPing and there are times where a full premade will just stomp over the other two teams, to the point where the counterplay becomes "kill ice only, don't fight them, hope that they beat up the other team for a long time so we don't get hit as much". This sort of play is obviously terrible for even keeping average PvPers in the mode.

If they do decide to keep allowing 8 player premades, I hope that they play only against other 8 player premades and allow the rest of us to play with each other in games where it's fun because it's not a stomp.

That being said, the 8 player premade stomp event only really happens on NA data centres and doesn't really occur at all on my primary character's data centre at least, JP Elemental.

(I actually enjoy playing Frontlines on my alt on Aether more... when it's not a stomp of course.)
