So by your logic then raid statics should be removed too because they talk and communicate and it makes raiding easier then pugging. Let's just make FF14 a single player game because you think every aspect of an MMO is unfair.

Raiding isn't a competition.

An equivalent would be a damage contest in DF where you need to do alot of damage on a dummy. The team that does the most damage is the winner.

And coordinated, 8-man premade statics are allowed to queue against randoms. Not fair.

You just described Shatter, to a degree.

And the answer isn't to punish or hinder the players that DO work together. If anything, it should encourage people to work together. If someone steps up to call the shots and they're making good calls, listen to them. If someone's there who CLEARLY is a veteran player, listen to them. If a call is bad, don't argue over it, simply suggest something better; if the shot caller wants to win, they'll put aside their pride and do what's best for the team. Premades don't always win. However when random players refuse to cooperate, you pretty much hand over the victory, and that's not on the premade, that's entirely on those of you who won't work together.

Based on my experiences PvPing against premades offers 10% win chance and free nightmare coupons.

The chance of winning isn't 0% but it also isn't high either.
