Do people even know how frontlines work?

Frontlines is basically super casual mode. It is mindless silly deathmatches for most people. Now to be fair, I play seriously and my performances (Both in winrate and personal success with getting Battle Ferver) but, I equally recognize outside of marks for glamour gear and a few achievements, there is no incentive to actually win.

Go in looking for a fun time and just be happy when you win. You will be less upset. You could also play Ranked Feast with a team for serious PvP.

Well I wouldn't play pvp if I had a choice, but thanks to the addition of a certain class named samurai there's a lack of healers. I personally really want to play RDM, but because hte current dps queue is close to 40-50mins per dungeon it's just smarter to do pvp for 700k+ exp with 10mins of playing...

PvP is definitely not the main element of the game and it's actually horrible, but it's by far the only proper way of catching up to the MSQ in stormblood for dps players. Now what frustrates me is the amount of people that have no idea how frontlines actually work. I can't count the times today that I've had a pvp match where people would just keep chasing into enemy lines ALONE. People even ignoring crystals right next to them, just because they want to kill something.

Worst part is that I've seen games where it's literally less than 200 points vs two alliances that are already at 900+.

There are a lot of recent new players, so there's plenty of people who don't know how frontlines work. Then there's people who never bothered to learn how frontlines work or don't care. The best thing you can do is just try to lead if you want to win. That being said I don't think it matters unless you're farming for glam.

My advice is find a healer or tank buddy. I mean, this is a MMO.

They deleted that mode :s

I'm not having much trouble in Frontline but the healer deficit is extremely noticeable! It's brutal out there with all of the new DPS players not understanding how frail they really are, but still fun.

Oh shoot, did not even notice XD.

For players looking to rack up and do work, I highly recommend SMN and BRD. Both do tremendous work for long distance (Now that they removed the distance penalty.

BRD will allow you to silence healers and then burn them with Army's -> Barrage -> Empyreal Arrow.

SMN just hurts.
