I truly do not understand the mentality in this thread right now. Why is everyone hating on pre-mades when that is clearly not the problem! Pre-mades are forced into freelance status, which arguably means any pre-mades should be placed into a random GC.

This would not lead to the /real/ issue we have right now, which is that Mael has an unfairly high win rate. This is backed up by the Frontline standings on the lodestone: 23 of the top 30 players are on Maelstrom. This CAN'T be a coincidence, and isn't, as many freelance players (myself included) are constantly stacked into Flames and have statistically low win rates (5 -15%). Mael is just winning far more often than the other 2 GC.

Obviously what is /actually/ happening is that many talented PVP players are swapping to Maelstrom and solo queueing. So a large majority of the talent pool is concentrated into 1 GC. It seems like a premade because they just know how to friggen work together and how to actually PVP. They probably also have good leadership and shot calling.

The other 2 GC will then get slotted with a lot of newbies or FL roulette people who don't give a frigg about tactics or even trying to win. Adder doesn't seem as poor off as Flames, but they seem to have more dedicated PVPers as well.

The only real and fair solution is to remove GC queueing. Nothing else will solve this problem the PVP community has painted itself into. I am sure that many Mael players who are busy farming achievements and mounts will be against this solution, but we need to solve this sickness before Frontline dies again. With talent being spread more evenly, more matches will be less frustrating and depend on players sharpening their skill. Newbies won't give up, we can teach better, queue times should be better for everyone. Plz SE
