    It wont be 30 min itll be non existent 1-3 weeks after garo is over.

    You do realize pre garo 72s only ever popped up on Saturdays for a few short hours right?

    It would be the same after 5.1. PVP wont exist because of this anymore

    New patch, new rewards. That's how it keeps itself alive. Surely people are going to farm that 20k hairstyle or hair accessory. That's how this always works and will work.

    Ever since they sorted out Freelancer and the Daily Challenge/Map Rotation, Frontlines has been active regardless of rewards. It has consistently been active, events like Garo ending, or the Treasure Trove event simply helped to make the 72 player version happen more frequently. Outside those events/prime time the 24 player version remained active, which is exactly why people are so livid over SE removing it. There is absolutely no reason to remove it, all that does is kill the content outside new event/content hype and certainly damns anyone who plays actively outside prime time.

    I am guessing you didn't PvP pre freelancer. Rewards meant nothing except complaints, they didn't help ques. Aether at the time, close if not biggest data center had trouble getting ques during NA prime time. Rewards would only work if it was rotated on a weekly basis. Or they greatly change the rewards that they have now. For example give more xp then any other content pre 70. When the xp was better then anything else 72s popped all day long. Or if they have a plan by 5.2 to allow cross data center queing. Which has been discussed, but think it is not something that is soon.




    Also to the people who think SE is concerned about PvP. This would have either had a community response or been actually addressed in the live letter. Not an actual solution, but a we will be monitoring que times to see if regions have issues getting 72s to start. Doesn't promise anything, but at least we could pretend they care about the community.

    Obviously not, the person is acting like we get new pvp rewards every patch. Wolf marks are easy to come by & The only time front lines kept itself alive during seal rock days was mostly during prime time after the new modes kinda got old to the casuals plus the no freelancer made queues bad for a long time. I forget the timeline when they added freelancer, maybe around shatter? the only front lines mode that would pop for like ever until the rotation was added.
