The Frontlines Premade issue has not been fixed.

You and I just see this differently. I don't see it as a loophole. To me, syncing queue is no different from using discord and queue syncing into Hydatos in the attempt at BA with a preformed party. SE clearly said they didn't want that to happen, but it did even though they wanted and expected us to PuG it out while inside the instance.

Would you mind showing me where he said that? Because Yoshi-P has said "we received of lot of positive feedback especially from players in the West." in this interview: https://ffxiv.jeuxonline.info/actual...ir-mmo#english

Positive feedback tends to imply that he's happy with it right? I mean yeah, wasn't intended obviously, but he sure as hell isn't frowning upon it.

And considering that the west used the discord queueing method and Japan pugged, I'm really curious to see where Yoshi-P has stated that he has frowned upon this method. Could you link it please?

I'm not going to remember exactly what Live Letter it was from something over 6 months ago, this article is also way more recent. This interview just says it was successful, and it was. But Yoshida did say the intent of BA was to 'party inside and take on the challenging Dungeon.' Japan went about it the way they had initially intended. While the West were more organized outside the game. He said it was 'something they didn't forsee.' But didn't outright say it was bad, just that it wasn't the intended way the content was meant to be taken on.
