Much Needed Hotfix for Frontline PVP.

[snipski]

Force Freelancer status on everyone to make games more even, because right now players
are abusing solo Q to get into the same Grand Company team on EU its Adders and just steam rolling other teams to get 10 players with Battle High and just winning the game.

They have Linkshells / Discords for setting this up.
You basicly make players Solo Que up at the same time "without" Freelance status set as Adders for example forcing you to get into the same team.
So unless they hotfix it and make it Force "Freelance" there is going to be unbalance and you need to make your own Organized alliance and cheese it the same way.

This is making PVP boring and alot of players might quit the mode because how unfair it is.

Yeah, Devs should look into this. Adders are ruining the game.

Great PVP btw
JP also got the same issue with players abusing this system.

[Glenfiddich]

It's a shame how just a few players can ruin the game for a whole Datacenter. They all should be punished. Ban them from the next feast to teach them a lesson.

[Esmoire]

Yeah. The ideal world you have about a 33% chance of coming first in FL augmented by your performance, but the reality is that the nature of cliques combined with player perception of what is the winningnest GC kind of compromises it. I don't think the spirit of fighting for your FC is really worth the way this is skewing the experience.

[Ahzuran]

It's okay thought, I'm sure we'll have the same group of apologists telling us how premades don't ruin the game and how abusing the queue system is not really abuse even thought SE obviously never intended things to be like this.

Like history hasn't show every time they do this SE comes around and changes things around (sometimes for the worst) because they can't control themselves. SE should have gotten rid of grand companies in PvP a long time ago.

[Shpy]

Yeah, On Crystal every player that ques has this infectious mentality believing Maelstrom will always and just refuse to try and play the game and just try for second place. I think this would be a good step towards removing that mentality and hope players actually try to work together and try as a team instead of joining "the best gc".

I just translated his post into Japanese.

【FLに修正が必要だと思います】

全プレイヤーをGCフリーにすればゲームがもっと平等になると思います。
現在、一部のプレイヤーがソロ申請を悪用しているからです。
彼らは同じGC（＝Lightデータセンターの双蛇党）でソロ申請を行い、ただ他GCをヒキコロシして10人の高揚を生み出し、そしてゲームに勝っている状態です。

彼らは申請合わせ用のリンクシェル、discordを持っています。
フリー申請のチェックを外し同じ時間に双蛇党としてソロで申請をすることで、仲間と同じGCでプレイができます。

よって、強制的にフリーGC申請にしない限りはバランスの悪い状態が続くでしょう。
また、それに対抗して固定PTを作ったり、または同じ方法で申請合わせをする必要が生まれます。

これによりPvPがつまらなくなり、あまりにも不公平なために多数のプレイヤーがFLをやめてしまう可能性があります。

I like playing pvp with my friends, so I always queue up freelancer in a group. The 4 man restriction was a bummer though, so now 1 or 2 of us can’t go in with each other. My understanding is 8 man premades were “ruining” the game, but at least you had premades fighting premades so there was a chance in every match that you could win. After playing 6 matches or so tonight, Flames won every match using the same strat. Kill adder to get battle highs then steamroll the rest of game. The trick is single queue as a Flame cause that is where the people who enjoyed playing pvp went. This is harmful overall to the pvp community. I didn’t enjoy my time in pvp tonight and new players for sure didn’t either. It’s not fun losing and more so if you just started in pvp. Why keep playing pvp if you have no chance at winning? I want a change. Please bring back 8 man groups so I can play with friends who like playing pvp or change it to freelancer no matter how you queue up so that people can have a chance at winning and we can get new people to start enjoying it too.

It is your best interest to not post it on JP forum for a self humiliation because they don’t have issue with whatever is bothering you. Your problem is not lacking skill but rather lacking of PvP common, lack the understanding of what this mode is about and most of important, lack of situation awareness.

Asking to put everyone on freelancer mode is not asking for a resolution, it is you are hoping to be carry by the veterans. Bidding the odds on the randomness instead of improving yourself.
