This was the first time I got to play lots of games each evening. It still didn't pop during the day.
There is so much to learn in there, and what you need to be doing seems to shift as the game advances and different elements come into play.

There is a difference though between people doing badly, and people not doing at all.
Perhaps some contribution threshold put in place might help with the issue in future.

With front line having lost its team/faction feel I no longer do it; so it was nice to get into something new.

It used to be when I unlocked the mode I'd be in que all day, nothing, eventually gave up.
