Community Feedback for improvement of all existing PvP in 6.1

[Sinstrel]

Frontline is widely accepted as SLG game by JP/KO/CN and there is the main reason why you are always seeing someone taking the mantle of "commander" or "shot caller"
This person will be primary in charge of how to use this 24 resources.
In general, they will have much better Frontline experience because general players over there knew they are playing a strategy game.

When it comes to EN/EU, due to people's misunderstood of Frontline resulting to bad Frontline experience and this is why you are seeing other thread asking to delete Frontline.
Every said in that thread just showing how deep they do not understand.

It's true a lot of people do not understand how to play Frontline. Part of that is due to SquareEnix deciding on a large amount of PvE objectives that give various amounts of points for its PvP content, and no in-game tutorial on said PvE objectives and point values. However, even those of us who do understand how Frontline is played still do not enjoy it.

While this SLG style might be fun for asian servers, it's not fun for many NA/EU players regardless of their understanding of the format. This is unacceptable due to the lack of current options for PvP content. With the addition of crystal conflict, some will like it and some wont. With such a large portion of the avid PvP community on NA/EU disagreeing on Frontline, if they also do not like crystal conflict then there will be no option for them.

Asian servers generally prefer to have a commander giving them step by step instructions. NA/EU servers generally prefer to learn/try/do things on their own, developing new playstyles. There are KO/JP/CN players who have played thousands of games and very high win rates in the large group format just as there are players like myself who have played thousands of games solo and have the same win rate. Both playstyles are totally acceptable regardless of the player's understanding of the game, many asian players come to NA/EU just to experience the freedom of doing what they want for a change.

Frontline should not be 1 playstyle only. It should allow for the flexibility so that regardless of playstyles and levels of understanding, a team can still challenge objectives and be just as formidable as any other playstyle. This would make it fun for everyone.

Tldr; There are cultural differences which make the zerging 24v24v24 strategies (not going on your own) on asian servers fun, but do not work with NA/EU's culture of independence. Square Enix should listen to our feedback to re-evaluate frontline so that it is fun for ALL paying players.

No, it is not the culture difference and I think that is a an awful excuse.
For one, MOBS is not playing by Asians only isn't it?
There are great MOBA players from EN/EU
It is people that refused and failed to recognize the game mode.
For example, if you are using Battlefield logic to play COD games, you certainly will not be enjoying it, vice versa.
JP datacenter is also not for JP only, it is a mix bag of every regions other than EN and EU.

The issue with Frontline is from the people, not the mode itself.
Originally, FF14 was not mean for Player vs Player like WoW.
At beginning, it was hold up by a fraction of former WoW players.
Unavoidably, when Frontline first introduced, it is seems as a 3 way WoW battleground.
Misconception carried on from there as MOBA was not a thing yet.

I also don't think it is fair to say SE didn't care about EN/EU community, after all, they introduced Onsal Hakir.
It is the only Frontline mode where SLG element can be ignored and won by brute force.
Yet, how did that works out?
Did people enjoy it?
No, I for one do not and I am pretty sure many other veterans too.
Too many people refuse to learn.
There are guides every where official and non official but people choose to ignore it.

Also, your idea of removing drones and ice is not something new.
We had that already and it was called Secure Slaughter mode.
It was proven a failure and last only about one patch after Ninja is introduced
I don't see any reason of going back to that route.

Because if so, this is not what I am suggesting, did you read my post?

I read your post and I just can't help to disagree.
Drones and Ice have their purpose for Frontline that is a variation of MOBA as I clearly stated
