I'm not totally against playing alongside friends or FC members, as it is one way to help introduce new players to PvP. But, there's a great deal of difference between just queuing as a party and then playing as you would solo (giving your friend no more focus or attention than the random players in your team) and actively forming a pre-organised group to cover all meta jobs, syncing via vc to the point where attacks are simultaneous, and demanding the rest of the alliance obediently follow orders without question and responding to any conflict with "Do you have a 90% win rate? No? Well shut up". Sadly, that's the case for many premades.

I appreciate that a kill-focused, coordinated approach is the way to win but, even amongst a very good random team who aim to sync attacks, the level of coordination reached by decent premades cannot be replicated to the same extent by random teams. I enjoy a competitive game. Unfortunately, premades remove any sense of competition and just push more casual players away from PvP altogether.
