Will there be SOLO queue for PVP in Dawntrail

[Atreus]

That's the last thing I'd want. I enjoy playing with other players, but on a level playing field. I've mentioned before, you cannot possibly know what current games without premades are like since you never queue solo. Sure, some of them are a clownfest. But many involve plenty of communication, flanking, baiting, and coordination. And they are far more interesting (to me) than those featuring premades.

You say you far prefer a game of strong, competent players. Me too. But just because you've brought three strong players with you doesn't impact the composition of the other 68! It does, however, drive some competent players away.

I got news for you pal. The competent players are all playing Crystalline Conflict, not caring about the nonexistent sanctity of Frontline solo queue. Let people play with their friends in an MMO. It's just that shrimple.

Ah the arrogance of the PvP gatekeeper. Of course they are "pal."

How many times do I have to say I am not trying to ban people playing with friends, I just want the option of a solo queue so I can play in competitive, interesting matches.

Ain't gatekeeping shit. Just telling you what it is. Frontline is mostly people leveling, people who don't know their buttons, or people whose focus is mostly on their Netflix screen. You may get a decent game now and then but not a single lobby is filled with people that are like-minded as you. "Competition" in Frontline is a farce. Split the queue like that and you'll do more damage than good.

The logic behind splitting the queue seems plausible, but without data, we can't judge if it's a bad idea. We just don't know.

The data is that SE takes forever to make changes. Multiple patch cycles or entire expansions go by before changes of significance happen. Astrogalos is still gone. Secure is still gone. FL has been suffering from similarly-themed issues since Stormblood. If you get your wish of a "trial" period, then we'll be stuck in it for a damaging amount of time.

But let's be real, anyone advocating for these separate queues knows fully that even if solo continues to pop, premade ones will only pop when the community forces it to. It's short-sighted and selfish.
