Frontlines: Leechers and Feeders

[OliverQ]

I have the worst luck with frontlines. Usually in the worst group and it's so lopsided. Group just feeds the lead group constantly and we lose more points than we gain. Also have had tons of premades lately. I'm so sick of FL.

Are we certain that everything's changing? I'd assume that it's a safe bet that PCT and VPR will completely change since they only have a placeholder kit right now with some glaring flaws, but there's no guarantee that they won't just slap the new buttons onto the current kit of the other jobs and do nothing much else.

Based on the promise they made during a live letter of "Adding new actions" and "Adjusting currently existing actions" It's impossible to know what will come of that, whether its just adding a new action to an existing job or a total rework of the job and how it functions. They're plenty known for making uneccesary/unwanted changes to certain jobs (Bard anyone?) I expect the same to occur. All we have so far are vague promises from Live letters and interviews. I wouldn't make a guide on anything until it becomes clear what exactly they are bringing us.

You really came back for seconds after your last asinine post?

I can give you ample time to delete this post if you like because it's just as dumb as when you were comparing gear to player participation in a duty.

I'll even do ya a favor and delete this post too once yours is gone.

I am getting a feel that person is actually a leech king and is trying to gaslight people who try to raise awareness regarding the issue

Playing PLD, see a teammate who's less than half HP and dropping. Okay, I'll save them with Cover. Cover + Guard successfully keeps them alive... and they keep blindly mashing buttons at the enemy team. Still at less than 50% HP; No attempts at healing. After the entire duration of Cover wears off, they die. Not once did they try to run away. Same thing happens 2 minutes later with ANOTHER person in my party. Why? Are you just turning off your brain for the daily EXP bonus? To level up alt jobs you will never play? I don't get it. Why ruin the game for everyone else for a pointless reward?

They clearly believe half a level of XP is well worth 12 minutes of mashing buttons. And the argument given here for why such players must be tolerated is that, without them, there would be no FL.

Being rewarded for participation alone has forever been the bane of PvP. Unfortunately the incentive to learn PvP has remained zero since the dinosaurs.

My dying wish since Heavensward was to only award the winning team anything but thats a dream that more than likely will never come to reality.

I think it is GC restriction prevents leechers and feeders
It is still a closed circle even players can move between GCs
Everyone will knows their GC members better than this current random crap
The people pulled this stunt usually get purged by votekick

I remember when Onsal first released all the veterans/premades stacked on adders and absolutely steam rolled lool. Then GC restrictions were implemented along with allowing only light party premades.

It’s crazy to me people complained about “losing” back then but now people are apathetic about winning at all cause “just here for daily lawl”. This community sometimes is honestly why we cant have nice things.

What if 1st place got a full level, 2nd place a third of a level and 3rd place half a level?

Rewards for 2nd and 3rd place should be the same. No one wants to see 2nd place teams attacking 3rd place to "secure" their higher reward.
