Ban premade parties in Frontline please

[Sinstrel]

An easy, obvious solution is to implement pre-made only 8v8v8 Frontlines (require at least a 4-man light party to que up). They could even add rankings/rewards (dyeable Commander's Coat?)

I like that idea, so long as premades don't end up matched with players doing their FL roulette.

They can and they did. Crystaline Conflict.

You know, there's a reason why I call Crystalline Conflict "Frontlines 2.0", but that's neither here or there.

I haven't played frontlines in over an expansion, and I'm more than likely going to continue to sit in casual CC only. We can be in the same room and yet be in 2 different worlds not satisfied for different reasons.
You have a problem with premades controlling the game despite everyone following them whether your team is farmed or not.
I have a problem with my team losing one fight from the entire alliance stacking on one objective and accepting last place because of a bad start.
I would like to believe that all worlds can coexist. However, due to the many changes that were asked that favors only farming objectives I don't see that happening at all. It's not like I can go tryhard and brute force my way to close games. I no longer have the kit for it.

If 24 man frontlines was still a thing I don't think I would ever have use for the forums. I do remember annoying the premades towards the end of the full party life cycle, where they were forced to stop farming the entire room to either hunt me 1v8 or send a person or 2 to babysit me. I think I'm still confident enough to pull that off despite having to relearn frontlines....
Please don't suggest for the smaller version to be premade only. Extreme/savage raiding is already unplayable content to me since it's premades only. If this does make a comeback someday I don't want that to be gated as well.

I think we just have different experiences here. I get the frequent doomer 1 minute into the game but nine times out of ten they realize that things can turn around through the power of teamwork. So long as all three teams are playing on equal footing, that is. If you're against a premade, 50/50 chance people rally vs give up.

NGL that sounds like a good time. Unfortunately in FL as it is now there's so little a single player can do against a coordinated group of 24. You die in an instant. So the only option currently is to try to herd increasingly pessimistic cats.
