Cut the ability to queue as a group in Frontline

And even then, if you care about winning then you’d care about how premades will have an advantage because of better coordination and communication.

If you cared about winning, you could also just find a group of players who also want to do that and form a premade.

I still just find it laughable that in a game of 72 players, the problem is somehow the 4 players that want to play together.

I've said this a couple of times, myself. Rather than complaining about premades, people should just try forming their own premades. It's not something that requires special skill.

Let's suppose that SE does get rid of the ability to group-up for Frontlines. First, you're absolutely going to get a lot of people complaining that they can no longer play together with their friends. Second, you're still going to get destroyed by teams that just have better players because, regardless if they are in a premade or not, they know how to read the flow of battle, figure out what to do, and then execute on that. They know how to look at their map; they know how to stay grouped; they're better at using their skills; they're better at prioritizing objectives and targets; and they don't just run away from every single fight just cause 1 or 2 frontline melees charge forward. At that point, there's really nothing left except to accept your own deficiencies, and I say this as someone who knows that he sucks at the game. However, I'm not going to cry to get rid of premades. I'm just going to try to get better at my own playing.

People pack as many groups in one team as possible, because matchmaking is trash.

I still just find it laughable that people go lengths to defend people abusing system.

"In one team"? And how pray tell are they achieving that? Because Grand Companies haven't been a filter for matchmaking in a LONG time, you can be Flames and end up on Maelstrom all the same.

If you mean queue syncing and perhaps language filter, that's a different issue altogether (assuming they still work).
