Ban premade parties in Frontline please

[Mawlzy]

Because the social aspect of the game is gone?

I've introduced so many people to PvP by just saying "hey lets go do our daily Frontline roulette." And I'll run them through the ropes in the Wovles Den first, we'll giggle about seducing each other with Dancer LB in a duel, then go on trying to work together and fight some people.

But because we're part of the terrible premade boogieman, you'd rather have the four of us queue up separately, play with four different ideas about what's happening, rather than hanging out. Just because you don't want to interact with other people, either socially or through gameplay, doesn't mean the rest of us have to suffer.

Wouldn't premades matched with other premades be more social?

It's pretty clear premades are not going away, and while playing any game on VC is my idea of hell, I recognize some people enjoy it.

If we return to 70%+ premade win-rates, which I think is inevitable, the onus is on SQEX to address the problem. Whether that is through matchmaking, balancing premades across teams, or diminishing the oppressive effects of synched burst, that's for them to figure out.

Meanwhile, I think premades have a responsibility to approach the mode appropriately. Specifically, recognize this is a team mode, not a light party mode, and do everything they can to help their team win. This should be obvious, but many premades take a different approach. As such, they're violating the spirit of the mode in the same way AFKers are.

I thank you, Mr. Brand, for bring fresh meat new players into the mode. It pressures SQEX to give FL more love, and helps maintain a healthy population.
