Premades Don’t Break Frontline — They Broke the Illusion of the Horde Stampede

[Mawlzy]

The so-called "good old days" of Frontline primarily existed in Secure 24 men, before Square Enix added Daily Frontline into the roulette system.
Secure was once a battleground dominated by experienced, dedicated PvPers.
Casual and newer players tended to queue into Shatter, which was more accessible through the daily roulette.

Because of this split, you wouldn’t often see organized premades in Shatter, not because they didn’t exist, but because most of the skilled players and premade groups preferred Secure’s 24-man mode, where coordination and strategy mattered more.
That’s why I disagree with your claim that premades created the Horde Stampede playstyle.

Okay. As I said I don't know the history. I would argue, however, that premades (on Aether at least) perpetuate the horde stampede.

My apology
I was already in the middle of writing a post and didn’t see your reply until after I had finished.
