Protesting Frontlines

[Pibz]

to add variety.
you might have forgotten that they have access to more information than you. statistics on GC preferences, activity with seal accumulation and what not. If they have the data on the average stats and completion rate of those attempting coil1/2, prettry sure they have a more informed perspective on how to introduce something like Frontlines.
XI had a similar thing with their PvP. City-states determined your team and each team played for control of a zone.

TL;DR - dev understand of the game > your understanding

What does this have to do with perspective?!
And variety? It's the exact opposite, it'll restrict people into not being able to play with whoever they want, and it may cause who knows how many unnecessary hurdles to the system, and for what?!
There's 0 to be gained from it vs unrestricted team building, it's just *possible* losses all over for everyone. It has nothing to do with population distribution, although that could play a factor in worsening certain factions queues, again for no reason.
You should never gimp a PvP system unnecessarily because it's more immersive for roleplayers or whatever.
Also, do you really see the devs as some kind of infallible gods? oO
