Protesting Frontlines

[Akiza]

Frankly, they should have just done what they did with the arena.

LV 30/40 Frontlines: Morale does not apply
LV 50 Frontlines: Morale does apply

Satisfies both the casual and hardcore contingent. Casuals can work their way up to the hardcore gear in a meaningful way (i.e. not just getting gibbed constantly by i90+ PVP players) through 30/40 runs.

That wouldn't work because casuals wouldn't even try Frontlines and since Square Enix wants as many players as possible to play Frontlines they removed the morale stats to entice the casuals to play.
