    Frontlines Should have a Multi Class Restriction.

    I know there's quite a few Forum posts about the Frontlines queue and such but this is another issue ive noticed quite a few times and its basically down to the factor of how the queue is analysed.

    Its basically done by players queueing as anything and then threw into a group in occuptation of their Grand Company, this is all fine until you get people who can only run one class? so this puts a whole alliance at a jeopardy, 5 tanks doesn't work too well if your group is B which is a heavily offensive group, same with too many DPS for another which requires balance to withstand against the other bombardments.

    im proposing a minimal of two classes at lv50 and ilvl 80 (which isnt any form of hard work i mean cmon. Dailies, Leves, Fates, Fc buffs etc) as a Disciple of War / Disciple of Magic of each or some other like a specific role restriction.

    They won't change the iLv restriction or level restriction. They can't change party make-up due to mobs / Enemy NPCs being on the field that have been tested to work only with that specific make-up.

    So you're suggesting to restrict FL so that fewer people can participate? They're not going to do that.

    Perhaps they could try to balance the content of each team based on a player's queued class (so if 6 people queue as healers, you would get 3 on each team instead of, say, 4 on A, 2 on B and none on C).

    If you have a competent group that is looking to win (or at least come in second) they would willingly switch. I get queues all the time with 4 tanks, no healers, all dps, etc. Luckily, the majority of the time, we get people to switch so we have 2-3 healers, one tank (maybe two) and the rest dps.

    In my experience it seems like the queue really hates when you queue as a small group or full group. When I solo queue it pops in like 5 minutes, but anytime I've queued as a group it has taken WAY longer.

    Plus queing solo means you can queue "in progress" which always makes it go faster.

    That's very true. Plus, the fact you cannot go in progress in a group.
