I've no problems unlocking dungeons that will likely house the ilvl80 gear pieces I'll want. But I'll be on Paladin, not Dragoon. It may not seem the wisest course in the short run, but in the long run I'll be far happier having the PvP and PvE focuses on separate characters.

At this point it seems my charted course is to Get Relic/Unlock Dungeons, Push PvP to get an ilvl70 PVP set use the iLvl70 set to go into ilvl70 dungeons (dropping ilvl 80 gear) Gear up based on what is available there and what's available through PvP. Ultimate goal however is the high-end PvP sets, cause reasons.

Wow the new Frontlines updates look amazing...

I'm looking forward to it

A new PvP instance!!!

new pvp objective? Teleporters, special monsters that grant special bonuses, combo bonuses for consecutive kills? PvP specific limit breaks for every character? *Drools*

Finally some info!

So its 8v8v8 or 24v24v24 3 team Deathmatch?

Did they forget the healers, again ? The killing spree feature is only for DPS, like the new achievements.

Yay, new frontlines! Yay, still sync to 80!

Really. What's the use? We got great PvP gear but we can't seem to use it for proper fights.

Would it be so hard to have a dedicated frontlines instance that require 100+ morale to enter so everyone could fight with decent gear with materias and actually enjoy the hard work they put into getting said gear?

Plus, that would probly be a better experience for those who actually want to PvP because they enjoy it, not to be forced to play with glamours farmers that don't give a sh*t about what they doing as long as they get the gear they want ?

I must say this is greatly disappointing imho.

Love the new Frontlines but dissapointed also in respect to Item Sync, Morale and PVP Gears in general not being recognized as it should be

Since the current Frontlines is being renamed to secured I'd have hope the changes were as such

Frontlines (Secure): Open to All, Item Sync to 80
Frontlines (Slaughter): Min Req: PVP Rank 25+, Either no Item Sync or Sync to 110 with PVP Materia being usable. Bonus Incentives for Solds/Potetics/Marks/EXP for wearing set amounts of PVP Gear.

As of current patch notes, the new Frontlines is just going to be what the current FL is and I'd imagine for the first few week, the Secure Version (CTF) will not have as many people qued as the new one.
