I've never done Frontlines because of these queue times, I don't have the time to waste waiting to try something when there is lots of other duty finder stuff I could be queuing for. I remember back in FFXI when they had Ballista, it was "Grand company" restricted where there would be a battle between 2 of the 3 main cities, and anyone from the third would be auto sorted into both to balance the teams numbers out, if there was an imbalance of too many on one side it would shuffle a few over to make the numbers even, why can't they do that here, just shuffle some of the Maelstrom to the Flames after 10 minutes and start the battle instead of waiting over 2 hours for your turn to come around.
