Role enforcement in Frontline: Would it help?

[Cidolfas86]

On the contrary I'd say the largest clamp on queue times is the ZERO enthusiasm for PVP now with all the one-sideness that's pushed everyone away from it except to cap tomes.

I hate to say it but I've nearly moved into this camp. I tried queing for Secure, but unless its during peak hours, and right after the weekly reset, you'll be waiting for 35+ mins for it to fill. The only time I do it now is for the roulette when I need it, and to complete the challenge log for rank. Once I reach max rank (Currently 41) I'll probably be doing it less than I do it now. It's a shame because I used to spend days at a time just queing for Wolves Den and Frontline, but not anymore.

I've pretty much given up on PvP in this game until I see some major changes. Slaughter is an unbalanced mess that's destroyed Frontline, and Wolves den is all but dead save for the 30 cap.

I wouldn't mind role enforcement, but with the current scheme of player separation via grand companies I don't think it'd work for certain grand companies. The immortal flames on Aether for instance wind up with 4+ tanks a lot of the time and under current system. You have to get rid of the GC restrictions for players to make this work, which is something I'd be very much for.

I think a conservative estimate is that Q times would double with role enforcement.

GC restrictions have to go. I shouldn't have to keep swapping GC's to find decent Q times. Removing the restriction might help the balance of roles because now the side heavy on healers will be divided equally. Assuming the DF logic references what class the player was in when they Q'd.
