Role enforcement in Frontline: Would it help?

[Buff_Archer]

I've got 16 wins to go for my ADS mount and right now I'm feeling a lot of resentment, towards either the playerbase in my GC, towards SE for creating a situation where I don't have a fair chance, or maybe both. If I wanted to farm easy Soldiery & Poetics tomes, PVP exp and Wolfmarks I could just queue Slaughter and come in second place over and over which is what my GC has been doing today, with or without me. But I need first place wins, in a situation where the deck is stacked heavily against me. Is this SE's idea of fair that people in one GC on each dataserver can farm rewards at the expensive of the other two GC's, based not on the strength of their premade teams- which would be 100% fair (and which could still queue together regardless of GC restriction)- but based primarily on the collective advantage of their GC over the weakness of the rest? How is this fair to the players that are much more capable than the average for their GC?

I just wasted 45 min queued for a secure mode queue that didn't pop, and a hell of a lot more time than that overall trying to overcome this unbalanced crap, screw this I'm done.

No, it wouldn't. We had 3 healers pop for frontlines, along with 3 tanks. Because 2 tanks would not switch the healers all swapped to dps, unless you remove that function (best function of frontlines) the problem will still exist.
Im currently leveling whm purely for frontlines, so i can heal if needed.
Remove GC restriction problem solved

I would be open to a class stacking debuff/buff system. It seems a quick solution since they are pretty against/silent about GC restrictions.

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.

This afternoon/evening I haven't gotten a single queue, how much is it I wonder because people capped tomes for the week and aren't interested in PVP anymore beyond that purpose.

Edit: Tank/Heal roles are my least enjoyed PvP classes, but if I could see queue status and know that by rolling Healer or Tank would get in into a match quickly, I'd eagerly switch.

I wouldn't be so eager to sacrifice freedom to switch classes mid game. Allows me to queue on the job a want for diffrent things at the same time, then adjust inside. I prefer playing DRG in pvp, but regularly switch to healer if we are missing some. I do not see how reducing the pool of players that can fit in a slot somehow improves queues time (see all the DF/PF waiting endlessly for healer/tank slot to fill).

Within the curent system, the best they can do is incentivise people who will voluntarily, like you and I switch roles to accomodate the team.

snip.

I would, even if Adders were still losing terribly I wouldnt change GCs. I new before the game even released that Twin Adders was where I wanted to be. Maelstrom has lost almost every match I have queued in but recently they have gotten a lot better. It's not about going to the winning side imo, it's about doing the best you can by your GC regardless.
