Down with gc restrictions!!!

There's been a lot of chatter about Pre-made groups que dodging and leaving entire alliances empty.

This is honestly not that big of an issue. Even when a match starts with people missing, it usually fills up before the staging period even ends. The absolute worst case scenario I've seen was starting a match where each party only had like 3 people in it, and even then we were full up by the time the first Tomeiliths went down. Having less players at the start did hurt us, but it only made about a 50 point difference.

As far as GC restrictions go, I would like them to stay in Frontlines, for the reasons already mentioned. However, I would very much like the next PVP mode to be GC-free.

Worst I've seen took about a quarter of the match to fill up, but that was only one time. I have no idea why it was so slow that day. Having a missing alliance is probably the only time people are actually happy about that 2 minute staging period.

I don't find the Alliance fill up to be an issue as it is now, but it could potentially become an issue if everyone is running in premades. I only thought of this because I've seen the same thing happen in PvE with 8 man parties. There have been times where I can solo que for an instant 8 man duty, but, if I try to que with a couple of dps, the que takes longer because the DF is busting blood vessels trying to do the math on how many spots it needs to fill. It usually sorts itself out in a short enough amount of time, but it might be annoying if constant Pre-mades are taking over all the que spots and leaving the solo quers out to dry. Though, this is more a problem with the DF being run by a half dead pixie with ADD then a strictly PvP issue...
