I'm referring to PvP, y'know, where people actually compete with each other directly. PvP has very little players as is, do you really want to make the "casuals" who play every so and so to quit because they get destroyed the moment they step into a Frontlines match? That already happens anyway, how? Because the skill difference between a newbie and an experienced player is incredibly large. If it weren't up to skill, then the players would get frustrated and never participate again. Remember how bad Frontlines queues were during 2.55? I remember never getting less than 30 minutes, and it frequently reaching 60-100+ minutes. That sure was fun.

Frontlines is a casual mode, if you want PvP gear to be useful you'll have to wait until they introduce Wolves' den 2 in 3.1.
