    I agree. I'm a PvPer, not an ice beater. And when I lead people to fight, some people will complain. Some other leaders will lead a bunch of people to travel on the hills like a group of ice caravans. It's the worst FL mode ever made.

    I've lost a lot of matches because my group can't figure out that attacking the ice is important. Yes, killing people is fun. But, you know what else is fun? Winning.

    Sometimes, focusing on ices can cost you the match as well.

    Destroy ice when it's okay to destroy ice.

    If Flames have 1,530/1,600, Maelstrom has 820/1,600 and you guys have 1,250/1,600, its common sense to just attack the Flames. It's your only chance.

    Most people like to huddle up at the A point or camp the base or something.. Or afraid to attack.



    Although I happen to like Shatter more than Seize. Alot more. At least in Shatter the fate of your win is in your hands. But when 3 A ranks spawn in the caves(enemy base) in Seize.. yeah. It's over.

    Let's not talk about the triple S rank...

    You do know that is best scenario for you not for those that have 3 A's next to their spawn. Seize is balanced around pushing and defending so if you dont get tome near your base then you simply go and take enemys tome by force. It doesnt matter if its 24man or 72man one GC simply cannot defend 3 objectives at the sametime against 24/48 peoples, maybe just maybe if they are full premade.

    I haven't run into people like that yet surprisingly even though I completely ignore ice now as a Dragoon for the most part lol. Have not had anyone threaten to or initiate a vote to kick me nor even mention my tendency to ignore ice objectives at all in the party. But that might be because I'm freelancer now which pretty much automatically aligns me with Flames every match who are pretty well known for not caring about trying to win at all anyway. Before freelancer as a Maelstrom I actually would prioritize ice and winning over kills but as Flames the GC is so bad we arent gonna win anyway so may as well try and get some kills out of it.

    When you are caught in a battle on the beach and 3 A's spawn in the caves, there is zero chance of you winning.

    I'm talking about a really close match. Flames at 600/800. 3 A's spawn in the caves(instead of.. anywhere else).

    Just 8 people can prevent the taking of a base. Just be defensive instead of offensive.

    Well that scenario should be pretty rare and its possible to counter that by spreading while old tomes have still 20% left or so and go for pre-cap. Seize would be pretty bad if it didnt have that RNG element so its good that its there even if you sometimes lose due RNG.
