Frontline Bots

[Snow_Princess]

I'm perfectly fine with them removing all XP from it. I'm only there for the mounts and cosmetic gear.
And at ~20% win rate and matches dragging on as long as they do, it's getting tiresome.If getting rid of the bots keeps them off my team and lets me progress faster, great, get rid of them. But if we could just make sure they're all on the opponents' teams until I'm done with the grind, I'd be down with that as well. >_>

Queues will go back to 1-3 hours, did you know the queue wait timer has a cap? its 999 minutes, and 99 seconds. I left my computer on as I slept and woke still in it. Reason I did that is because back then all I did was craft anyway, so I did not care. I belive I did woke before it capped, I think the total queue time was about 17-18 hrs, it popped shortly after capping (about 1 hr)

Kinda shocked more bots don't show up in deep, but then again being a bot in 4 people is easier to notice I suppose.

That's what I do. I don't enjoy PvP. SE could offer me 500 octodecillion gil, a large house in every district, everything instantly levelled to 70, in max Savage gear, all crafts unlocked, and all gatherers, all set to 100% HQ rate for gathers, and crafts are guaranteed HQ, and I have the stats to craft everything, with all books unlocked, in exchange for playing 1 PvP game, and I wouldn't do it. You can't bribe me into doing something I absolutely detest. The friends that tried to drag me into PvP very almost got blacklisted in game for it.

I am wondering if people are truly honest when they say something like this. For me, I do stuff I do not want to because of some means to an end. Personal example is feast. I hate the fact there is no chat, no social interaction, hate the fact I can't ask someone change to healer and /or tank when the set ups are like 7 dps and me healer. I hate seeing "good job" spam just because they died and I can't heal someone going 1 v 7, but I do feast when it is a wt sticker, a fast means to an end. Even though frontlines is slower I would do that for a WT sticker and prefer to do so over feast despite taking longer cuz I can at least talk to people and they can talk back. I would also not be running expert/ delta normal (and I really do not need to run delta normals) if it had no means to an end unless it is out to help a friend for something they want.

No it won't - well, unless you are Maelstrom and refuse to use the Merc feature but that is on you. Plenty of people do Frontlines for Tomestones...heck, that is the only reason I do it not worth the pain for the 33% chance to get acceptable amounts of XP.

Have you tried frontlines before gero/adding exp? it will, because there is faster means for tomestones etc and they had that daily bonus back before gero/exp when it was 1-3 hours. I used to do them, or tried to, sometimes I could not do it every day.

If you take out exp gain now, it will revert to what it was like before gero. (since I am sure anyone that has an interest in that gear/mounts have them now) so the only reason to go do them is bot exp and due the daily for tomestones because the queue is fast since people bot exp. No reason to think it wouldn't revert to how it used to be if the dropped exp gain. The only reason that roulette got better queue times was gero, then we get exp on top of it.

On my data center, since gero , I rarely seen 24 man frontlines. I saw them here and there if I did a morning queue + nearing the end of HW but when they added the exp gain (sb?) it went back to 72 man 24/7
