Frontlines is dead. Its a honeypot for bots now. But, its bleeding into other modes too (Lately, in leveling roulette for example). I think once that gets bad enough + starts really impacting the mainstream playerbase SE might actually do something. I hope, at least xD In the past botters mostly restricted themselves to solo activities, Im assuming because they figured the risk of being reported+banned was much lower if they werent really bothering anyone. By now though, they've realized that reports do nothing and there no enforcement whatsoever when it comes to bots. Seems like their programs are getting more sophisticated, too.

And there's literally nothing SE can do to make frontlines "more of a thing" when you're lucky if you get 2 other human players on your team (and thats absolutely not an exaggeration. If anything I'm being conservative in that number).
