end of 24pl frontline

[Esmoire]

I don't understand this. Do they think 24 player is driving people away? Even people that prefer 72 understand the importance of 24. Are there people who aren't playing because of the chance of getting a 24? If there is such a person maybe add a "wait for 72 player" option, and let those sit forever in the middle of the night. As said, with Garo and the current moogle tomestones ending, and this, there will be a huge drop in participation when 5.1 goes live, especially in off hours. I assume there will be another moogle event eventually.

I am one such person who does not like 24 player frontlines, and I'd imagine the people I see duck or leave are likewise. I imagine a lot of people actually don't want to even try queueing at bad hours since yeah as even someone who loves PvP I actually rather not have had that at all. The maps are not at all designed for 24 players and the objectives are only sometimes properly adjusted. Like, for example, right now they might lower the point count needed, yet still have ice take forever to kill which feels awful.

A cost-effective solution would be to take the assets they have and create smaller maps with the with properly adjusted objectives and proper modifiers. Maybe if they did that 24 player FL wouldn't feel as awful but as it stands, it is not my ideal FL experience and I wouldn't blame someone for missing 72 player FL as it was intended because they didn't want to risk it. A lot of us love the chaos and unfairness and volatility of the real thing and if we wanted a more fair and organized experience we would play The Feast.

Of course having a smaller scale option is nice for the graveyard hours, though I would rather that experience be properly adjusted. Better yet, fix RW and use that when there are less players. As it stands, I would love if the game told me this would happen so I could have just queued for The Feast instead, something much better tailored to smaller numbers.
