The Frontlines Premade issue has not been fixed.

[A-res]

What competition is there in a premade completely stomping PUGs? I'm not advocating for Solo only or forced Freelancer. I only suggested that premades specifically be forced freelancer. I believe it'll make a healthier FL. It has nothing to do with makig things easier or harder. I play all the PvP modes and I win pretty often when I do play, but FL is the only one with this specific problem because of how the queue can be abused.

It's still one team vs. another team. One is organized than the other. Premades are already being forced free lancer, that is, ones that are partied up. Notice that this whole xx man Adder team was created AFTER 5.1 came out with it's 4 man premades. I rather premade with a GC with my friends on this patch because 4 man isn't enough to bring them all in. I want to stomp PUGs: see below.

Healthier FL? Organize a PvP event for that. At this point PvP is a joke - Feast has win trades, frontlines has bots. The real problem is the PUGs and the blame is on SE for that. If you want healthy PvP, organize a day or have individual rewards that reflect on individual performance. Too many PUGs don't give a s*** about PvP; THAT is the problem. Premades are created not only to play with friends, it's also to avoid having terrible teammates that "I'm gonna guard base! *is a healer*" "I'm here for tomes/exp/rewards/hairstyle/roulette." and again don't care about it. These are the people that deserved to be stomped. (You or I being in that said losing team is collateral damage.)

Blacklist does a good job of taking care of terrible loot and scooters so it should also implement where blacklisted players shouldn't be in my team. Blacklisting bad PUGs doesn't do anything but mute them. Why should I care about healthy PvP in a non-organized queue with my team being PUGs that don't care?

They all sit in VC and gloat about how they stomp PUGs. It's not about being better players. Even they admit there are better ones that aren't in their group. It's about having one GC stacked and the other just being loose PUGs by abusing the queue system. But to give them credit, some are actually trying to od the same for other GCs But on Aether it's pretty much only ingrained on Adders.

I am in a premade that also voice in discord. Don't pile everyone that together to these guys. We premade to have fun and if we end up stomping PUGs, well, we stomp them; their fault for having a difference in skill. Not everybody in premades gloat stomping PUGs, blame the person who's gloating and not premades.
