The Frontlines Premade issue has not been fixed.

This is such an idiotic sentiment. Not letting people form parties in a team based mode within an MMO isn't solving any problem, it's creating one.
There was no problem to begin with, premades were never a problem that needed to be dealt with.

If you want to solo queue and not socialize, that's your prerogative. Doesn't mean everyone else has to.

You can still form small 4 man teams. That's perfectly adequate enough to play with a few friends.

Moving mass players to 1 GC and 1-2-3 sync queuing solo to stack win ratio's in ones favour and rofl stomp pug groups is douche baggery no matter how you try to sugar coat it.

SE clearly thought the 8 man's were a problem, so they took steps to prevent it. Players now want to circumvent that so that leaves the last option - enforce freelancer at all times.
