The Frontlines Premade issue has not been fixed.

Says who exactly? I don't know about you, but I have a great deal more than 3 other friends.



Right, so allowing 8-man groups throughout 2.x, 3.x, 4.x, and 5.0 wasn't a problem until right around when Garo was ending, then it became a problem? Big thonk.

As a 100% introverted INTJ even "I" can agree with this.
Because who the frick only has 3 friends to PVP with???

8 needs to be returned stat, dedicated PVP teams or "NOT"
And now the majority of those friends still login, but most of them just sort of BS around housing, and not playing, pissed and/or irritated because solo queing is simply not the same / feels kinda pointless. You go in to play WITH FRIENDS, not solo que to be on the same GC. *Waves at ppl from a distance you no longer are friends with thanks to SE*

The Aether/Crystal DC split was bad but it was fixable.

This? This is not. People are going to drop subs, and lots of them.
8 person groups has existed since 2.x like Atreus said.

Literally the stupidest move SE has done yet, even worse then the Blue Mage introduction.

If they go in and force free lancer 100% even for solo'ers thats just going to alienate the rest of the PVPers who WERE solo queing with friends of the same GC
The suggestion on OP is to kill an already dying feature in FF?. Um no. Forcing Free lancer for solo'ing too is not even remotely close to a good idea.
