If people are willing to Q sync together, why are people not willing to Q sync against each other?

So, let's not twist it. We know the majority goal is to use a loophole, have 90% win rates and eat people for dinner. This was not a necessity to people when 8 man premades were possible. Yes, they dominated but not to that level. I could join in on the fun of doing that too...but its pretty grey area and not healthy for PvP overall. Bring back 8 man premades or yeah just rework grand company system perhaps to all freelancers. 4 Man premades is not the best situation, but it's not totally "omg I can't play with friends"
When they release a FFXIV Battle Royale mode, I'll play it. But Frontlines is not that, almost all games coming out today allow you to pick your preferred side/team/faction/race so your other game argument is invalid. The only reason people are complaining is because the people that are choosing to play with each other are skilled, if they were losing no one would be complaining, maybe not even know they are queued together lol. It's rather silly that in a casual pvp mode, people should be split up because teaming up is unfair, if its casual, its about fun, and playing with friends is fun. If it was about competition, which since it is casual pvp as you have said before, no one should be thinking about competition of players, its supposed to be relaxed, and chill which is exactly what spending time with friends is, if I wanted to test my skill/competition to other players in pvp in a fair setting, I would queue ranked feast, where people are matched based off their rating to create fair teams.
