Greetings everyone,

Thank you for your feedback.

The adjustments made in Patch 5.18 were put in place to improve randomization of party members in Frontline campaigns. Players are no longer assigned according to their Grand Company membership and are instead treated as freelancers. However, under certain conditions, when registering as a party there is currently a slightly higher chance of being grouped with other players who also registered as a party.

This issue is difficult to fully resolve with only the immediate measures taken in Patch 5.18 and requires fundamental changes to the matching system.

Because the matching system is comprised of highly complex processes, making changes to the core of the system requires fine tuning and a multitude of validation checks. As such, fundamental changes to the processes are currently scheduled for Patch 5.2.

A shuffling system is currently being developed for Patch 5.2, which will evenly distribute players into alliances regardless of whether they have registered solo or as a party.

We ask for your patience as we continue to work to address this issue for Patch 5.2.
