From what I understood from the Community rep's reply. They are not going to split you if you are in a 4 man party. What they are going to do is, if you are in a four man party and more parties join, all parties will be distributed evenly amonst all alliances, so that no team ends up having full premade parties only.
They responded to the fact that the current system has a tendency not to randomize premade groups. It tries to put them all on Maelstrom. You still get a max of 4 queing. But if you were so inclined with the current system and some coordination you could get more then 4 all onto Maelstrom.
If your problem is that less then 4 people can que together at once, which is legitimate. All you can do is spam a thread and live letter like the Japanese do. If they would build a better matchmaking system they would have no excuse not to let 8 mans back.
If being freelancer become permanent, achievements must be neutral or else I need have the luck of landing on a good team, plus the luck of landing on my GC side of the arena.
It goes three times harder to achieve <n> victories with my GC.
That is not how wins towards achievements work. The wins are tied to the GC you belong to not the GC you win with. But if you change GCs everything starts over for the new GC. The wins count separately for each GC. Again who you are matched with has ZERO impact towards your win count for achievements. This has never been an issue, ever. How wins are counted is one of the things they got right the first go around.
I am not sure I am 100% sure. I only freelance since it was added in HWs. The only thing that screws with the count is if you change GCs outside of PvP. So if you had 90 wins when you part of Maelstrom and the switched to Flames you have to get those 90 wins again and then it starts counting. If you switch back to Maelstrom you will still only have 90 wins no matter how many you had on Flames.
If you don't have the chat filter off you can easily see a random person getting achievements for other GCs when they win.
