Frontlines are completely dead except at peak times

100% dead, I play on Crystal, I haven't gotten a game all week now. Even at roulette reset time, I at least used to get one or two then, nothing now. I've pretty much given up on PvP totally. Last week I said two matches total... this week I've played a grand total of... brace yourselves.... zero.

The only time I get PvP on Crystal is around 7 or 8pm-10pm EST. I was in the queue for 2 and 1/2 hours for the roulette yesteday and no pop. It gave me a chance to finish farming crystals and shards, but it was extremely frustrating. I work overnights so I'm usually asleep during peak times unless it's my night off.

People maxed out wolf marks for moogle tomes, bought everything, no reason to touch any pvp. New mode, new rewards, fresh wave of players. XIV is a real zeitgeist type of game. Remember BLU launch? And how it looks now? Remember day 1 of a new Eureka... and how it is now? There's never gonna be an absolutely perfect treatment for niche content at all times.

People too busy RPing.

Welcome to the entire rest of the game. It's pretty standard that most online stuff struggles during late night/early morning. Get used to it. Being able to play PvP at those times isn't the norm for anything else.

It was possible to get games at those hours with 8v8v8. So what is your point?

They should cut wolf marks earning in half and give some relevant 440 - 470 ilvl items (equipment, weapons, accessory, crafting items etc) into for reasonably high price also change the cap to 100k so they could put any price they want on items. Otherwise i dont see pvp being alive anytime soon or ever, this game mode needs a meaty rewards to go for, they could make it grindy so it wont outshine the pve rewards.
I could see people playing it often once they finish pve content of for a week.

But Frontlines had no problems before they decided to remove 24 player pops completely. Its like everyone misses the point why people complain. We had a completely working queue system before they completely changed it for the worse.

I would rather there is no reward so they can see the real pupil action and gives us 24 men back for some real decent games.

Players playing for rewards are not type of crowd I would like to see in PvP; usually refuse to learn to improve and complains a lot.

They also just turn a competitive match into mindless zerging

FL is fine there's nothing wrong with it, this is a huge over-reaction.

You had them when moogle tomes were available was it that bad? I would like queue times a ton shorter, the 8v8v8 mode will not solve it completely.
