Please bring back 8v8v8 Frontlines

[Rita1989]

As it currently is after around 8-9pm PST it is impossible to get frontlines to queue due to not being able to get 72 people when prior to this you could always get it to queue with at least 24 people regardless of the time.

As someone who likes to PVP this change has made it almost impossible to do at least on a weekday anymore and not sure exactly why it was changed as it's not feasible to get 72 people during non peak hours.

It's just strange considering they added the 8v8v8 for this exact reason in the first place.

People complained about people making a full party, and stomping others in 8v8v8, which is why they changed it (whilst also making it that you can only have a party of 4).
It's pretty dumb, those who like playing PvP with friends, and those who play off peak hours are getting hit by the change, whilst premades are just queue-syncing, changing nothing.
I honestly feel like squeenix never knows what to do when it comes to PvP.

I really don't think they do, because a good chunk of the changes they make seems to just be at odds for what is both healthy for the mode and what the community actually wants. They got rid of 8v8 Feast a long time ago because it 'didn't prepare people for ranked Feast matches', even though it arguably was the most fun and popular way to play that mode. What they should have done was divide Feast into 8v8 and 4v4 Practice and Ranked, but that would have been too sensible especially since it would further gobble up their failed attempts at other modes.

Yeees please :c
It makes it much easier for me to do my frontlines later in the day as an Aussie.

They don't.. PvP is dog poo in this game. I used to be a mostly PvP player until this game. PvP is butt, it's so bad in this. I don't think SE will ever get it right.

Not only do I not really see this as a problem to begin with (why shouldn't the most coordinated group have an advantage? We don't ban static groups from running savage and force them to go with PUGs, do we?), this still could have been addressed in numerous better ways, such as by preventing 8 man premades from joining... which they already did. This forced 72-man change on top of that was just unnecessary.

It seems I can't even get into PvP anymore, for the most part. "30 minutes" estimated time all the time. When it said 10 minutes, and I queued I waited 24 minutes (I left the queue, didn't even get into one). This is a biproduct of PvP being butt, but also the 8v8v8 being gone. It's annoying. I can't even finish farming up wolf marks for some of the newest PvP glamour sets.

[Aramyth]

I don't know why they took away the 24 man games. I haven't been able to PvP at all since this change was made because there isn't enough interest in 72 man's during the time I play.

[Awha]

Please non prime time pvpers hardly get pops anymore.
