The absolute state of Frontlines

[Naphtha]

Imagine balancing the entire of pvp around 5v5 when 24v24v24 exists. How something like that even happened is baffling to me. The longer you think about it, the less sense it makes.

Most MMOs do this in an attempt to appeal to hardcore PvPers and try to establish a 'competitive PvP' scene. WoW is a pretty popular example with how it is balanced around Arena with BGs suffering for it, same as what is happening here.

Honestly, they should just follow in GW2's example and balance each mode separately, Conquest and WvW (World vs World) adjust your skills as you enter, so if something is underperforming in Conquest but overperforming in WvW, it gets ironed out to be a bit more manageable, not saying GW2's balancing is perfect, but it's definitely better than what we currently have.

Then again, the devs mentioned separate balancing or something of the sort in one of the last patch notes, it could be a sign of good things to come, but who knows.

Additional point: I think the current balancing could work if they returned Frontlines to 8v8v8, but I can't really be sure.
