    We need changes in Frontline

    I was in the last 2 month in 540 Campaigns and in every single one was 1-3 Players doing nothing.
    They are Sitting in the Base, running around and leech their way to Level 90. The Rewards for every single Campaign is 100.000-870.000 Exp, depends on their Level, 500-1250 Wolf Marks, Tomestones, Rewards that can be bought with Wolf Marks and Trophy Crystals, Mounts for Achievements and all that for doing nothing.
    If you say in Alliance that Team A / B or C has someone afk in it, you get only answers like "chill" "you don't pay their sub", "snitch" and many other nice things. I see no point in fighting for those leechers and giving them free Rewards.
    We need changes, like remove Exp from Frontlines or give us a Report Button for afk leechers. If you report someone who is afk and he / she don't move in the next 90 seconds, he / she gets kicked and get a 8-24 hour debuff, so that he / she can't enter again Frontline for the debuff time.

    Someone call the Forum Police! Because I wrote passive aggressively that DT looks not good. Oh how right I was!

    I honestly just started leaving matches when I see too many people in my team leech for their daily roulette. I'd rather take the 30 minute penalty and do something else than waste my time.

    Should this be a thing? No, but that has been the frontlines experience for like 3 expansions now so it's unlikely to change.

    Frontlines aren't really competitive so lose/win doesn't really matter Also there is a high chance same amount of people are AFK in other teams too so few players doing w/e doesn't really matter in a casual mode with 72 players. Also taking away the XP would seriously hurt the content because so many people only do PvP because of the daily XP bonus

    IF they are hell bend on giving EX am all in for only giving the winner XP.... since the pvp changes its even less fun, everything other then CC is a mess... and then you see 1/4 the ppl doing 0 dmg or not healing once...

    If you remove EXP from Frontline you may as well remove the gamemode entirely.

    Your argument that in Frontlines "winning or losing" doesn't matter is invalid, ranking up has little or nothing to do with enjoying whether someone wins or loses in PVP, just like someone who enters without the need for the exp bonus.

    I understand your point about if one person (for example) is AFK on one faction, the chances are that it applies toe each faction - however it could just as well happen that several people happen to be AFK in one faction, and none are AFK in another.

    In any case, it's demoralizing to many people to see someone AFK- which is likely why it is against the TOS, and why it does matter. No one says that someone who joins just for exp has to be very good, but there are expected to participate. It's also possible to see the logs in Frontline at the end of the match.

    What I really wish they did and which will never happen, is just make 1 Data center for PVP.

    So if you wanted to PVP you would just have to travel to that Data Center. That would solve so many queue pops problems and increase the player pool. Then you could remove the Frontlines XP and potentially have enough players queuing up.

    But nothing will happen because the games are pretty much always pretty decent on JP data centers, so we are stuck with the XP farmers.

    I'll take Frontlines seriously when SE does.

    I gave up reporting people a long time ago for afking. Too many people not caring these days. However, everyone will care if you take frontlines seriously and dogpile on you. So I hardly say anything, even if the team needs a leader. Frontlines roulette is just another pve roulette to me.

    Honestly, it has gotten increasingly difficult to just move forward instead of looking back. It's painful.

    What i would like to be done, is incentive the win vs (2nd/3rd place)..
    Like they are doing for the event tome: you get 5 if you win, 3 if you get second and 3 if you get third..

    this should apply also for exp, wolfmarks etcetera... So ppl would be more inclined to try to win instead of cheesing a second place. I can't count HOW MANY damn times ppl start shouting: "just go for second place, you get more stuff"
