    Paladin Cover Exploit - something needs to be done!

    First up an explanation for everyone who isn't aware of whats going on lately in Frontlines

    Paladins have the option to Cover people and making them immune to every way of being interrupted while still being able to interact with hotspots.
    This means that in Frontlines like Osnal Hakkair two premade people can win an entire match on their own while the rest just stands there and just has to take it.

    Imagine it like this:
    There is a big fight over a flag, Team Yellow with 15 people against Team Red with 20 people, Team Blue comes in with a Paladin and a random other player, the Paladin simply uses all of his cooldowns including Guard, Covers the other random blue player and they can simply take the flag before anyone can really realize or even do something about it, since the duration of Cover is way more than enough to get the job done.

    Sure, you can now say that Monk for example might have a way to counter this play, but lets be real here. Until the Monk even notices whats going on, the time to counter the play is already over.

    This gameplay exploit gives way to much of an advantage by almost no risk involved at all. Some might call it "clever use of gameplay mechanics".. you will call it that until you lose 7 matches in a row to that crap.

    Something needs to be done about this, change Cover that you cant interact with hotspots while being covered, there is no need to be able to do this in the first place.

    Some people might now complain that i spread the knowledge about this even more, but thats exactly what i want, more people to complain about it, spread the awareness that Square Enix starts to notice the issue and does something about it
