Remove 3rd place from Frontline

The more you guys start spewing bad ideas and stripping the mode to just 1v1 teams.

How about just say what you mean, just get rid if pvp. Then nobody can win nor lose. Or better yet lets just get rid of FFXIV entirely. Nobody can win or lose if theres no game to play lol

Maybe they just shouldn't play what they don't like?

Hell no, the most fun match I had this month was one I came in third place. There are some dynamic that 1v1 doesn't have.

The team I was on got camped hard by Red team that have a couple DK/DRG/AST/SMN team that just go around and wiping everyone. The point gap was ~600 and it felt like the team was falling apart. Then someone made a rally cry: I don't care about wining anymore, but Red must die. And the whole alliance answered. We rolled hard into Red without a care, and tried to make they lose most of their contest against the other team. At the end we barely helped the other team edge them out, and a lot of celebrate as if we won even though we were first.


No doubt the hardcore PvP gonna say that's loser mentality, but IDGAF. I play hard (most of the match I usually have BH4 or 5, and on average die maybe once or twice at most), but I also play for fun. While admittedly there are the occasional frustration, the current frontline is the duty I play the second most only after savage raid because of the majority of the time I enjoy it a lot.

Edit: oh yeah, forgot to mention. The one who made the rallying cry ... was me.

The only thing I'm going to agree is to reduce the number of players participating ;; 72 players is just too much. I don't know what's the magic number though.

This is quite possibly one of the most beautiful FL anecdote I've read.

Indeed, I think this is the beauty of 1 vs 1 vs 1. There's always the outside force that's ready to ride the momentum, or shift the tide of battle. It's not fun to be in your team's position and denied of any way out of that, people would just throw the game even harder to end the game faster. I had several similar occasion like your story and hot damn, ain't they are one of the most satisfying FL moments. Few times we ended up winning but that was probably quite far from what we first expected since we just wanted to make X team pay for their earlier roflstomping.
