    Bring back Frontline/feast

    Dear Square Enix,

    First of all, excuse my english, I speak french.

    Frontline is unplayable, It has been unplayable since 6.1 launch. We are now on month 10 of this new PvP and the game is still completely unplayable.

    Frontline was queued every single 5 minute on every NA server ( Cant speak for other server ) Frontline was the closer FFXIV has got to have a balanced, challenging and fun PvP mode and in 6.1 you decided to take it from us.

    I think frontline should be reverted to what it was pre 6.1 and feast should also be brought back for people who loved it, you could keep the new skillset you came up with for this new mode where btw people are already win trading.

    Why not think of every single pvp player that actually enjoyed and kept this side of the game alive instead of trying to catter to people who do not care whatsoever about PvP, why alienate the whole PvP community.

    Players have played for years trying to perfect they're playstyle and become good at the classes they we're playing, people we're queing all day and there was multiple community built around Frontline/feast.

    After being subbed to this game for over 10 years now and seeing pvp being destroyed and rebuilt over and over and over I cannot believe that you decided to put down the only PvP mode that was actually fun to play/Balanced/Skill based.

    The game is a joke, So dissapointing

    EDIT: Why is CC wasnt just simply added as a game mode and everything else kept the way it was ? Please do something squeenix I believe in you.

    I don't see much difference in the mess that FLs was before and what it is now tbh. It's still a huge mess, no matter what kind of class balance there is. It has never been balanced and I do think you're delusional if you think it was. It has always been balanced around the pvp arena modes, which is feast and CC now. Not around FLs.

    I think FLs should be reverted to its older 8v8v8 mode (with the proper melee innate resists adjustments, not the current crazy mitigation designed to sustain 72 players on the field), but that would also bring up a lot more skill gaps between teams that are for now completely drowned under the sheer number of players, without opening the can of worms that 4 man premades would be in such a mode.

    As a pvp afficionado, I can safely say that with the new pvp I'm not having more nor less fun than I used to have in the old FLs. It's an okay mode for me, but the thing I know for sure is that the pvp rebalance brought so much more flavor and design to each job that I wouldn't go back for anything. They just need time to rework FLs like they did for CC.

    However, I definitely feel sorry for players that preferred older models, because yes I can relate with some changes that happened in pve. It's never fun when the devs remove something you grew attached to, even if you were in a minority.
