Title. I've lost so many Frontline matches just because I happened to queue in to an alliance that didn't have a pre-made party. They're easy to spot. If you see a group of 6 - 8 players, all with battle high V, you've run into a pre-made party and there's nothing you can do about it except hope the match ends soon so you can try again afterwards.

It's depressing.

I just don't understand. You can't queue into Crystalline Conflict matches while you're in a party, so why don't the same rules apply to Frontline? The same consequences apply in both game modes.

Some might argue to not take Frontline so seriously since it's just chaos and most people just queue in for tomes or exp. The only problem with that logic is that there are several mounts locked behind wins. None for participation, only wins.

Some might also argue to not be a bad loser and to take losses in stride. This is a little more fair, but you'd think that Square Enix would recognize that Frontline is by far the worst-designed thing in the game and soften the blow of unfair match-making by making the mount rewards participation-only.

I dunno. Maybe I'm just heated because I'm making this thread immediately after a Frontline roulette, but I'll let y'all be the judge.
