Disruptive Frontline Gameplay

[Scintilla]

I don't know whether this stems from people who detest the actual mode (3 alliance) , who haven't had a lot of experience with larger scale random alliances, or find it really different from their prior experience and don't like it.

I presume you aren't referring to those of us who are making points against premades because, if you were, I'm not sure where you draw this conclusion from at all?

Personally, I like the 3-alliance structure and would be rather sad to see it go. It has it's flaws, not least as it can be baffling to try to understand the logic of the third team in some games, but I still very, very much prefer it to a regular 2 alliance game.
I wouldn't say the second point applies to me either: I much prefer PvP to any other aspect of this game and, aside from a few daily roulettes, practically all of my online time is spent in playing FLs across my 3 alts (CC too, but to a somewhat lesser extent. As I said, I like the larger scale, 1v1v1 setup of FL more). 3-a-day are purely my alts FL dailies; I play extra to that even after those are completed.
And, finally, in the past I have played PvP heavily in other games before FFXIV and I much prefer the system here. In one in particular, PvP was extremely toxic and flaws in the system were heavily abused by players wherever possible. There, flaws were even greater and more numerous than those here, hence I was very pleasantly surprised when beginning here at how much different it was. However, while better than other games, this system still has issues and we want to highlight these issues in the hope that it results in some kind of resolution or improvement being found. It won't be easy or straightforward, but it's still immensely better than simply ignoring the situation.

this isn't the first game where I've seen this in a non-competitive mode, it was used in a PvP/PvE game and players here would have found it even worse because a whole pre-made team (6 people) could be matched against a full pug OR a pre-made. Were pre-mades hard to form there? Not at all, yet some people solo-queued anyways - and yes, the premades would usually win.

Purely because the situation might be worse in a completely different game, it still doesn't mean that the problems here are non-existent. Okay, so there's another worse-off game (there'll be many out there), how does that mean that this game requires no improvement whatsoever? Do only the very worst games in history need improving because the rest are "well, they're worse than us, so our problems can be ignored"?

It sounds almost like you're suggesting that because a different game is currently in a much worse situation, that means that all issues and reports of problems in this game are invalid
