If things goes completely solo I'm going to be expecting more of that behavior. Like it or not frontlines is not meant to be serious hence you see certain people testing the waters, afking being one of them. Some want natural chaos, and I'm pretty certain we're a few patches away from that.

However, I'm forced to ask this question every time I hear this. If frontlines is not meant to be taken serious, and it's not recommended to try hard with the deck naturally stacked against you, why does premading matter to begin with? Why does fairness matter to begin with? What's the whole point of adjusting the rules and layout of the old maps? With that question in mind we may as well just leave the tome set up as is. It doesn't matter for frontlines.

I think I'll sit back and watch the changes to see where things go. I don't feel like adapting right now. It's too much work just trying not to become another farmer.
