Frontlines: Leechers and Feeders

[Mecia]

Its impressive how much mogtomes bring the quality of FL matches down, even if the bar is low without. Someone needs to ask them to play western FL in one of those media events.

it is the same on the other teams?!?

Make it easier to report as well as to kick people so you can kick in combat and before 5 minutes has passed, make it serious voting system, so if abused, just because don't like someone you will get punished... and to those that try to leach too much... will be flagged so can't do Front lines and PvP for a month including Alliance raid and MSQ Roulette.

Make the Vote thing so it blocks the screen so you are enforced to click it to go away as well and or if refuse to vote and let it stay there... it will automatically vote yes after 20 seconds.

5 Seconds AFK at start without moving out of the start area results in auto kick from duty.

do any of that and games will be dead or lopsided teams. Vote systems are abused, try playing chivarly or mordhau and run into someone who doesnt like you. Instant nonstop vote kick til youre gone.

The current system of rewarding exp, series, and tomes at the end of a match because one clicked 'commence' on the duty pop without taking their performance into consideration is being abused by players who refuse to participate.

These players often try to mask the fact they're not participating by constantly throwing themselves at enemy players, because it makes it more difficult to spot them vs someone standing in one spot on the map the entire match.

Once the game ends, it doesn't matter that the scoreboard shows them having thrown the match because they have already received their rewards, and are off to do it again with a new group of people in a new match.

Even when you do end up noticing one of these players, pointing them out is quickly met with hostility, and other alliance members trying to defend them. "It's just Frontlines" and "I'm only here for the exp" constantly being used as if to excuse their behavior.

It has been way past due to fix the broken system that allows such lethargic and poor behavior. Relying on players to send nearly a full-party worth of player reports after every match isn't a functional system.



This picture was from 5 matches. A vast majority of these players had multiple 100s (not sprouts).

the issue is the average ff14 player demands they get rewards for doing little to nothing.
To them running the daily once and just feeding as fast as possible gets them the rewards they want. I personally dont think you sgould get anything if you place 3rd.

Here's a quick tip to those queuing into FL with absolutely no intention of actually playing the mode: Do not queue in as DRK. People will tend to follow you around and quickly notice you're sitting on your mount hiding behind a rock.

And to everyone else, I strongly encourage you to report this BS. It's getting completely out of hand.

I sympathize, but just for a moment it was actually hilarious to imagine someone getting caught out by that, I just had an image of someone thinking they're being so smart, then looking over their shoulder to see at least a party hiding behind the same rock.

There was certainly a comedic element, particularly given our only two DRKs were both doing this. And had they been better at hiding and not died 16 times between them we would have won a close match.
