Cut the ability to queue as a group in Frontline

So correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that the only people interested in breaking up the players, are the one's who want the rewards, mounts/titles/gear. Players who like pvp are obviously going to want to party together in a mode they enjoy over players who "just want to get it over with".

I think it's more nuanced than that. I play PvP/FL because I enjoy it, but would dislike playing in a premade. (For one thing, it tends to reduce everyone else to the role of NPCs, in which case I might as well be doing PvE.)

I've always been troubled by the presence of highly-coordinated premades that boast 70% win-rates, since with one such beast on the field the match result is heavily-skewed before it even begins, and the matches tend to be lopsided and dull.

Olivia and others have noted that those win-rates are only possible because many FL players are in the "let's get it over with" camp, thus provide no resistance (or actively help) the dominance of such premades.

One solution to this problem is to ban premades. I've been mostly persuaded this is undesirable, even though I don't personally understand why people would form one to shoot fish in a barrel.

Thus we're left with improving the quality of play in FL by reducing the rewards, or some form of matchmaking that siphons off the "don't care" brigade into their own pool where they can all hide behind rocks or whatever.
