But I do actually miss when you queued up for FL back then, you could very well end up in a 8v8v8 because the queue wouldn't find enough players for a full 72 players game. I'd like that back, and with the caveat that if you're queued with a party above a duo, the system would just not put you into a 8v8v8. Also, since according to SE a lot more people play FL now and that's the reason they removed 8v8v8 in the first place, well, perhaps it needs another metric than just "cannot fill up a full 72 players game"... Maybe something like a preference you could set up in options, either 24 players or 72 players and it would increase your chances to get into one or the other?
Unfortunately, the SE philosophy seems to be "if queue times are short, the mode is a success." Anyone who actually plays FL recognizes how badly off this philosophy is.
