I'm just going to throw this out there, if you're queuing for FW battles without at least 6 people, preferably more, then you are most certainly doing it wrong, and it's no wonder you hate it.

But let me tell you this, by solo or small group queuing for FW, you are not only ensuring you have a crappy time, but you are also making it boring for people who are looking for a real fight, only to find an enemy team full of randoms.

If you want to improve FW, it starts with you. Group up, queue sync, be real. We were rolling 12-16 deep all day yesterday, and were undefeated, even when we went 11 of us vs. 13 of .. well, I'll keep their identity secret for their sake, but we absolutely decimated them.

C'mon people. Bring your big boy pants. These aren't your average pub matches. If you're worried about your silly precious "rewards" or whatever, go play pub matches. CCP set FW up as a nice middleground, where, if you work at it, you can stack your team. The best way I can describe it is, "semi-public" matches. this is where you go to stack your team and try out your teamwork.

Not to onesy-twosie/AFK. Nothing wrong with playing that way, just not in Faction Warfare matches. Especially not if you actually expect to win :P

But hey, it's your sandbox just as much as it is anyone elses. Do whatever tickles your dangly bits. Just don't complain when you're being redlined so hard you end up dying to your redlines redline.

It's the morons who jump into the game and have no mic or voice in chat. It's nothing but a harder to get into public match, it's boring and the reddots are still awful. If you're going to play Faction Warfare, get a mic and get on comms you scrubs.

Sometimes I don't wish to squad up with the same people, I like going out and finding groups of people that use comms, I join up with a Squad and act on any suggestions my squadmates offer. It's not that I got stomped or anything, the reason I hated it was because nobody was on comms, it was exactly the same as a Instant Battle. I appreciate "you" might've enjoyed it because you were stomping everyone with your corp in a single team, but it's not a complaint about that, it's a complaint about the bare randoms that join a match and never use their mic. The other day I ended up fighting about 4 AVers in my Tank, asking for support, everyone had their Mics on yet people just walked on by leaving me to deal with it. In the end, eventually a Sniper (Who was on comms, not talking) rushed past my tank with a SMG and helped me, but all these useless bluedots that we in proto suits just ran past oblivious to everything and not taking an interest. The Squad I was in, 4 of them had no mics on the team or squad chat, the other one had it in team but didn't speak. It's not really a thing about the mode, more players that actually play the mode should really look at going to team comms.
