XI had flaws but it was overall superior to XIV. The story line content alone puts XIV to shame. I also think the grinding EXP in PTs and having to work together and socialize is far superior to grinding out fetch quests and running errands for NPCs by yourself. I read how a lot of people have problems when it comes to these dungeons and I think the leveling system is to blame. When grinding fetch quests which largely count on you to slay monsters you can easily handle 2-4 at a time does not teach you how your job should function in a team. XI's party system had came with its own problems but you learned how to function as a unit generally starting as early as level 10.
