What's with this almost holier-than-thou, "I don't raid, so ha!" sense in some of the statements here? It needs to be said that endgame does not equal raids alone. Yoshi P said it himself once: endgame is a broad spectrum for FFXIV. Glamour, housing, crafting and gathering, all of it comprises endgame. Zeroing in on raiding and all but demonizing it is rather shortsighted and not terribly fair.

In fairness, I enjoy raiding perhaps second to glamour. (I change glams like I change underwear. Most often, it IS my underwear. Don't judge me :P) I enjoy most aspects of endgame, but none more so than raiding, and I'm far from server/world first-caliber. This makes it no more or less valid than other aspects of endgame; it's simply what I and several friends enjoy the most. Mileage varies among players, and knowing that, SE delivers various things under the banner of endgame.

I suppose it'd be best to say with the game's design and offerings, enjoyment at endgame is what you make of it.
