Lower EXP for Frontline Roulette

[AbysmalDuck]

I'm a competitive person, just like any other person that typically plays a PvP mode. I'm utterly over the amount of AFK'ers and enablers in Frontlines. There is a difference between trying and learning. People that can't do more than 10/20k damage should not be grouped with people consistently hitting 200k damage. It is literally maybe only 4 buttons to get 10k and you are in the match for at least 10 minutes. It is obvious that people aren't trying.

This is almost the last thread for me between cancelling my subscription and continuing, because if people act this way in content that I constantly get told "no one cares about", then I can't imagine the attitude of people in other content.

For the people that will disagree with me, fine, then take away Leaderboards, achievements that require wins, and the PvP Profile since the stats are lies. Getting a win is complete RNG in it's current form.

It does sadden me that FFXIV has many players who afk or item level cheese because either "the content doesn't matter" or "the rewards aren't enough for me to care". It feels incredibly toxic. I'm hoping sooner than later, SE is able to better punish afkers and fix item level cheesing (particularly alliance raid roulette) in order to improve the game's experience for those of us who want to enjoy the game the way it was intended. The more I play this game, the more I see this game's community as a defining example of passive-aggressive toxicity.

Non-participation is considered griefing and you should do your civic duty to report such players to GMs.

PvP reports have been ignored for years.

AFKers and win-traders never get actioned, no matter how many times you report them.

There was a patch (I think it was a little after 5.2 or closer to 5.3) where frontlines was giving out significantly less experience points. To my surprise, there were complaints, and soon enough that problem was fixed. I don't see lowering the experience points happening if majority are going to be fighting over rhe amount given alone.

I'm literally top dps 3/4 of the matches and still getting 3rd place sooo many times it's infuriating.. and then people here says that one ppl can make the difference >_>

Edit I know my post is useless but just wanting to complain and vent a bit

This is bar none the biggest blight in the community and it’s not completely the players fault when the game is blatantly designed to not engage you, very very few instances where your choice as your role matter outside of savage

It's rare, but every now and then I would see a game where someone gets over 30 kills and only has 600 points to show for it at the end of the game.

Due to how the system currently is solo carrying doesn't exist, and it never will. It takes 2 to carry.

EXP rewards are the only reason frontlines even pop. Prior to that they were dead queues and it took preplanned events for them to pop so people could get the mounts. Frontlines just isn't a good mode. 72 players is just too much and it turns into this massive zerg.

Personally I wish they focused more on smaller scale pvp instead of frontlines.

Perhaps we need to take a look on this matter from different perspective
Experience gained can stay the same, but we can increase the exp and tome gained for first place.
For example, first place will reward 100% more exp or 40 tomes
