I hate dungeons....

FFXIV is not purely multi-player - no Quest Hub MMO is.

The biggest reason why people try to Power Level to max level is to skip the [predominantly] single player leveling experience and get to social gaming (where the majority of players are huddled in any MMO older than a year or so), which is literally the only reason to play FFXIV over The Witcher III: Wild Hunt.

ESO's community is much better than in this game, as well. I felt a lot more welcome there than in FFXIV, where you're simply ignored... even after joining most Free Companies. They're incredibly cliquey. I used to complain about this in WoW, but the FFXIV player base takes this to a completely different stratosphere. It really turned me off from the game, among other things (like the ridiculous queue times - honestly the worst I've ever experienced in an MMO on DPS -or- healer).
