You can argue that the targetting system works for PVE.. if you get used to adjusting your camera to block out the unessacry enemies.. but this does not work in front-lines at all. You need a full field of vision and going tunnel vision and gimping yourself in this manner is a really bad idea. Trying to pick out a key target quickly in a mob of 20 players is extremely frustrating. FF 14's tab-targeting system just isn't intuitive in a active pvp setting with congested battle zones. Target nearest enemy doesn't work.

The targeting system really needs some re-working for frontlines. It's not unplayable, it's just needlessly frustrating/difficult. A fluid targeting system would make frontlines that much more enjoyable.
