I really enjoy this game and the endgame content seems like what I want to do, but I work really odd shifts as an event security guard, so I can't commit to a static as I can't guarantee I can be available. So I can't do that. I've also tried PFs for hours on-end for parties and gotten nowhere. So I can't do that. I would really like to DF these things I want to do. But... I can't do that. And this last one is the most arbitrary of the three, as it's just 'what SE wants'.

When I started I thought XIV was very progressive for its party-matching system, but then you get to the endgame and they drop it entirely until the content is old/irrelevant/you need it cleared to do the next thing. If people want to throw themselves into content like that, shouldn't SE just let them?
