To be fair though, the game doesn't exactly do a good job of guiding you in that. You need to hope that some high-rank PVP player has made a video or that you can join a Discord and ask. Even PVE has the Novice Hall. PVP actively tells you to just "get in there and do it." When you're accustomed to pretty much having your hand held starting out in the PVE world, you naturally think PVP is going to be similar, and it's jarring when it isn't.

Right now, PVP in FFXIV is very carrot-and-stick, but the stick is coated in barbed wire and set on fire. It's the equivalent of tying your arms and legs together and telling you to swim. Why do it, then? Everyone has their reasons but for myself, I like trying to improve and working toward a goal. I might never get there, but I'll certainly give it my best. I like the competition and having the results to show for my efforts. But by the same token, the way Feast is set up is abysmally punishing - more than a game should be.
