I used to enjoy raiding but it was something I did much more actively years ago back when I played WoW. I did do a decent amount of raiding in FFXIV itself but I don't have the same enthusiasm for it that I once did.

It'd be nice to find a group of likeminded players who I could build up a good rapport with over time but raiding being treated like a second job in many cases is a real turn off to me.

So I turned to PvP as my 'end game' and although Frontlines isn't perfect, I'd like to think I've done pretty well for myself:



I'm tentatively excited for the new PvP mode that we're getting. I think I'll enjoy that more than ranked PvP in its current form.

Yep. It's why I typically preferred PvP in mmorpgs, though I usually always just played casual modes instead of ranked, but I have played ranked content from time to time. I could never get into PvE (raiding) - even when I was more of a people person. Way too much time to set up, way too much time progging, a lot of frustration if things go wrong. Sure the end clear is an amazing feeling after all the work put into getting it, but 90% of raiding was just so.. stressful, boring, tedious..

I'm cautious about the supposed new mode. I haven't looked at anything recently, never watched the liveletter or whatever either. I also don't know how you can do so many frontlines. Frontlines, in my opinion, is some of the worst PvP content I have ever played in any game. I'd really rather go back and do huttball over and over again.
