Basic Competence

[Avenger]

Backing up the idea that this is actually Crystal Conflict, not just KO the enemy. That checkpoint matters! People make the same misconception in the Frontline modes and that's why they lose. Two teams will get stuck fighting each other while the third picks up the big targets.

Ignoring objectives and fighting for third place. It is the Frontline way.

In FL I always assume there will be a group of players who are just going for the hand of mercy achievement and nothing else.

For CC I kind of like OP's idea of a tutorial mode like hall of the novice for pvp - I would also add a skirmish mode against NPCs for learning and practicing jobs without ruining games for actual human teammates.

I like how so many people are playing PvP now. I don't think it has ever been this popular in the history of FFXIV. I understand the pain of CC and FL at the moment though, and I have my own nostalgia for pre-6.1 Frontline and especially Hidden Gorge.

But nothing can be as one-sided as Frontline was before they changed to freelancers (days of Maelstrom vs. Immortal Flames on Primal DC.)
