Frontlines Standings

[Mistress_Irika]

I'm probably wasting everyone's time. So I'm not expecting for this to receive much attention. Regardless, my curiosity is there. So I'll ask anyway.

For those that only play frontlines solely for experience points, for those that are only there for the fun of things regardless of results, and to those that are there simply to kill time, do you check the frontline standings on the lodestone? If so, how frequently? If for some reason a separate standing was to pop up for pvp teams would you be interested with looking at the results there?

Frontlines is a purely casual game mode. The jobs were not balanced with frontlines in mind. All but one of the game modes have elements of randomness in them that does not support fair competitive play. A 1v1v1 type of format also lends itself to unfair competitive play because you inevitably run into scenarios where one team does not play optimally and inadvertently helps another team (not necessarily intentionally either). So in short ALL frontlines is casual play just some people take wins/losses more seriously.

You probably could have guessed that I don't check my frontline standing very often as I don't see it as any kind of reflection of skill or achievement. It is fun though and I love the option to level up whatever I want by having some mindless fun
