Custom CC Games are way better than Ranked

My problem with communities is that I never know which one is sanitized and which one isn't.

The two I linked at the start of this thread, Rising Stars and Temari's, are both pretty chill -- so if you're interested in what they have to offer, I can guarantee they'll be sanitized.
Same with another group, PvPrincesses. The folks that come out to the queue syncs are just there to play the game in coordinated groups and would be more than happy to teach someone some good Frontlines cadence.

Revival's had some moderation issues in the past, due to it's size and the mods being an all-volunteer force, but it's much better now.
PvPrimal is also fine. Mostly a hub for organizing games to play, playing them, and going home.
There's one for OCE and EU too, but I don't hang around there often enough to know if they're clean. Aussies can be brutal lol

The loyalty you show your friends is admirable.

Last I checked, PvPrimal was worthless for farming CC/Frontline wins since there were basically no groups being formed.

Certainly wouldn't mind a golden ticket to whatever private Discord is running all these queue syncs seemingly all hours of the day, since the matchmaking in both modes has made it impossible to win for ages. Pity if you need those colossal win achievements.

Ehhh they run queue syncs every Friday & have a ping for people who want to group up to play Frontline.

They're not private but they're not guaranteeing any wins. Feel free to join the syncs tho:

What in the wintrade shenanigans is CC win farming...

That sounds good. Perhaps when ranked is less active on my end I might take a peek, especially considering I just threw the towel with pve in XIV.
What is the main difference between all those servers? Do they really need to be all distinct instead of more centralized?

Well, most of these communities started with one person having an idea for an event and made their own server, rather than getting approval/permission from one of the larger ones. Over time it grew to be a staple of the community and the rest is history.

Which is how I started mine. I wanted to see more Crystalline Conflict tournaments so I made a discord server that I could customize to better feed information to team leads/friends. Sure I could have latched onto PvPrimal or Revival or some other large server but personally, I like doing my own thing.
