Endgame people want certain combinations of jobs, if you picked what is considered a bad job, you're not going to get many invites to endgame content. Speaking of that, the game has been out like 5 years, and the balance of some classes is awful, and it never gets fixed. Also camping bosses is alot of fun, you stand in one spot for a few hours waiting for a spawn, and when it does spawn, you're fighting with other people to claim it before they do.
Also whoever said PvP was good has apparently never played a pvp game. FFXI's pvp was just thrown in there to make people happy and it's awful.
Not to say it's a completely bad game, it can be fun, but you pretty much need to have no life to be good in this game. I think I quit like 2 months after reaching level 75 because endgame was so bad and required so much time.
