Anecdotal, you still learn people and you can build a community reputation playing PvP in FFXIV. We don't get to choose the map, and you'll still see some people only once, but you get to know who's who. The problem is, it's not as fast as fortnite or other games. Which is a large turn off for many. But the slower (just barely slower) pace is more forgiving towards people that are middle aged and can't compete with top tier fortnite/ League of Legends, etc types.
