You don’t have to grind anything. Just do the daily frontlines and you’ll have it in what? A month and a half? It doesn’t make sense to rush it if you absolutely hate pvp.

I actually really like it.

Treat it as more of a strategy game though, rather than a fast twitch reaction type game. Positioning, prediction, map and class knowledge are king here.

It’s super rewarding to figure out all its intricacies (e.g. identifying when that samurai is fishing for an LB, breaking line-of-sight on casters with good movement to disrupt their rotation, baiting people away from the crystal to force a 5v4 teamfight, timing your stun on somebody so they get killed by a map hazard, and many others.)

That all being said it’s perfectly valid to simply not enjoy the mode. But overall I think pvp is in the best state its ever been in, and they seem committed to improving it further. Now if they could just fix the ice map in frontlines lol…

Nah, it’s easy enough now that they’ve reworked it all for CC, IMO.

But, importantly, it’s not like PvP in a “serious PvP game”. It’s a very lightweight and lighthearted mode that’s available as a brief break from things in an otherwise PvE centric MMORPG.

Once I saw it as that, it “clicked”. It made sense. It’s fun, and trying to predict when someone will use what (remember each job only has a handful of skills!) is a nest game in itself.

(edit)
Oh also, if it’s just about track rewards, do the daily Frontline (Paladin and White Mage are the jobs to stay alive more easily!) And that’ll give you more than enough to get all rewards before the track ends. just that one round each day.
