So skip the parts you think are pointless and go on with your life? How is this a hard concept? Get that free exp and keep going or stop altogether. A game doesn't have to mangle itself to please everybody in existence just because people want an easy button to get to the end. It's been doing just fine with the subscription business this whole time having a mandatory story. People seem content with spamming the skip button if they continue paying that sub fee. If they're not ok with that, then they must be masochists by not cancelling their sub immediately.Quote:

I'm not going to lighten my tone because I don't believe in being fake with people in discussions.

LOL at all the people who are claiming this is a story-based MMO, and if they don't want story, go elsewhere. This is an MMO that has been so watered down in order to try and snag as many people as possible. I hate the story and have skipped most of it. I'm sure there are plenty of others like me who find enjoyment elsewhere. I have never played another MMO where all the new content is locked behind the full MSQ. Sure, throw a few quests in there to unlock certain items, but holding the new content ransom is a bad tactic.

I really enjoyed the story! But, even I got a little burnt out because MSQ between 2.0 and 2.55 it's a lot of boring fetch quests for very low quality cutscenes and little voice acting, only two story dungeons and the occasional trial?
Is there anything against adding an option like "watch a story recap and ship these quests but lose all the experience and what drops," or play as intended? Give people who want to rush to endgame their choice, but obviously they don't recieve the rewards associated... -

Aaand for the record. After ur friends reach to lv 60. The real pain begins. And its farming ur "end game" gear. It takes 7 weeks to get the ilv 230 wpn. And after that it might take months and weeks to ger ur gears to a certain ilv that requires u to raid. Theres no point rushing:)
AND NEXT WEEK I CANT WAIT!!! I want to do the new MSQ!!!!! hw msq is far better than arr IMO. -

In essence, they are already doing the end game stuff. For 2 years all we had was 1-50 with primals and coils, with the occasional patch and story update. You're already there~

If you do not like it I don't understand why you are here. I don't like open world PvP at all. When my friends asked me to play Archeage, I didn't buy the game, play and get ganked, then go on their forums and demand they remove something that's integral to the game. I declined to play at all because I'm not interested in paying money for things I don't enjoy.Quote:

I'm always shocked by the amount of people who don't seem to realize people enjoy different things in games.Quote:

I'm sorry that you are this petty. Same goes for all those that upvoted you.Quote:
