Errand boy of light

Generally (with the exception of 4.1 and 4.2's lack luster story hooks) FF14 has been pretty good at story telling...but what gets my goat is my character is one of the 'warriors of light' so why the heck do I get treated like a glorified errand boy? Savages, extremes. Done'em. But yet all these side quests necessary for the anata (know I'm spelling that wrong) are just errand running that any other npc could do...actually 98% of the side quests are like that, and it drives me crazy. Don't make a ton of pointless and useless side quests mandatory for beast tribes -.- Rant off.

Been like that since Before the fall v1.0... they even made some funny comics about it. Travel across the land just to come back...lol Sounds like many RPG's to me.

For the best tribe quests they are treating you like any normal adventurer(I think they even say they are looking for able adventurers to do the odd jobs they have that they can't complete) for everything else.. that's just MMOs in general. Bringing someone something tends to move the plot along from what I'm seeing running the msq a second time through with all the story telling being done through cutscenes and dialogue. I honestly don't know what else they'd do besides kill mobs here, deliver this there.

Well someone needs to do it and everyone else is 'the' Warrior of Light as well, so get in line? <.<

So drop out of the adventurer's guild if you don't want to do an adventurer's work.

Oh, wait, you can't. =p

These side-quests are optional quest. The Warrior or Light (you) can chose to ignore them if you want. I for one like that we have variety and don't have to go about saving the world all the time. I was actually gonna make a topic regarding this in light of the side-quest of little ladies day.

I was joking about this with my brother yesterday. Warrior of Light? More like Messenger of Light lol. Melfinia has the ability to communicate with anyone, anywhere through linkshell, yet we have to manually go to all these locations and deliver information in the most boring, rudimentary way. Why?

The only reason I can come up with is padding.

Free gil, exp, respect, items, rewards, and stuff. I mean many take these simple rewards for granted, yet I am one who does not.
