Did that train of conversation really just happen?

If you don't care about lore, the side quests probably aren't there for you.

I've been something of a supporter of SE's methods till now (I do genuinely enjoy these articles though, as I said before, I'd really love a news rack to be put into the adventurer's guilds and an NPC to shout when new articles come out, immersion etc). However, I think as others have said, in this case I think we needed a bit more than a few black and white pictures. Ah well, only a month to go.
Carrot and stick. Lore is not a substantial enough carrot to make me do the side quests and I suspect a large percentage of the playing people. I enjoy the lore on the websites - I never complained about that - I merely stated there is no incentive to do a side quest. If I want to know the lore behind a side quest with no reward I can look up any one of the wiki's available to the community.

Sad maybe, but I'm just being honest.
