Get away from our game!

[Adire]

I wouldn't say it is negative, but story is one of the main things in any FF game and to have an MMO finally IMO do it very well, I would hate to see that go away because of a population of the game deemed it more important to clear raid and min/max or whatever "elite" players do, there are many other MMOs that follow this trend.

I don't think anyone is wanting the story to go away. I don't care about the story really, but love other aspects of the game. But is the story or people who like it doing me any harm? No. I'm pretty sure most of the "WoW players" feel the same way.

Actually WoW has a pretty neat lore. It doesn't have the narrative than the FF series, but the background lore is quite interesting. Sadly, you gotta research it on your own. It's not being thrown at your face like here.

When something does interest me with the story in the game, I tend to not get it from cutscenes. I go read wikis. Researching specifics that interest me is what I prefer rather than sitting through cut scenes. The stereotype that WoW has no story and therefore its players must be out to ruin FFXIV's story is pretty insane, though I've seen it said quite a few times lately.
