None of that has anything to do with the fact that the story does not have to be forced. This is an MMO, not a single player rpg, every MMO has story, every MMO has lore, not every MMO forces you to talk to every NPC. WoW, the game that every likes to bring up for some reason, did not force lore and had at one point 12million subs. I think it's safe to say that the game won't die if you don't force quests. Believe it or not, not everyone plays MMOs for the story *shrugs*

People that like reading the story quests can while people that don't aren't forced too, everyone is happy.

something for you...

Again, why should the game change for you? How are you going to access anything without your single player content? Like i said before, everything is bound to single player story and trying to make it all unlock on it's own is a huge amount of time (based on how loosely all the systems are connected in this game)
Like it or not, this game is a single player as well as an mmo. If you don't like that aspect you don't like over half the game and as such should go to other games instead.

Actually its an MMO that is very storyline based, that's the role they(SE) want to fill, and yes if people don't like it, they can find a game better suited to them. Not every game is perfect for everyone, and it shouldn't even be tried, thats how you end up with watered down crap for games. I agree with SEs decision to make the game this way fully.

You know, even single player RPGs "force" you to push the plot so you can get to others areas.

[Terribad]

Snip.

Lol not forcing story is not how you end up with water down crap, how do you figure?

Again, why should the game change for you?

Would you care to copy and paste where I said the game should change AT ALL, let alone for me? I'll wait.

This isn't a single player rpg.....

[Mikhaill]

This isn't a single player rpg.....

Yeah it's a Final Fantasy MMO. FF is strong with their storylines.
You people are actually surprised you have to go through a story to continue on.
Juuuust like many ooother gamesss whether it's MMO or Single player.

[Naraku_Diabolos]

LMAO

OP buys a game that is heavily story-based.... complains about having to play through the story.

Not only asking for a refund, but registers the game and then asks for a refund, thereby having Heavensward installed and wants to give the software back when it's already used.

[Assirra]

This isn't a single player rpg.....

It partially is whether you like it or not. The single player part consumes half of the game or more.

It is used to unlock everything in the whole game.

Until they advertise it as such, it isn't.

You can be strong with story without forcing it. Forcing it doesn't make the game any better or worse, people that don't want to read it. Don't read, have no clue what's going on and still enjoy the MMO aspect of it. Also in maaannnyyy other MMOs you don't have to go through the story, you have to at most leave a starting area and the story is still optional there.
