Why does everyone abuse the warrior of light?

[RiceisNice]

Some of this actually reaches a boiling point for those who did the Dork Knight job quests.

[Ranzan]

In the dark knight quest the wrong person won. Also yes the the warrior of light is an abused mute. And yes the people in eorzea are useless as box fan against Garuda...

NPC: "Please do my laundry, and I'll give you an item that will save the world."
Player: "Ye."
Player: *does laundry*
NPC: "Good, now pair up each sock, then do my taxes."
Player: "Ye."
[Eventually, the Warrior of Light realized that he (or she) got so wrapped up in doing errands, the developers had to hire a new one.]

Good to know that after killing a few primals you consider yourself too good to help a friend make something nice for another friend who just basically came back from death. Arrogant much? Stay humble and help your fellow man even with menial daily tasks, you didn't suddenly become too good for that just because you can kill primals without risk of being tempered.

Well we would join the Empire if they let us, but no we're stuck doing meaningless tasks for all the idiots in the world.

That's not them helping us, that's them making sure we have resources to do shit they asked us to do in first place.

That explains why there are so many warriors of light when the story makes it seem like there's only one.

All the warriors of light are doomed to fall into an endless pit of fetch quests that they don't have the ability to refuse, and doomed to being replaced. It's a never ending cycle.

The ascians could win the war against the light if only they'd give fetch quests to the warriors of light!

Ascian: "Go bring me 100 boar leathers while I kill off your friends!"
Warrior of Light: ......*nod*
Ascian: "Good....now go kill 50 dodos while we kill Hydaelyn"
Warrior of Light: .....*nod*

Ascians win.

For want of a nail the shoe was lost
For want of a shoe the horse was lost
For want of a horse the rider was lost
For want of a rider the message was lost
For want of a message the battle was lost
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost
And all for the want of a nail.

It's because the WoL touches themselves at night.

[Evangela]

It's been like that since 1.X. I don't like how my character never had a real spotlight as a protagonist. NPCs keep treating me like a servant and always take credits from my hard works. The problem is our character cannot talk so they have other NPCs to talk for us but they actually took the spotlights from our characters.
