How would you feel about end-game gear only being useful for 3 months?

Then why would anyone do story quests, or quests at all? "You only do them once, derp". Of COURSE you only do them once. Make them only DO-ABLE once! Why does ALL content have to be 'rinse and repeat'??

Nobody do sidequests for a reason, few exceptions, but majority doesnt cares. (which is why they have rewards now and few SPs, nobody was doing them)

in XI people only does main story because they offer endgame rewards, Sky Access, Sea Access, CoP Rings, ToAU rings, Einherjar Access, and so on. God knows nobody would even go through CoP because of how annoying it is if it didn't have sea access as a reward.

It's always about a reward, people needs incentives to do stuff. Yes, doesnt have to be gears, it can be access to certain areas, unlocking certain fights, and so on.

i do them for achievements, some have decent sp and if you don't pay attention it will add up. I got like 20k the other day but it took like 4 hours.

Achievements, SP, Equips. They are all incentives, do people care about the story? i doubt lol.

Anyone THAT disinterested in the story shouldn't even be playing an RPG. Anyone THAT disinterested needs to be playing some kind of action game. Were this an MMOAction, I would totally understand that viewpoint. But this is an RPG. Where's my STORY!? No one picked up Final Fantasies 1 through 10 for the unlockable gear.

People have fun and play with their own way, no need to force your view on 'how to play' to others and it is easily proven by Azury's thread about lores, no one is even contributing on it, it just another foolproof that people skimmed through stories.

No, no need to FORCE players to play how you want. Thus YOU would not play the story content...therefore they shouldn't even develop any for those who DO want it? You're the one wanting to force playstyles (storyless); not I.

There's those of us that like the story but get a little nudge to actually work on it when there's a reward at the end (aka My group finally working on FFXI's CoP storyline when most of those fights were really unfair BS). There's also those of us that like the story a lot but don't really care to talk about it =P
