How is it in any way unreasonable to want a quest through which to obtain a reward?

I'm sick of everything in the game being handed to us. The point of a game is to have something to do. If there is nothing to earn there is no sense of progress. Gaining the ability to use the airships or the chocobos is a sign of advancement and a much need goal to achieve. This game has absolutely no goal for users to achieve accept hitting level 50. An MMO needs more things to work towards than the next level, the next dungeon, and the next piece of armour. It's not supposed to be solely about getting stronger.
