I find that with most class/jobs in this game, half the story is boring while the other half is interesting. For Pld, I liked the characters for the Gld quests more than the ones for the Pld quest. For War's, the job quests were far more interesting than the class quests. Drk doesn't really have class quests, but the sub 50 quests were WAY better than the post 50 ones.

For the Pld quests, specifically, the post 50 quests do have some intrigue. There's a pretty interesting streak of lore in there, but you have to really read between the lines to get at it.
