ALL mmos revolve around story, ALL mmos have a story and design content around said story. Only this one forces you to do it, mmos don't behave the same way single player rpgs do.

This game is extremely single player. A good chunk of the story quests you can't even do with someone else because it's instanced content. They need to move away from this design and make it more like an actual mmo.
Why wouldn't it force you to, that is what it SHOULD do, why on earth should everyone have access to everything the moment they are plopped in the game, yea just throw a fresh character in HW area, with no idea why they are there, this is an RPG, you SHOULD be required to deal with a story, otherwise, why are you here?

I wouldn't start playing street fighter because i want to go through story mode and master it, i play it if i want to FIGHT others, because it's a FIGHTING game. just like RPGs, MMO or not, are STORY drivin games, You just have to deal with it. if you don't like stories that much, then these type of games are not for you.
