Hey guys, I'm the original person who wrote the blog on the toxicity of questing.

My biggest issue with questing in MMOs is that they basically took the formula from single-player RPGs, added it into MMORPGs with little to no adaptation and multiplied the amount by 1000. There are so many quests and in most MMOs they offer so very little in terms of meaning, they're just fillers to get you to the next level/area, and I can only do so much of those until I run out of patience. Basically if I'm playing a video game, I'm looking to have fun, not do chores for 80 levels until I finally get to jump into the fun part, so that's where I'm coming from with this. I do believe that questing has its place in MMORPGs however, but I'm very much against the current format and the way its forced on players.

Got to give credit where credit is due though, FFXIV does have a really awesome main story and some interesting side quests as well.

Hope this clears things up a little.

See ya!
