I just don't understand the "if people don't like the story they should be playing another MMORPG" mentality.

1. Clearly the entire start of my thread was pointing out individuals who want to play this game but don't want to grind the story. So by definition I'm showing that there are people who want to play this game who are not about the story. You some how know better than what they want? Like what? Just go look at the Novice Linkshell that returning players get to join currently and see all the griping about the MSQ grind. Clearly there are a lot of people in this boat. So again what on earth are you arguing when you says people who don't like the story should be playing another MMORPG.

2. I can take this silly argument to the next level and say "Well if you are so into story than you shouldn't be playing an MMORPG at all!". Please go play a single player final fantasy game instead and stop trying to force story on people who want to play an MMORPG. Yay for silly arguments.

3. Are all you MSQ enforcers sitting around at max level after you have finished the MSQ just reminiscing about the amazing adventure you had during the story? Or wait have you moved on to a different MMORPG? Cause there is clearly no reason to do any of the other stuff in this game after the MSQ is over.

4. I personally don't love or hate the story but I am here because I love the final fantasy feel of the world and classes. I love the complexity of the classes and their rotations. I love the primal fights. Hey look, people can like different things!


I also don't get this hate for jump potions. It is a win win for everyone. How is allowing others to skip the story bad for you? This only allows the game to grow because it keeps the revolving door of MMORPGs turning. People leave MMORPGs all the time but you don't want to make it difficult for new players taking their place to join. More growth and money for the developers means more and faster content for everyone. I can only think the hate from jump potions is some sort of emotional knee jerk reaction. People keep focusing on the situation with my friends and trying to provide very specific advice for that and don't see this is a problem for the game as a whole and will only become bigger with more expansions.
