Limit Breaks in solo duties

[Bonbori]

I couldn’t agree more! The amount of praise the WoL receives feels off-putting to me, and makes my character feel like it’s not a part of the world. Maybe that’s why I don’t have any interest in a solo LB, why need to prove how powerful I am when NPCs won’t stop going on and on about it?

Exactly! A lot of that praise feels like it's being directed at the player more than the character. And that feels wrong because I definitely didn't earn it. I'm not accomplishing 20 heroic deeds per minute because I'm working hard at it, no, heroic deeds just passively happen to me because my character in the story is an omnipotent Mary Sue and everyone ignores the fact that there's thousands of other adventurers running around, many of whom are more experienced and powerful than I. Oh, and they carry me through all the dungeons and boss fights. Why do I get all the credit? I don't deserve it so the constant praise feels dishonest.

In general, trying to tell a "chosen one" story in an MMO is just... inherently out of place. It might work in a single-player game but the narrative of an MMORPG should be about togetherness and jolly cooperation, not glorifying individual power and self-sufficiency.
