The option is there. For a price.

If players really want to play the "MMO" side of things (Whatever that means in this context... I played with plenty of people doing the duties necessary for MSQ...) they can pay to skip all the stuff that makes FFXIV an actually good game and what gives it the edge over its competitors - Many of which do things better than it (ESO does far better open world content, BDO does far better combat, WoW does far better end-game Dungeon/Raid/PvP grinds).

FFXIV has its spot in having THE best story in an MMO. I'd even argue that it beats out Star Wars the Old Republic (Which is another story driven game... I hesitate to call it an MMO because 99.99% of the game and literally the entirety of the game that's worth a damn, is solo content. I.e. Doing your personal stories for each class and then the main story for each expansion. Dungeons and group content was/is trash in that game)

If people feel the need to skip that to get to the end-game grinds... Then they really do need to consider why they're playing this game as opposed to one of the other ones that caters to that gameplay better.
Where exactly are you getting your "facts" that people are only playing this to do the single-player story?

Just because you like one major aspect of this game, doesn't mean other aspects of this game aren't valid preferences for other players. You are stating your opinion as fact here.
