I'm not "jaded" at all. I like story based games and it was for that reason I am playing this game. Other games are not as story based and I didn't care for them (started with Ultima online, went to WoW and GW1 and 2 in 2004-5 stayed till 2017, nothing would return me to WoW at this point, but they were story based at one time and I loved them until recently) But I love the story, so do many of my friends that have just started this game. You'll have to compromise somehow between those who love the story and the whole experience start to finish with those who just want to pew pew with their friends at quick end game. Both types are NOT wrong, play styles are NOT wrong, but I and many others love this game as is, so we should not be ridiculed based on our opinion just as you shouldn't with your opinion. So what's your compromise?
