game operates like wow
well here's the thing, us FF14 player (not the wow immigrant) DONT want this game to be wow. you come to our place, you guys follow the rules and system just like the rest of us.

its fine to suggest some way to skip story component and stuff, but make it optional not "you must do this, we dont like that, change it" kind of thing. the story is the focus of the game, if you skip it you are basically miss 50% of the game, its like you are watching endgame but you only watch the last 30 minutes of the movie.

to be frank, i though ESO is more suitable for you who quit wow? its pvp focus, the art is more familiar with you wow player, everything is not gated with the main story, you go and do anything pretty much from the start (after tutorial that is)
