why i quit before reaching endgame (feedback from a new player)

I notice how everyone keeps going on and on about the story and cutscenes, but conveniently forget how god-awful the endless teleport-fedexing is. Maybe that gets suppressed in memory.

this is because the primary complaint of the OP is

go to npc -----> cutscene -----> accept quest -----> cutscene -----> make quest -----> go to npc -----> cutscene ------> accept new quest -----> cutscene -----> go to next npc -----> cutscene
-----> do quest -----> cutscene -----> go to npc -----> cutscene -----> accept dungeon-quest -----> cutscene -----> enter dungeon -----> cutscene -----> arrive first boss -------> cutscene
-----> arive next boss -----> cutscene -----> arrive last boss -----> cutscene -----> defeat last bos -----> cutscene ------> go out of dungeon ------> cutscene-...................

Not about "fedexing".

Exactly so. I suppress it like PTSD. Until someone asks me to go grab dinner and bring it back, Then I cower under the kitchen table whimpering " no fetch no fetch"


I get where the OP and others are coming from. I brought two friends with me one has learned to skip and click the other went back to playing WoW =/

It's not the questing or even the fetch quests (which I despise right up there with collection quests) but the cut scenes that they did not care for. Oh and the reading. (And the instanced solo battles but that is another topic!). So not to be part of the dog pile but I doubt that is going to change anytime soon. If you enjoy the game then you need to skip and click. If you can't do that sadly you may need to find something you do enjoy.

But hey IF they did change it That would be cool by me too so long as there was still a story and the game did no devolve back into Everquest or XI like game play.
