why has Role Playing in battle become a thing

[Morphiana]

If they don't do it anymore... there's nothing to fix or adjust or even spend time on. They have more time to fix your hair and hats. In all seriousness, I have always been an advocate to allow the player to skip these. Have them for people who like them? Sure. Don't like them? Don't make me do them. Simple as that and it shouldn't take much code to put an input box in front of the event.

Personally, I find them clunky, dull and frustratingly long especially when I'm forced to play a character I am not particularly attached to or in a past situation where my involvement in the fight doesn't change the outcome. If I were changing an outcome in the past with the echo? Fine. Okay. I'm not changing anything? Why am I reliving it not just seeing it?

It's part of the story in a role playing game, don't know what to tell ya.

What's done is done for the expansion in terms of story / MSQ, they work one expansion ahead of time.


But like I said, I enjoy it and it seems there are plenty of people here who also enjoy it. Not everyone likes every aspect of MSQ, that's to be expected it's an MMO with a wide variety of players but to demand a portion of it be removed is a bit much when it's been well received for the most part.

Again, given how few and far between they are it feels more like nit picking more than anything. Even when you do them it's one mission, one time maybe every 3 patches or more.
