This is a new conspiracy theory about Jesse Cox that made me spew my coffee out. No sorry Jesse Cox didn't cook this whole thing up. MMORPG's have been around since it's conception in 1996. One of the first of this genre, was a game called "Meridian 59".

Some examples of an MMORPG are: Anarchy Online, Black Desert Online, EverQuest, Final Fantasy XIV, Guild Wars, Rift, Runescape, Ultima Online, and World of Warcraft etc...

MMO can be anything from a Battle Royale action title, FPS, a real-time strategy game, or even a new type of interactive experience that defies genres.

And who is this " THESE PEOPLE and WE and US? Your opinion is your opinion and people have different opinions on what they find enjoyable in FFxiv.

It doesn't bother me in the least that people skip story or not, as long as they can play their job. That to me is what ARR is mostly there for. To teach the new player. Though I don't like the fetch quest reaching into the later expansions, but that's just me, and I agree to it being filler. I think maybe what the devs are trying to do is put you into the next area of a certain zone for story progression. I think there is a better way of doing that part of it too.

Overall people have their favorite msq expansions and their least favorites. Then some could care less about the msq all together, that just how it is and will be. Yes one day XIV will die down, but I don't think we fully know what the root cause will be just yet. Only guesses of what it could be.
