Dailies are complete trash

[Sinstrel]

I don't really care how long content takes, I just want it to be fun. There isn't much in this game that feels fun for me and for a long time this didn't matter as much because the MSQ and lore was really cool and suspenseful. But now that the MSQ is trash... I'm looking for the fun in the game and I just can't find much.

It feels like the content is being made for the sake of making content and not because the devs played around with it, had a blast, and then thought it would be fun to implement into the game.

This, all day. If something is fun and engaging, I will want to spend time with it. If it is boring and/or tedious, I just want to get it over with. The problem now is that the beast tribe (as long as the Pelupelu are wearing those stupid duck masks, they will be a beast tribe) dailies are so simplistic, and the stories that go with them so uninteresting, that I don't feel like logging in to do them. They provide nothing more than cheap EXP for jobs I don't play often, with the added detriment that once I get one of those jobs to the level cap I have no idea how to play it since none of the quests required me to develop any skills.

At the very least, I wish there was a good story to go with this. Endwalker's hippo cart delivery company set the bar pretty low, and DT's travel agency is doing it's best to limbo underneath it. It's a silly premise that, like the MSQ, doesn't make a lot of sense under any critical scrutiny. The characters are completely lacking in personality, and it's made worse because all the Vanuvanu and Pelupelu look alike; there is no individual distinction between anyone. And everyone is just so... agreeable. I wish I could get rubes from the city to pay me for the Real Farmer Experience, and I could put them to work doing the crap I don't like to do.

I am tired of the apologists' argument of, "It's always been like this." Yeah, I know. That doesn't mean it was good. It was bad then, and it's worse now. A new expansion is a chance to take a risk and try something new, but instead DT doubled-down on the design philosophy of EW--accessibility trumps engagement. I think the devs look at completion numbers and take away the wrong conclusions; fast and cheap means more people will do it, but they're not asking if anyone is really satisfied with it.

what if i told you that the reason for the duck masks is to hide the fact that pelupelu are just repurposed child models from arr
