fazit: The game fails new players as an MMO, but also kinda fails as a good single player experience because of its excessive lenght and boring gameplay elements during the MSQ part.

While the story itself has some merits, the way MSQ is structured is absolutely stupidly boring and mind-numbing. I do agree that you should be able to play with your friends a greater portion of the MSQ, but it also makes sense why those instances are solo, since it's your story.

I remember when I started playing this game, I was so sick and tired of running around and talking to X NPC, at the edge of the map to come back to Y at the other side of the map, to then talk to Z at the completely opposite side to return then where you started. So damn boring and so annoying, made to waste as much time as possible for almost 0 value.

Every single expansion was the same :
1. Chores for NPCs you didn't care about 70%
2. More chores, but the plot was picking up a bit, 20%
3. Things got serious, and the actual plot was relevant 10%

15-20% actual story and 80-85% filler BS. Also, everything was so damn predictable. Probably the only plot twists I saw were the Crystal Braves and the lolorrito thing in ARR, the rest was boring, predictable, and linear stuff.
