Yes, absolutely, because the story is not only a plot and characters, it sets the stage for the world in which you do everything else. When the story was good, I wanted to be in the world, even if I was mostly PvPing or crafting.

Equally importantly, with a good story you want to know what is going to happen next. That excited anticipation again makes it more pleasurable to carry out activities in the world, even when your MSQ quest bar says: "To be continued..."

When I look at "To be continued..." now, my reaction is "Must we?" And the answer is "no."
