The rushness is a product of our time, also. There's unfortunately a lot of amateur writers who don't have the intellect to make things feel fleshed out or make worldbuilding. That's what's lacking. They don't understand nuance or subtlety. They also cant just let things lie and breath a little. WoW is having the same problem, albeit they've been having it for the past three expansions. I didn't expect the bad writing bug to bite FF14, too, but after that Sweet Baby Inc consulting, they haven't been the same ever since.
