SE stop doing the "norm"

XI -did- have alot of throwaway quests, but you werent expected to do them for xp. personally, i want these xp dummy quests to have throwaway storylines so i dont have to do every single quest in the game to understand whats going on when all of the story related stuff should be in story missions. and lets face it.. who here has played a quest-driven game and sat down and did them one at a time reading every single thing they said. it probably took a loonnnnnng time to get anywhere.

and ive said it before, nothing will be more of a turn off than:

hey didya hear what happened 5 years ago? no? well go kill 10 sheep and bring me their left ear!
oh cool.. so what happened was that something BAD happened.... if you wanna know more details.. go kill more sheep.

thats ragequit material right there, and pretty much what every MMO is doing right now. now little throwaway quests where the farmer's daughter got sodomized by sheep, and he wants me to go get revenge.. awesome, i'll be right back.

edit:
it reminds me of kingdom hearts.. story: Riku is getting away! after him!.... but first, lets go help jack sparrow get his ship back.. wait.. what?

1. I'm a veteran of many MMOs including FFXI and WoW which I have both played forever and was experienced end game in both... and currently play WOW FFXIV and TSW... and I have done every single quest in Warcraft twice getting loremaster on both chars back before they made it easy... I did 80% of the quests in FFXI... FFXIV I have done quests for the achievements... TSW all the quests are story driven ofcourse got them down... I sit there and read the story for every quest maybe its my ADHD but I enjoy the freaking story o.o

2. Kingdom hearts sucks I hope when we get transported to 2.0 you get left behind and get crushed by Dalamud... (I'm trade marking that phrase...)

By being a current player of WoW, you submit yourself to a fate worse than being crushed by a moon

why because I don't play FFXI anymore and cry how FFXIV is not like FFXI and welcome new ideas into a community? ... yup I'm sentenced to death by being open minded!~ its how the world works~ I love how you bend over and expect everyone to wipe your bum just because you don't play WoW and hate it just for the sake of hating o.o/ stop pissing in everyone's cake already...

Funny, I heard WoW: Kung Fu Panda Edition was actually the best expansion they have made yet. I mean, don't get me wrong, I think the game sucks, but, y'know, one mans trash and such..

I didn't enjoy the beta, mostly because I found the new talent system terribly watered-down. "Best" expansion is certainly subjective; most people would say that BC was probably the best.

Also, "I think the game sucks" is the standard go-to for all the people who thought XI was the best thing out there, and who hated WoW even though they'd never played it.
