What Tera taught me about the quest plans for ARR.

[Reika]

Maybe our difference in opinion comes down to this. I believe the game's structure should promote some amount of social interaction; not leave that responsibility solely up to the player.

There will be. I highly doubt there will not be any kind of group quests as stand-alones or part of quest chains, and dungeons and raids will definantly not be solo and require interactions. The FATE system was described as something that gets people together to tackle the objective. There are plenty of things in the game that cant be soloed, but they want it so that leveling up is not one of those things that you must do in a group. Thats the conveniance quest based leveling has over monster grind leveling.
