Info on the Lodestone!

Carrot and stick. Lore is not a substantial enough carrot to make me do the side quests and I suspect a large percentage of the playing people. I enjoy the lore on the websites - I never complained about that - I merely stated there is no incentive to do a side quest. If I want to know the lore behind a side quest with no reward I can look up any one of the wiki's available to the community.

Sad maybe, but I'm just being honest.

Well, it's true that you could look it up on wiki, but if you could do it in game, why wouldn't you? =p

Quite frankly, I would rather, grind / gather / camp an NM / do job quests or storyline .... basically anything I find fun in game rather than waste time running all over the place for a piece of lore (again, I'm just being brutally honest - not confrontational).

I don't think you're being confrontational, and you are entitled to your opinion. ^-^ I basically do a lot of what you do, but some days I like to take on a few on the side-quests just to learn a little something about the world. They're not major or really all that important, you're right. However, they can help immersion a little and introduce new players to new ideas and information. Or just give an older player a little something different to do that day while waiting for leves to start or something. =p

It still can and is entertaining to some. At least I can say I enjoyed my time doing them and I knew what to expect from them, so it's not like I was disappointed.
