Back in pre ARR I was a very active participant in the Balmung Pug scene. I would farm Primals all day long and I loved it. Now that this horrible story is in place, my life no longer includes slaying massive beasts and taking their treasure. You see, we are now being forced through a bad story if we want to unlock endgame content, and I refuse to subject myself to button mashing through walls of text and completing fetch quests. Each primal used to have a stand alone quest line that one would complete in order to unlock it.
So now there is nothing to do except mine ore.
Here is a picture of my character crying.
