Main story question

[Reneco]

Is it possible to not do the dungeons on the main quests and still continue on the main story line? I like playing a toon that can heal itself, but not be a healer in a group. I would like to play them all, not just one.

It is not possible.

If the task in a specific quest is to complete a dungeon (of which there are several in the Main Story" you cannot move the quest forward without completing the dungeon.

Also, I'm confused about this statement:

Every character can be every class, you don't need to start a new character if you want to switch classes, so your character Shorian Hood (according to your profile pic) can be a Tank, a Healer and a DPS class all you need to do is complete the level 10 class quest for the class you started with which unlocks the ability to join other guilds, go to the class guild for the class you want to change to and complete the "flag" quest called "So you want to be a XXX."

The design of this game is 100% party oriented, outside of gathering, crafting quests and fates, any 'real' content is party oriented, and the storyline very much falls in with that. It's a shame because the Armoury system isn't quite set up to have a focused subjob like FFXI was, and I think that can be quite restricting in a lot of ways.
