Unlocking Content

Also as a side note I think the whole let's do a quest to unlock every single dungeon/trial/new feature is really annoying, it should just become unlocked via reaching a certain level.

WoW sounds more like what you're looking for, No pesky story to accompany your leveling, instantly unlocked dungeons with no rhyme or reason to them, enjoy~

(note, I DO play WoW as well and rather enjoy it, this post was more tongue-in-cheek than seriously bashing on anything, so don't bite my head off)

I could've sworn WoW had a bunch of story elements to it though...
They just explained most of it in novels you had to pay up to $24 for...
Ah well, as one of my favorite reviewers put it: "I shouldn't have to do homework to make sense of your story."
Not that it matters in WoW of course >_>

Yeah it had. Now it degenerated into a facebook game that requires the purchase of 6 video games and a monthly subscription.

Warlords started rather story intensive at the very start, but once you got out of the intro it was basically very dry bits and pieces, most of the big "fat" of any lore or story was put into the raids, leaving the outside quests incredibly insignificant, leveling happens so fast that most people I know just farmed the "rares" that spawn near constantly for free loot+exp (they spawn every 5-10 mins but only count as a "rare" spawn until you kill it once) and then just kill random monsters/gather herbs/mining nodes until a dungeon unlocked, and then just spammed the dungeon until another popped up etc etc, they only did the bare minimum of quests needed. I'm personally glad FF isn't quite like this, myself.... yet. and yes, it's very true. What story on WoW that isn't in raids, is in the books they publish. It's just....sad haha
