The negative people are always the loudest. A lot of you need to learn to speak for yourselves. Claiming that most end game players dont care about the story, only caring about gear and the next raid? Im guessing you got that idea from the last f2p piece of crap you played that doesnt have any dialog worth reading. I raid 4 times a week, always trying to get the best gear, but story has and always will be the biggest thing for me in this game. I doubt I wouldve cared to do coil if there wasnt an interesting back story. I doubt Id even still be playing if it was your generic MMO raid system.

As a side note, I tried TERA lately out of boredom and waiting for HW, that game has terrible cutscenes and dialog, and yes it seems almost every player is in it for loot and dungeon runs, it might as well be a vindictus expansion. Some friends of mine I was lvling with queued up for a dungeon the moment I hit 27, I had no clue where it was, why it was there, and I was wondering how I even got in without unlocking it. After the dungeon I was in a place I hadnt been before. The entire experience felt completely random and its clear the devs of TERA only use quests as a lvling device and put little to no care into it, they dont even require you to do main story and you can get all of your lvls powerleveling 1.0 style (chain packs of mobs and let low lvls tag and kill). Theres nothing like trying out other mmos to revitalize your appreciation for the one you enjoy most.

Thank you FFXIV dev team for making an interesting world to go along with the gameplay.

Every dungeon in TERA has a lore specific purpose. When you quest in the area that a dungeon is in, or any area really, there is an overarching story going on and it concludes with the dungeon (if there is one for that area and your level range). You use to have to form premade groups and met at the dungeon entrance, just like XIV once was, except now you can just queue into them when you hit the appropriate level range, just like XIV now. I haven't played TERA since the Wonderland-esque patch dropped several several etc etc months ago, but the base game had a very interesting Main Story to it.

Becuase their ego and misplaced self importance makes them believe just becuase that is their preffered style that of course it must apply to everyone, or at least the vast majority. Based on experience with raiding in FFXIV, socialising with other raiders on Odin and just from the amount of players that post the cutscenes on youtube to share with others. The interest in seeing the story unfold during progression is pretty high amongst the raiding community here.

Not to mention players wanting a story mode of the raids to experience the story that has been posted about much more than once on the forums too adding to the overall happiness with it being story based. Don't forget the lore forums which is pretty active too showing even more that are interested in more than just getting the shinies.

But yeah, it pretty much turns into "I want this, so of course the vast majority must want it too otherwise if they disagree they are fanbois/girls. elitists, trolls (insert random insult meme here)".
