I find it completely sad. (Questing)

So, your pretty much saying. The "best" way to learn about the game, is not playing the game?

I tend to think of FFXIV as more than just a game, but rather a service. There is soo much going on both inside and outside of the game that it really is fun to go on the forums/lodestone sometimes and get extra info. As with any video game there is always going to be info or content that doesnt get put in or fully realized because let's face it, the developers just may not have the time or money or in game space (resources) to show it all.

The articles they posted with Haurchefant on the Lodestone were a good read btw ^^ You should check it out! Stuff like that only adds to the experience. It's like old game manuals setting up the story for you in the manual, or give more depth to their characters.

Oh, and PS: I didnt say it was the "best"...
