I find it completely sad. (Questing)

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

You see, a lot of games are plagued by the fact that if they try to insert all of their lore directly into the gameplay, there's players that will complain about it or just tab through it all without really absorbing it *COUGH* because then suddenly they have too much to read, it's more like picking up a book, it doesn't feel like a game anymore, yadda yadda.

Therefore they put a good chunk of the lore in supplemental materials so that people who actually care about that stuff have to go seek it out.

This was my problem with WoW. I bought the warchest or how it is called a few months ago just to try it out and each quest was a huge wall of text. I read ALL quests in ALL the games I play but I just couldn't get myself into it in WoW. I really like how FFXIV does it, you get small bubble with 2+- sentences and the whole quest is done in a few bubbles (there are exceptions ofc). When I feel like exploring more about the lore I can always find it online, but I don't feel like I missed something because I got lost in the walls of text.
