I was hoping for actual WAR content in 3.0 you know...because of the opening cinematic and the whole Dragonsong WAR. Nope. Just more autonomous FATEs and random loitering mobs in a world space that seems completely separate from all the events in the MQ cutscenes. I loved the VALOR system in XI even with the somewhat loose connection between areas that would ultimately give the server the opportunity to undertake special boss missions that gave unique rewards. All the epic stuff happens around the character unless its the highly scripted mechanic hallway called duty finder.
