Why people have fun talking to a NPC to receive a buff is beyond me.
Why people have fun being shot to end-game by talking to NPCs and gaining exp for killing 5 monsters over and over in other MMOs is beyond me.

(Since when was it stated it'll be "fun" to do that?)

Honestly, it's almost as if you assume people never have a reason to return to a city for some reason other than to refresh a buff. We definitely played a different FFXI, because I remember going back to the city to set up AH sales, meet up with someone, get next mission/quest or get money from previous sales and while I was there I refreshed my signet/sanction.

Yes, yes it is shocking people go to a city for something other than to refresh signet.
