FFXIV shows what's wrong with MMOs (Not what you think)

[Remedi]

... yes it did. It had lots of stories. What it didn't have early on was a single overarching plot. That came later. But there was stories all over the place and vanilla, and TBC had every zone basically telling a story.

Fair enough, but I was idd referring to plot and overall story, not mini stories which were idd presents but not really a game plot and frankly the game was sold on the idea of exploring the warcraft world not really just a continuation of it.
Frankly some plot points of tbc were kinda well hidden.
I also have the feeling that they kinda rewrote some of the bosses lore from tbc and wotlk when they added the dungeon journal
