    Don't fret I am but one person (as are you) we don't have the power to change things on our own, hence why we have these forums.

    The offline RPG genre is based on story, the online one is based on working together to complete content (normally in the form of slaying a particular monster or conquering a specific dungeon) and getting rewarded for doing so.

    Humans are naturally greedy so yes loot generally becomes the bane of the experience but that's just the way we are.

    Ninja looting and rude players are not inherent to just WoW ya know.

    I play games for the story, I don't care what game it is.. I play em all for the story. But rewards are always great, Makes everything seem worth it. Kinda makes you think "Why do ppl try so hard just for an achievement" The shiny little title is a reward too. A perfect balance of Story, game play and reward makes a great game. :3

    Indeed, I am a fan of the story telling in both this game and FF11, it does set them both apart from other MMO's out there.

    I didn't mean to come across as being opposed to it, just looking at it from the overal view of what other MMO companies do in general.

    Final Fantasy wouldn't be Final Fantasy without a good story.

    Wasn't trying to call you out, Just trying to explain that ppl come for both not one.

    edit: I play games for the story because i can't be asked to read a book. I'm too lazy to read a book, so i like to enjoy the interactive and large world that gaming and movies bring.
