The name of the game is FINAL FANTASY XIV right there in the title. New Players should come in knowing there is an actual story to the leveling process and that it will be different from other MMOs that just drop you off in the intro area after a quick introduction to collect quests that say ey go over into them woods and kill the things and leave you to that until you hit the last tiers of leveling where you hit those new quests with no sense of accomplishment or no understanding of what happened when you switched into a new leveling zone. Each quest in the story progression builds from the last, building up the player understanding of the world and why they're doing what they're doing. Each great accomplishment letting you move farther and farther along and eventually accumulating into the final act (for the time) of the story arc where you're at.And then you're going about after those continuing to press changes in the wake of the upheaval you were front and center for.

Do some people like it? No not at all these are the self same people that like quick gratification and have no sense that small incremental progress is kind of a key to life as well. However that small percentage does not even come close to representing the far bigger majority that do enjoy it, and savour it ,and learn from it, growing even as the game does. it is the majority that enjoy it that are silent because they have better things to do than come into the forums and nitpick every single thing they find wrong with something. They're out there either enjoying Eorzea or doing the grand adventure of Real Life.
