Am I missing something here, or am I just stupid? I thought the whole point of a game was to....well, play it?
People play games for different reasons. I for one would not be playing this game if it was not for my friends. I do not care about the story I simply care about taking part in content with my friends. Without story and job skip potions I doubt I would be playing FFXIV and if I was not playing FFXIV I would have no reason to spend extra on retainers or mog statioln items. It is an MMO that just so happens to have a focus on story, no one wants to take that story away from anyone. I play FFXIV for the social experience, maybe the MSQ would be bearable if the MSQ did not feel like a single player experience with lightly sprinkled multiple player experiences spread without. Maybe make it so groups can all story content from start to finish.
