Dev team, please do not remove the importance of the MSQ

[gumas]

on personal level, iam on OP side, iam one of the people who really enjoy the MSQ in this game, i love the story, i dont mind the mundane fed-ex objective, i dont crave for the top 5% of the endgame, i play this game simply to enjoy the tale of the adventures.

on general level however, people tend not to like it yeah. everytime i see a thead (not in just this site) regarding mmorpg like "suggest me good mmorpg" or "is FF14 good?" etc, the answer is always... always the same, 'yes its good, its friendly, its fun, BUT, the pre 50 quest is a chore / the quest suck" kind of answer.

you cant help it though, this day many people play mmorpg so they can be the badass top 5% player so they can boast around, or just simply want to reach max level asap and get epic gear. these kind of people has almost no regard to story, and again the answer is mostly the same, "you want story? go play singleplayer game". for the defense, its does not limit to FF14, its pretty much happen with every game that has level progression system.

as for raid and dungeon, cant they just use something like "trust" system? instead of grouping with other people, you can just solo them with npc company. but this type of run will not give you "proper" reward, if you want the real reward you must play and group with real people. on the good side, you can use this type of run to "learn" the dungeon / boss mechanic.

so basically if you just got MSQ that require you to finish this dungeon, you can either group with real people (which give you real reward) OR use the "trust" system and solo the dungeon but it wont give you reward (maybe just a small sum of money and that's it), but either way if you finish it, you can continue your MSQ.
