why i quit before reaching endgame (feedback from a new player)

[ElroyDrundan]

I have a couple of thoughts about this.

First on all the cut scenes. I have never like how many there are. Me waiting for 5 secs, while I wait for a head nod, or for the npcs to walk away. I simply detest most of them.

Keep in mind, for this game to thrive the game has to continually attract new players. Other big games have figured this out. It is unrealistic to expect new players to play by themselves for months while they catch up to friends and the current expansion.

I've never been a fan of the MSQ, well I like the important parts but I could have skipped about 60% of it with no issue. Also I don't remember most of the the ARR story, sure I know the main characters but 80% of it is simply forgettable. I'm not sure what the answer is, but with each expansion this new player barrier becomes greater and greater. I for one want this game to stick around and attracting new players is key.
