I really wish people would stop with this "iTs A sToRy BaSeD mMmOoOOOO" yeah so are ALL MMOS They're mmoRPGS, every single one has lore, every single one has a reason for why you're doing whatever it is you're doing. Have you people never played any other mmo?

Also people may not openly complain when someone does small pulls but in voice comms and irl, a lot of people do.

Some MMOs are focusing more on the story than others, like GW2, SWTOR and FF XIV. I cannot speak for WoW anymore (only did quests and levled alts till Cata), but all of the "deeper"/more interesting story was gated behind raids, unless you count WotLK and Cata for introducing phasing and mini-storys per quest hub.
