But they do and for the ones that really aren't...then the whole statement is completely unnecessary. Like that's the entire argument, if you think XIV is the only MMORPG that's story driven, you need to actually play one. If you don't...then why even state it? Why act so shocked if someone skips the story?
That sounds unhealthy.
Also, small question - is FFXIV not a story driven MMO then...? If saying "FFXIV is a story driven MMO" triggers you, but you claim that ALL MMOs are story driven... I'm not quite sure what to make out of that right now.

And please tell when I acted shocked that someone would skips the story? It doesnt shock me when someone does that, I just think that its weird they picked a game with so much story if all they wanna do is skip that - but I couldnt care less about how people end up playing the game as long as it doesnt interfere with what I'm getting. And since I mainly want a good story I care about the devs putting their focus on writing and developing one.
I dont think that FFXIV is the only story-driven MMO and I think I'm telling you this for the fourth time now? I only think that for FFXIV the story is more of a focus for the devs than it might be in other games ("more of a focus" doesnt equal "other MMOs dont have a story at all). If FFXIV had as much story as other MMOs we wouldnt get people here who complain that there are to many quests to do and to many cutscenes to watch. If every MMO was like FFXIV you wouldnt complain how this one "froces" its story on you while others dont.

All we're saying is that in the spirit of other FF games its unsurprising that this MMO "makes" you go through a long and involved story with cutscenes that give you warning "this might take a while now" - and if that isnt for you, that if you want a game that says "I dont really care wether or not my players go through the story" then I'm sure there are games like that out here.
