    In fairness, I'd sorta be in agreement on the story assessment. It's one of the reasons I've never really understood the complaints against the 2.x quests. Sure, there's a lot of fetching and back and forth. But, to me, that just sorta sums up every quest everywhere in every expansion. Go there, talk, go there, talk, go there, kill the thing, talk, go there, grab the thing, talk. Stripped down to bare basics, it's not always entirely engaging. But, same can be said for nearly everything, I'm sure.

    But, this isn't to say I really dislike any of it. More like, I understand that just seems like the expectation for MMO quests. Some of it will inevitably feel like busywork. Cuz yeah, devs want to keep you busy and subbed. And, to some extent, is just the limitations of the system/mechanics. You could probably strip down any old FF game to a similar series of actions. It just seems more apparent with the quest system in the MMO setting.

    Idk. Story is a bit of a contentious point, I guess. I can see where most complaints are coming from. Much as I want to get into it, I honestly kinda just don't super care. I try, but sometimes the tedium digs too deep. Might also blame the "blank slate" aspect of our main character. I'd rather project an idea of stoicism and disinterest in my character that simply doesn't work with the scripting necessary to drive the story, so, kinda takes me out of it.

    All that said, I can still appreciate and respect the work that goes into it, and even if I'm not super gripped by the plot, I can at least enjoy it for what it is.

    While there are clearly other issues here, the forum information about your "main class" has to be set manually, and separates classes and jobs.

    If someone is a high-level [class], that's probably their starting class, and they just haven't updated it or switched it to their actual main job yet.

    Not even WHM soulstone equipped.
    Skipped everything probably didn't know and didn't care there's class change and class quest system.
    And complained the classes don't have impact etc., only tried one class, not even did the class quest...

    Ouch. Missing all the things that make WHM enjoyable too. No Regen, no instant-heal emergency spell, no Holy explosions.

    It's true, he didn't unlock nor do anything.
    You said all classes play the same, yet you didn't even unlock White Mage for Conjurer and have no other classes unlocked??
    Well, classical WoW player, even his attitude matches the average WoW player behavior.

    Hello OP!
    You seem terribly frustrated but you also didn't really unlock a lot of things. It is almost as if you are trying to eat soup with a fork right now.
    Do try to unlock white mage and get your job crystal, at this level it's insane to be without it. Try other classes, maybe healing isn't for you. Try tanking or dps perhaps.
    Maybe you'd like gathering or crafting? Please unlock mounts, use your chocobo too!

    And at the end, it's a game and if you are so angry as to swear at people who are trying to understand and guide you to a better experience then, yes perhaps this game is not for you.
    Good luck!
