Then, as I said, they should be going into the game fully aware that's the way it is. They can skip the story if they don't want to do it. Beyond that, what more do you want? This is not like many story games where you can't even skip cutscenes (not even on second playthroughs). The only cutscenes forced on your is Praetorium, beyond that a player who isn't interested in the story can just press ESQ and click "Skip Cutscene" from the moment they log in. There's many people who play the game and have never done the story and don't complain because it ISN'T completely forced upon them, but they still accept the story ties into the game and a lot of content is going to revolve around that leaving them not as much to do as opposed to less story-focused games.

Again, I repeat, just play another game. Why can you not accept this as an answer? There is nothing wrong with catering to a niche audience, going for mass-appeal and trying to be like every other MMO is not necessarily the right move and I'd strongly rather they did not, and it's certainly not how the game became as popular as it has.
