No thank you. The importance of the story and how lore is integrated into the MSQ is one of the key things I enjoy the most about XIV. There are eleventy million MMOs that push that lore and world-building and other things of importance into side areas. This one is allowed to be different and some of us who ran the gauntlet of those other MMOs over the years greatly appreciate that difference.

Dawntrail's problems are in writing, pacing, and presentation. That doesn't mean those elements that have enriched the story and allowed it to be the main way of leveling your first class need to be taken out.

I don't say this often, but if those other MMOs are offering the sort of experience that you want, please go play those. *Please* don't come here trying to ruin it for those of us who are enjoying those elements in this one. Not every MMO has to be for every single person.
