Oh so, ppl running out of the instance that was the transition to the Adventurers guild or trying to leave the adventurers guild before talking to the Starting NPC for the story quests wasn't a problem for you eh? It's not so much now with the quest icons above their heads though. but man it was mast confusion at launch if I remember correctly lol

And I agree, it would fit XI better. but XIV still suffers from a huge amount of text reading over complex issues. And trying to get the gist of things in between story text is difficult at times. Where they give you story from the NPC, but in purple text show what you have to type or push on your keyboard.

Doing Guildleves and how to utilize Guildleve history was a chore to figure out by reading the text alone. :P
