How will new players perceive this game? (A pessimistic outlook)

[Azurymber]

The only purpose a quest is to share a story, no matter how small. After that the player is rewarded for learning this story. I play tons of rmp and I learned to look at everything. I do not do things for sake of a reward, and that is the problem now. People only do things for sake of reward and could careless about anything else. You kinda just proved that by over looking the stories I shared with even simple fetch quests from ffxi.

you just prooved my argument so we should drop this. This is a thread about how new players will percieve the game. not about if quests are good or bad. You just admitted people don't care about these quests. Which is -the problem-
