Hello
To give you some context: I'm a returning player after two failed attempts due to the looong questline at the end of A Realm Reborn, which had discouraged me.
For my third attempt, I was finally able to complete it, and here I am in Heavensward, where I've just completed a dungeon, The Aerie, and I am in my MSQ with Level 56 quests.
My current feelings: I think that a maximum of 30% of the quests consist of objectives where my character actually has to do something (find an item, kill monsters, complete a dungeon). And the rest is running around talking to an NPC who says two sentences, then a second who says one, then a third who says two more, and I go back to the first...
And often, in these cutscenes, my character has no effect on the unfolding of what's happening, their "contributions" being limited to either explaining what just happened (just the character's lips moving) or saying "yes" while nodding their head... To the point where I'm thinking it would be fun to create a character named Noddy The-mute (obviously, a Lalafell
In short, from the quests (which some call "the fedex suite") at the end of ARR until the beginning of Heavensward, the MSQ requires almost nothing from me, so in a way, if it were a text-based game, it wouldn't change much...
Now, I'm not saying that the game doesn't have a LOT of truly satisfying features. I'm ONLY talking about the MSQ here, and I wanted to hear from people who have completed the MSQ to see if they share my feelings, and if so, is the answer : "well, the game is designed like that, and the MSQ will be of the same caliber throughout each expansion."
Thank you in advance for your feedback.
