This is total misinformation and it's not the first time someone has said it either.
The quests do NOT introduce you to the game mechanics at all....they are standard fare, linear quests just like any other PVE game would have.
BUT, you can ride a boat, build a house, farm, pvp and lots of other stuff...
Just please don't say that the quests in AA are for introduction to game mechanics...they are purposely put in there for progression's sake.
Unless Trion dumped a lot of quests from the other versions (Japanese and Russian), then you are wrong.
The first 15 levels should contain a quest that shows you how to buy, and train up a mount. Farm/gather/craft, do trade quests, place your first house (some kind of small farm animal hut thing), get your first glider and how to use it, how to use the transport system recall/portal and transports, getting skills, placing them on your hotbar, how to attack...what more do you really need?!?!?
"People who tell you youre awesome are useless. No, dangerous.
They are worse than useless because you want to believe them. They will defend you against critiques that are valid. They will seduce you into believing you are done learning, or into thinking that your work is better than it actually is." ~Raph Koster http://www.raphkoster.com/2013/10/14/on-getting-criticism/
Aside from the queue problem, I'm having a blast. I love crafting, farming, exploring. There is so much to do in the game. Imagine it will keep me occupied for quite some time.
