right on and well worded, i have played sooo many mmorpgs and i dont really pay and attention to them at all, well cutscenes are a different story but then my aim is to get to max level asap and enjoy the endgame content and not doing quest day in day out what a grind even if the quest are interesting, it gets old after xx number of times.
What about the genre makes you willing to grind through 75-200 hours of gameplay that you dislike in order to get to the content you do like?

well if this is horrid pls do not play any mmorpgs just play single player type of games.
Please explain to me why this is a vital and immutable aspect of the industry?
"WoW sold a lot of copies" is the best argument I've ever heard.
endgame was wow's selling point the 24man raids, 6man dungeons, bg etc.., quest are only there to level up, have u been playing any lately????, at higher levels the quest are few and far between....
That has nothing to do with my point. And no, I haven't. Point is you can't use the excuse "It's just like all mmorpgs," or claim that mmorpgs can't be better.
well no developers has the guts to create something new, those that tried has failed, thats why developers are sticking to the same old proven formula, now why dont u put $$$ where your mouth is and create something new.
mmmh ..... no.
There are definetely developers with guts around trying to create something new so that's not a good excuse for the lack of courage of Tera's developers.
And the games that are using the good old proven formula at least are trying to sugarcoat and improve upon it.
See for example how WOW changed the old vanilla quests in Cataclysm.
Tera quest system on the other hand feels archaic like wow vanilla from 2004.
Enmasse at least recognized it and said they are working to improve it but i don't know how much they can do in just one month until release.
(to begin with they could hire writers that don't seem like 14 years old kids)
yep agree with what u said, but u know that a cake is still a cake and some cake has creams, fruits etc.., but if your are eating it for 15+ years every single day wouldnt u get sick of it..... its still a cake.
granted the tera side quests are plain vanila and the usual stuff, but then most of us are playing mmorpgs for the pvp,gvg, wvw etc. quest are just a tool to get to the end result it's not really that high up the list of must have:p

"most of us" i hope you mean the forum citizens because most of the players are playing for leveling and quests. PvP players are pretty niche.
So for the majority of the players quests are not just a tool to get to the end results : only a minority rushes to the endgame. Most of the players try to enjoy the travel and the exploration of the world.
Keep in mind that the vast majority will be casual players that will play 1-2 hours a day and they will take months to reach the cap. For these people questing and leveling IS the game.
Of course other people may have a different "must have" list.
