Anyone else annoyed by the story quests ?

And what I mean by annoyed is I feel like every time i am in my "Instanced personel story quest " I am thinking about being out in the game world and what potential DE i could be missing or what valuable "exploring time " I am wasting . I know people will respond "Well you don't have to do them" but as a somewhat completionist I feel compelled to finish my story quests , Plus the rewards are very good.
I guess A-net is to blame for making their game world so alive and awesome that I feel like the instancing of story quests kinds of breaks my immersion in game. Anyone feel this way ?

Lol, I am 10 levels behind on my personal story...
But the point of the game is to have fun so just enjoy yourself, you can always do it later.
If it's not broken, you are not innovating.
Playing as an asura I am finding them engaging and fun.
But then asura are just pure entertainment right through. So much comedy
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Played only PVP..lvl 25 now.
I could care less about stories and PVE.

I honestly didn't get the fuss about SWTOR's personal story myself... it didn't impress me any more or less then GW2s.
Speaking as an asura, the scripting and voice acting in mine has been first class, often laugh out loud.
i agree asura are hillarious.. actually only voice acting and story that starts to get annoying to me is norn in some places and some of the sylvari but aside from that i'm enjoying them all.. i also like my choices in the CC actually effecting parts of my story.
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall.

I don't force myself to do the story quests, and some times I just want to roam around or do something mroe story based. Works out fine.
Right now i am about to choose one of the three orders and I am fairl ycurious hwo that plays out. The carnival bit with the grizwhorls was pretty good too. Best human story so far.
My only problem with the Story Quests is that they oftne send you with NPC companions and thus increase the amount sof mobs you face.Problem is they ignore the friendly NPCs and go straight for you necessitatign a lot of dodging,evading and ranged kiting just to stay alive.
Not a huge issue but annoyign none the less.
Ditto, I think it's one of the best in the game and really captures the feel of race perfectly. The voice acting is actually pretty decent in the Asura story as well.
Edit: as far as missing out on the DE's since they happen somewhat randomly, there is really no way to tell if you're missing out on anything or not. Besides, you can always revisit the zones later on. So just play the game and enjoy.
I enjoy the stories. I don't feel like I'm missing out of "other stuff" when I'm still doing things I like.
It'd be like saying "anyone feel annoyed by DEs because I'm thinking about how much WvWvW I could be doing?"
Really. After so many posters in other games beaching about lack of content, someone complaining about content is a touch on the wild side.

I was under the impression that when people talk about "lack of content", they automatically imply "lack of enjoyable content", but perhaps I am wrong there.
I absolutely agree. I consider myself a very skilled gamer - and on my theif at level 20 - doing personl story quests has proved EXTREMELY difficult - that is, until I switch to my pistols and run circles for 3-4 minutes. Necessitating kiting can get a bit old, I suppose is my fear.
As you said - not a huge issue, but annoying.
I actually find the story quests interesting, which I couldnt say for the slew of MMORPGs I have played prior. But completely agree with your delimma of wanting to go out explore and find other cool things. I am an Asura Engineer and find the technology-induced story surpringly compelling.
In BWE I played a Norn and did not like that story as much, so I think finding the right one is important too.
Agreed, the story instances are a tad too difficult.
