Yes, it had quests. Which is why I expected a point to the quests. After all, I -still- after 6 years play FFXI. So believe me, I am happy to play games where the quests have no effect on my leveling and are provided for other purposes... but at least if they're there I expect a purpose and point.

And there is the point, I don't know -what- Mythic wanted me to see. But it certainly didn't provide any introduction to it. I have no trouble with PvP games either (mmmIcantwaitforAionretail), but a five second blurb on "You hate the other faction, now go fight", does not gameplay make. I've played deeper FPS's.

Now all the power to you if you love the game. But the article is about the failings of WAR to retain customers and after reading the reasons given in the article, I still feel it's missing the reality, which is that the game just isn't interesting to most. Not graphically, not lore wise, not quests, not PvP. Which I'm sure everyone that left the game had their own reasons for why it didn't grab them as customers. It still boils down to a lot more than "Wrath came out".
