If you don't get it, it's probably not for you. The game is heavily story based and this goes for all quests and side quests. Lot of fetching stuff from a point to another for half of the game and the other half is fighting things, improving your gears and learning jobs.

Some people like Final Fantasy and all of its references, the gameplay (that gets pretty good later) and the story, hence its massive popularity. You can also be all jobs on one character. Everything that's good about a mmo is here to be found for most of its players.

Fair thanks, I guess it's just not for me...

That's just ARR, once you get past that and into Heavensward the game will take off.
As someone who has a lv90 class and leveling sage and a few others.
It just takes time to grind through ARR.
Just know that the starting classes/jobs will have you kill this or that for the initial quest ace you unlock a class.
Though the jobs, what I call the crafters and gatherers will have you fetch this or that.
Also, what makes it so popular, is the fact you can leave and return back at any time.
I've taken weeks off between playing and return back, so don't write it off yet.

It's okay, to be honest. No shame in a game not being for you. We have so many mmos out there and it's impossible to play all of them. Also impossible to like all of them. You may not like this one or some of its design choices and there's nothing wrong with that.

I hope you'll find a mmo you enjoy. There's at least one for every kinds of players.

You're too kind cheers :D

Fundamentally the game doesn't change even in Heavensward - you're still talking to people and fetching items. What does change is everything around it and why things are the way they are. If you're looking for a more dynamic action-packed storyline, that's not here.
