MMOs started with the goal of being a fantasy world simulator, and somewhere along the line they ended up leaning too heavily on the crutch of quests to make the world feel alive. Quests are not needed if there is enough reasons to socialize. That being said, I don't want quests to be any bit interactive or immersive. Just give me the dumb list of goals that end up being a short cut to grinding. One of my biggest hates is when a game makes your camera focus on a NPC when you talk to them. ESO and ArcheAge come to mind. I don't want to talk to these objects. I don't want to hear them. They are never compelling or interesting. If I wanted compelling story or narrative I would enjoy it in a stand alone format like a book or show/movie. I play video games to be challenged, I play MMOs to be challenged with other people.
