Seriously. After decades of playing MMOs:
-
Why are there separate options to equip weapons, equip armor, and look at my inventory?
-
Why do "client orders" come from the Daily Quest girl, plus others?
-
Why do "client orders" automatically deposit your rewards, while the ones you get from Rebecca require you to go to ... you know what, I forgot again. Let me go through a hundred menus to figure it out.
-
Why is it so hard to group with friends? Spent half and hour + googling to figure this out to join my spouse who is sitting 5 feet from me.
-
Why, after hours, do I still not know how to drop a mission? Quest? Client order? What the hell is the difference? Spouse and I ended up logging out to reset everything.
-
Why do I have to claim title awards from a special NPC?
-
Why does the game not tell me I have to visit a particular NPC to access my skill tree?
-
Why do I have to go to multiple consoles to either accept rewards and access my storage? And that one menu option I forget to access mission rewards.
-
Why is it so hard to see a list of missions and client rewards I have? Why do I have to go two separate places when they serve the same function?
-
Why the need for a bajillion different currencies? Cubes, SG, whatever the cash shop currency is, Photon whatsits, Rare Weapon Tokens ... couldn't this all be consolidated for sanity?
-
Why do things tell you "Can be traded for many items" but not give you a clue as to where to trade them?
-
Why does the party leader accept the quests for Rebecca, but party members each have to pick up their own client orders?
... Just a few samples of someone new to the game having the gameplay itself be tainted by a madcap implementation of information and menus. I even had to google how to buy a sub, and even then, per your own manual, still had to mess around ingame with my personal quarters to even get the option to buy a "Premium Set" (which does not imply subscription to me based on terminology, but whatever).
Do you not want money?
Does this setup, unless you've messed with it for hours and Forrest Gumped your way through the menus make sense?
I think not.
