Still reading Quest Text

One of the best selling and most popular MMOs of all time.
Made by a multimillion dollar company.
19 years of development.
9 Expansion packs, each with a box price and a subscription.
And we are still sitting here in 2023 reading tiny blurry quest text in a small window with no voice over. The main part of the game is reading black text on a brown background. Can anyone tell me why?

I only listen to the voice acting.

People still read that stuff? I’ve been spamming through quest text and hitting Esc on cinematics for over a decade lol

Its both funny and sad when I find typos in quest text. Even after combing thru the beta twice to report them.

Ardenweald was THE WORST for this lol

I remember this being a problem going all the way back to Cataclysm. NOBODY reads the quest text, apparently. Even though it is supposedly the main content of the game.

I’d much prefer if they invested in voicing our characters than hire people to read lines about how they need 10 bear butts tbh.

One of the reasons i’m really attached to my GW2 main is the fact i went through the entire story with him. He really feels like he’s part of that world.

While in WoW our character just feel like an outside observer.

To be fair a good chunk of the dragonflight ones were fixed. Like how “wind mother” was sometimes “wild mother”

Ardenweald tho drove me nuts with how often a typo or repeated words happen

And I’m not even a master writer / grammar nerd. I just know the basics lol

Autoturnin best addon ever

I don’t even see the quest text. Just give me my xp and toy #5000 and move on
