I do not know, I have always thought that it would be obvious, but I suppose it never was...
Think about a mission, you take it like today, and you have a location to go, in space or today also on planets. The mission tells you where to go, etc. needed info. You go there, creates mission instance, you do the mission, you return and get a reward. Informs that "take your friends with you", if the level of danger is assumed to be high. And earns more than just farming trade/res.
In January 2015, I thought that there will be something this simple soon, like in month or two. It is 2016, and there is none.
Think about an MMORPG without quests? You just drop the players in the world, there is no reason for you to do anything. And you cannot really achieve much. You can move and fight in the world, and to watch the graphics the design team created.
You kill endless spawns on some field, called monster extermination site.
You walk between two cities, between two vendors, hours, days, weeks, months.
Then they make a huge update, from which you pay 50€. They add dungeons. You can mine iron and copper, and other materials from there. Craft new weapon boosters, and horse shoes to move faster. And well, of course kill some rats and bats if you so like to. There is of course some other locations as well, which do not really have any purpose, but those just are there, just because, because.
Sounds like seriously bad content in that mmorpg.. Well, time to play some more Elite...
