Endless quest texts. This is why I can't get into FFXIV (I'm only level 20 though but still). Worse, they added a few sound effects in some dialogues but the voice acting is missing. I really wish they didn't include these sound effects, as they're extremely basic and non-immersive. In WoW, I installed an addon called Immersion. It makes the questing more immersive. They also lack voice acting in quests, but seemingly less (it doesn't bother me, but I still don't read the quests much). How to solve? TTS. Allow a proper, American English or British English male or female voice (or just a couple) and I can listen to the quest while running around to the objective. The music is fabulous, btw. In both games. And also, both games allow addons which is awesome (GW2 doesn't and neither did SWTOR when I played it back in the days). Its possible I find the lack of voice acting annoying in FFXIV because the game is not yet challenging which makes me wanna rush. Or perhaps its some kind of desire to quickly level up, as inherited from previous MMORPGs.

It's true that they've taken a kind of "don't ask don't tell" policy on add-ons, but it's far to say that they support add-ons the same way WoW does. GW2 also supports add-ons to the same extent as FFXIV. > Its possible I find the lack of voice acting annoying in FFXIV because the game is not yet challenging which makes me wanna rush.

The dialogue writing in FFXIV and the text delivery in general is not great, even though I did greatly enjoy the characters and story. Still, there is plenty of bad dialogue, and it's usually delivered far too slowly for my tastes, and with lots of random pauses for things like unskippable character emotes.
