Kinda funny that you find talking to a ..well it's more like a badger then beaver a turn off,but yet you have no problems with getting quest from a giant slug??..Seriously, try a game out before bashing it. I've been playing mmo's quite a while now..and kinda now how stuff goes. I've been playing Tera during open beta weekend and that game is good..not great but good. One thing I will give it , that game will be more polished on release than this game is. I bought this game with what I wouldn't say high expectations (all mmos come out kinda rough)but was expecting my gaming experience to be better than it was. There are many problems and issues that I will not addressed because they have been said already,but with good product coming out they need to get addressed fast.And I got to give a +1 to everyone else when they say Diablo 3 shouldn't be compared to an mmo,it just isn't an mmo.If you first mmo was SWG then I can see why you want this game to succeed ( I myself started with Ultima Online ^^ ),I want this game to succeed.Don't get me wrong this is a good game,but not a good mmo.It should have been released as a console game with multi-player function. Try these other games out that you think look silly, you might be surprised. ^^:)
