I would only use quests to explain every aspect of the game so there are no instructions, or "hints".
Fun is collecting & trading stuff (SellBots & LawBots again), "There could be tax laws involved"...
How 'bout this... Learning new facts, making new friends, are REAL things you could take away from the game.
LawBots want me to believe some creep was busted for setting-up a meeting with a 5yr odl (in the news recently)... If my 5 yr old types his name right, I feel lucky. (Getting all wound-up again, sorry.

Fun is defined in different ways by different people. Personally, I hate buying and selling and do not find it fun. I do not like meeting new people everyday and find most infuriatingly clingly. (I'm level 16 with 3 friends on my list and that is enough) What I do like is the adventure of the game and the exploration of the world. I like trying to find the treasures, odds and ends, and paintings for my collection. And I like doing the quests. I like taking my ship out on the seas and sinking Navy and EITC ships. When I finish the main quest, would I do it all over again? I don't know, maybe.
Yes there is a ways to go in the writing and streamlining of this game. It is in beta and there will be a lot of issues going forward. The game is not meant to be close to perfect at this time and that is why we are here, to report issues no matter how big or small.
There is one thing I see in your posts and that is frustration. If any game, online or otherwise, causes me to not have fun, I stop playing it. You state the game "..could have been good.." and "mindless quests to make you think you are having fun.". It sure sounds like your not having a fun time at all and it may be time for you to move on to something that you feel is fun. (Please don't take this as an attacking statement)

PS: I really don't know where the story about the 5 year old fits into any of this. (Not being sarcastic, I don't see your point and I am sure there is one.)
