Yeah I kinda dislike that approach to MMO storylines, it's hard to suspend one's disbelief that you're "the chosen one" when there's a conga line of chosen ones behind you waiting for you to get on with it and start some story quest. Bonus points if they're all clipping through you lol.
There are some that take the MOBA type approach of just letting you go in a not-so persistent world with the story of the season going on that happens regardless if people participate in it or not, but if there are any quests they tend to be kinda generic and get old fast.
There are few that can manage a good middle ground, if any. I could never get into EVE Online but I respect their organic-ish approach to this, where the players make the story.
