Unlike the console versions(and classic?) we start with all quests unlocked, so the only reasons to do the story quests are to unlock stuff like the npc that do enemy parts exchange and add hit to those weapons, also there's a govt quest or two that's decent too farm certain weapons.
It happened only on pso and maplestory, but it was like 6 months ago then I decided to quit both since I couldn't figure out what was causing it even when I looked at the event viewer.
Hopefully that will solve the problem I was having last time I played where my pc would crash every time I joined someone's game, not that I care much about not playing solo anyways but still would be neat so I can finally put my vise to use.
There is another way as well by pressing F4(or was it F2?), it isn't nearly as optimal but it can be easier getting used to, especially if you're playing on a controller as FO, cast/caseal or do gear swaps(not just weapons) often.
