as for the rites....once completed you receive a non-trivial reward as well as a narrrative related to the rite, which lore buffs tend to enjoy. one would expect a person who has spent 1000s of hours ingame to be aware of this.

Interesting analogy although if looked at from a subscription cost point of view. If that game you suggest is a Corolla, then that would NOT make this a BMW or Merc, probably make it more like a Robin Reliant. Wonder if there's as many people play this as people still owning a Robin Reliant.
As for McDonald's, I have no idea as it's not the sort of place I'd ever eat in.
Even though I played this for many months over the years and 1000s of hours. The missions in this game I've never found to be that intersting and the fact they are repeatable makes them even less interesting. At least the missions before patch 1 had decent dapper rewards, useful for the early stages of the game. After patch 1 the only reason I did any missions was for faction gain otherwise I'd have never bothered with them. Most gamers are not that interested in the Lore of a game only RPers really value this imo and the vast majority of gamers are not RPers.
As for rites, they maybe an RPers paradise, but I only ever did 1 or maybe 2 and never found them that interesting. Certainly not interesting enough to make me think that people would be flocking into the game to play them.
I still don't think you need to put loads of quests into this game to make it more interesting but the one factor this games really needs is people as this game will never work properly without them (imo ofc, thought I better add this
).
Edit: Going back to the Lore there are inconsistencies anyway, like the 4 starter isles that were magically removed from history and history rewritten to accommodate Silan.
