So I loved the game the moment I started going through tutorials and stuff but after reaching the main city i picked or whatever it’s called where everyone is running around, what exactly do i do next?

I came from other MMOs where you had to basically follow a linear or clear storyline that took you through quests automatically but in this game I noticed there wasn’t much of that to set me off questing. So do I just explore the world on my own now or something?

Is there something specific that I should be grinding or aiming for in the beginning? Some of the things I enjoyed doing in other games are customization, farming for loot/cosmetics, and like basically being told where to go next to complete quests. Does this game have any of that?
