In regards to him saying there wasn't anything cool to do…

You're on Dire Marsh, and a big UESC ship comes in overhead. It starts to lockdown the area, and a popup comes that says "Leave area immediately".

If you follow the instructions the game gives you, then you will have no chance to even KNOW there's a lucrative event inside the lockdown. If you use anti-virus packs, you can stay inside and do a kind of wave clearing activity for lots of loot.

So… why does the game tell you to leave? Is it any wonder he thinks there's nothing to do when the game is actively telling you NOT to do the events? If you wanted to preserve the sense of discovery… why say anything at all? Just let players discover what it all means instead of actively steering them away.
