Why does everyone's past have to be so tragic?I mean, literally every single backstory so far has included at least one lost/missing loved one/family member. What's up with that?

Why would you want to have a boring, basic character with no depth who had an easy life until they went and decided for no reason to join a guild. I'm not saying its a bad character or a bad idea, just not interesting, doesn't have a motive or purpose for doing things. What if the story of King Arthur started with his dad going "Hey Arthur, you're king now my dude. Here's a sword and a group of nice guys who will fight along side you and die if you ask. Oh and a crazy old wizard we found in the closet you can have he should make for a zany tale. Now you go off and have fun champ!" Feels just colorless and bland.
