Char level vs. MSQ level: Go west, craftman

Hello All

First of all, I wish you All a happy new year!

With my alt, I got confirmation of something I had already noticed with my main: Our level is progressing faster than the MS quests level.

The problem with that, is that at times, we have side quests that get completed, but we can't pick up the reward because the NPC is located somewhere not yet released by the MSQ.

Example: The quest "Go west, Craftman". I have it fully done but can't pick up the reward, because the NPC is located in Idyllshire, that is not yet unlocked by the MSQ.
It puts me in a weird situation: The splendor vendor is standing in Ishgard, but isn't unlocked so I can't buy gear (I can get only level 50 gear with tomes or buy on the market board where there rarely is something or crazy expensive).

My question: Was it ever discussed that the last reward of that quest should be placed in Ishgard (instead of Idyllshire), that is the place where we start with level 60 gear?

The expect the MSQ to be caught up to your level, so if it's not, then quests may direct you to places you can't get to.

Most of the time, not being caught up on MSQ will cause quests not to even appear in the first place, but there are exceptions sometimes with job quests, or quests that were added in patches and may have not considered MSQ progress but just level.

Most expansions don't let you buy gear for battle jobs from tomestone vendors until you beat the MSQ for that expansion, and splendors vendor is like the same thing but for crafters/gatherers. I think Heavensward is an exception where it allows you to do it upon reaching Idyllshire, but that is pretty close to the end of that expansion.
