2.55 Main Scenario Requirement.

[Rendecrow]

Note that the Binding Coil of Bahamut, Crystal Tower arc, Hildibrand Story, Extreme Primals, and even the Relic quest is completely optional and will not be required for Heavensward. There is a ton of content available that isn't all that easy for new players that COULD have been required to play Heavensward, but they're not. All that's required is the Main Scenario Quest and I don't think that's too much to ask for.

Did I not just post:

Good luck doing it in only a few days or a weekend as a new player! O.o When I said the quest chain only takes 6 hours or so, that's assuming you have ilvl 90 gear. If you have to grind out the gear and do extra raids (like crystal tower) it very well could take weeks for someone to get ilvl 90 gear and clear the quest chain. Especially since not as many people will be playing the old content and queue times for dungeons and raids will go up. As a dps I already wait 10 to 15 minutes for trials, 20 minutes for raids, and sometimes 40 minutes for dungeons. Those queue times will probably double when no one is doing them....

Everything but story is optional??? huh? I don't think so.
