Main scenario quest line...

[Nadirah]

Nobody forces you to do it.

No? SE kinda does.

You see, you have to do the main scenario in it's entirety to start HW from what I've seen from *everywhere* and with a month left to go, there's going to be people that aren't there yet.

I started a few weeks ago with a friend of mine. I'll have 0 problems being caught up by then, but he's currently 24 and has 3 hours a day tops to play. Between queue times and in general slowness because he likes to absorb the story before moving on, he's likely to not have it finished by the time the expansion hits.

When no one is doing those instances anymore.

Essentially preventing him from moving on to the main scenario in HW.

Who the hell thought this was a good idea?

You're forgetting that there are 3 new jobs comming out that start at 30, I for one will be switching to Dark Knight ASAP once the expansh hits and i know quite a few other people will be switching to the new jobs as well..not only that but there are quite a few people who make alts (still don't understand why you would in ffxiv) that still need to finish the MQ.

Not to mention there are quite a few people who have bought the FFXIV + Heavensward bundle that won't get in game until the expansh actually launches (players who buy the bundle wont get the base game till heavensward launches).

So not only will there be a huge influx of tanks and healers, there are going to be quite a few people that are returning or starting the game brand new

That doesn't count duty finder.

If you can enter a dungeon without the required number of people...you won't need duty finder. Seeing as how you'll likely be 50 before he hits 30 you can enter a dungeon with him and more than likely wreck the place for him
