Why punish players who just want to play DoL DoH?

[GenJoe]

No, I'm ready to get caught up.. I already have my combat class at the ready to tackle it, it's just annoying that I have to do it in order to satisfy SE's idea of lore accuracy when there are so many other things wrong with it than this one little thing.

it means you're playing the wrong game.

In an MMO, that's a very hard argument to win, lots of people have different ways of playing the game and for a good reason, I sure as hell wouldn't want to gather all my own mats for crafting.. and I'm sure you wouldn't want to craft all the low level gear that you can just buy from other people etc..

So basically, we're in an interconnected society where each person has a role to fill. A new chapter is about to open, and only the warriors are allowed to go there, everyone else on the fringe will have to take out their training swords and get fightin'.

I've accepted that to be the case, I'm ready to do my MSQ, but it still doesn't change the fact that it's more than a minor annoyance for really, not a very good reason.. To keep RMT out of Ishgard? To make the lore accurate? Come on, I could really use a better reason than that to get through all dem quests.

I can get all my gear from dungeons so invalid.

Okay then.. let's make it food/potions for raids? Are you completely self sufficient? I know a few people who are, but they are very very rare..
