Please Allow 50's to Enter Ishgard w/o having completed MSQ

[Spontaner]

It is really funny how many people whine about that you need to complete the MSQ before you can go to Ishgard.What did you expect?This is a FINAL FANTASY game,you should know that FF games are always story driven.I understand that this is not always good but hell,if you find this really annoying then go and play an other MMORPG,which suits you more.It is not like SE force you to play......or?(please help me yoshida wants to kill me if i doesnt agree with him xD)

If that is the case in regards to xiv then why did SE incorporate so many ways to hit max level in all the classes/jobs and be able to raid while easily by passing the msq?

There are some ways to circumvent the msq to do content, but I think saying it's "easily" passed is a bit dishonest. In general you've gotta do the msq to do most things, and even the things that don't technically require it will require something close, or requires you to go way out of your way to do so. The easiest way by far to play this game is by following the msq.

Firstly you can't raid without having completed the MSQ up to the end of 2.0 which is where all the 2.x content branches off from so nice try there. Not only that but anyone raiding would need to initially gear up using tomestones, of which at least one dungeon in each expert tier was locked behind that patch's MSQ so you needed to complete the MSQ to access the roulette.

Second, the diverse options for leveling exist mostly because the MSQ will only get one job to the cap. After that you need to level in other ways. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make because if you'd played the game you would know this.

This is the same person a few pages back who claimed you could get a relic without even doing much of the MSQ, which they're now saying you can easily "bypass" said MSQ. I smell shenanigans.

You cannot unlock any dungeons, primals, or Coils without doing MSQ. Not sure about the 3 CT raids though. It's been a while lol.

Yup, actually most of the level 50+ content is locked behind the completion of The Ultima Weapon, the final 2.0 storyquest.
