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

Sorry but a brand new player shouldn't just be allowed into a new area just because he is new. All I see is a staxk of excuses just to get alts into Heavensward with little to no work. The grind isn't even a grind. Get story done and you lvl at the same time. It's win win.

Exactly, why would they even play/buy a game if it was to skip 90% of it. They could spend money om something else then.

Considering that with the EXP buff to MSQ, it will most likely be, by far, the fastest way to level a new character (like WAY faster than the mind-numbing FATE grind some people call "fun"), there is absolutely no reason why new players shouldn't want to do the MSQ. If they don't care about the story, they can just skip all the cutscenes and dialogues. Though as already said, if they don't care about the story, why are they playing an FF game?

Access to new JOBs being gated is weird, but even access to the rogue CLASS is gated, and the new jobs don't have base classes and start at 30, so yeah...

So you would let start new players in Isghard, as a lvl 30, with no knowledge and knowing if they set one foot out of Isghard they get killed by a lvl 50+ mob?
Or would you want that everybody starts from lvl 1 again, and that all new zones have mobs from lvl 1 till 50+?

Even if they make the jobs available outside of Isghard, you would need to have a lvl 50, and yeah, why would Isghard even let you pass?

And no point in saying to let them start as an AST/DRK/MCH in one of the 3 city states, since there is no guild for them. (BTW, we never start as a job, we start with a class. AST/DRK/MCH = JOB)

Short answer. Yes. Let them start at lvl 1. New players don't give a flying f*k about the story sorry. They want to play the game. This game contrary to popular belief is not hard. Tedious yes. Hard no.

This is just an elitist " i had to do it so new players should have to as well" mentality and last i checked this is a horrible way to bring in new players which this game needs to survive.

So you wanna downgrade the zones, and have lvl 50 players with ilvl 120+ go in new zones with mobs lvl 1? Wow thats fun /sarcasm

And don't speak in general, it's not because you don't give a damn about the story, that other don't.
And as many said before, this is an FF game, so story is very important. Isghard is locked due the story/lore.

Not happy? Deal with it.

thats all it really boils down to in the end... it really isnt about the new players at all most just use that instead of saying NO i dont like content being gated.. so try to look better by pretending to think about the "new" players but in reality only thinking about themselves :P

I would REALLY love to see your source for these claims.
They don't care about the story? This is an FF game! It's HIGHLY story-focused!
They want to play the game? They ARE playing the game by playing the story!

Cmon man you can think better than this. Let them start in the old zones at lvl 1. No need to even add new content. Easy.

I am your source. I am a new player "less than 3 months" I didnt give a flying F about the story. I liked the artstyle and the characters. The story was tedious and just something i needed to get done in order to play the astro like i originally wanted to. I realize a lot of people play for the story I am not one of them. I play for +1 better gear and being the best at my class i can be. That's my motivation the story has zero to do with that.
