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

Number 1 reason people buy expansion? To try out the new classes and level in new zones. Neither of those are possible with this expansion so no matter what anyone says this is the single most idiotic business decision a company can make. I am sure your precious "lore" will do you good when the number on purchases are abysmally low and they start decreasing development effort.

Lol, if they havent played the game all classes and zones are new.

Reading comprehension, ever heard of it? Who says they are new? Lots of the player-base are players that left in 2.0 after they hit 50, I am sure they cant wait to grind fetch quests to play the game and try out new classes.

Be sure to let me know if that happens (lol) Did you even read what you just posted? Just think about it for a few minutes.

You are speaking on behalf of the people who already hit 50 but haven't delved into 2.1 content. Fine, their prerogative.

Fortunately, these players are actually the ones set to benefit the MOST from Heavensward because of the changes to bonuses applied to all 2.1-2.55 MSQ. Gear will be handed to them on a silver platter, so no need to grind... anything, and they will actually enter Ishgard a few (possibly several) levels higher than the rest of us already done with 2.55.

Crymore, your thing isn't even a thing.

Whether they get the expansion or not, that content will still be new to them. No one's forcing you to buy the expansion right away, and the patch notes will explicitly state what's required to get the expansion content.
I really don't understand what the rush is. And if quests are such a problem, why would they be playing a Final Fantasy game? It's like booting minecraft up and getting annoyed that you have to mine and craft.

So they can't wait to grind fetch quests in order to unlock new fetch quests with different jobs?

For the love of the Twelve, there's only 100 lousy MSQ quests to do after you finish Praetorium. I did that in 2 and a half days because its not like they are LONG or HARD. Plus you open up Levi, Shiva and Snowcloak, Thornmarch, Chrysalis and Steps.

You get gil thrown at you in suitcases, as well as several materia IV rewards

Lol, I'm quite sure so many will be angry at all the content available to them now... too funny.
Also, Ninja will be new to them as well. Bet they will be so annoyed at all of the dungeons and conten between 2.1-2.5!
Oh wait, are the people you are talking about the few who will try the new classes for a week and then quit anyway, because you know, the only reason they bought it was the classes. I know thats what I look at when buying a game! "Whoa! This class is called Death Knight! So buying this game!"

"But Isgard! Think of the children!"

I had someone just today tell me it took them all of 1 1/2 days to do the entirety of the MSQ start to finish.

It's not a big deal. Gated content is not new. Heavensward is geared for level 50+ play. Suck it up and jump through the hoops.

That person is either lying or needs to go to bed.
