A serious discussion about abridging the story quest 1-50 (discouraging new players)

I agree in a sense. Iv made a post about this as well. The new jobs should not of been story gated.

This is something I agree with. My wife was really excited about trying out the new classes ... until she found out they were level gated. She lost interest fast, and I've only been able to keep her interested with the new race showing her the benchmark character creation.

This much I can agree with. I still feel Ishgard access should be gated, but new jobs could have been handled better. One of the main draws for new expansions in XI was new jobs. I would have hated it if I needed to have Sea or Sky access in order to unlock BLU, COR, or PUP.

I think the new jobs should have been less strict. Make MCH require ARC at least 30 and LNC 15. Make AST require CNJ 30 and THM 15. Then finally, DRK could go either way with MRD and GLD just as long as one job was 30 and the other was 15. Then once these conditions were met, you get your new weapon, and you ideally have level 30 gear appropriate for the new job.

Please, please...not have been.

On topic, they could have put Astrologian in the Observatorium, and Dark Knight in Whitebrim...and Machnist...wherever they want, I have no idea of the lore behind it, yet
