I don't know why people are defending this system to be honest. It changes nothing for you as you've already done the MSQ, it changes nothing for the people that actually want to do the story as they'll still be able to do it if they want to. It makes anything better for all the people that just want to get to Ishgard and all the content it has, including new jobs.

I just don't get why people would vote against something that has no downsides, only upsides.

I just don't get it.
