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

@RichardButte:
Bite the bullet man.

It's painful, but bite it. I returned to the game after a long time . I had to pick up from "Pass a Small Hest" which was right around the beginning of the 7th Astral era. I did about 104 quests in 3 days. Sh18 almost turned me into a lunatic.

I think I'll tell you what I learned from it.
It's a very very horrific, painful and a very boring experience. People who are saying it's amazing part of the story and somehow they did amazing things by accomplishing the "hero of light"..by running from point A->B->C->A->C->B->B->C->A->C->B->A->C->B->B-> are delusional and you should let them feel that they accomplished a lot by reading quests that meant nothing 90% of the time.

However, In their defense(and I've played a lot of MMORPG's), this game, by the looks of it IS a story driven game. That's just the nature of it. Locking classes behind the MSQ is stupid, I agree. Infact, as soon as you hit lvl 30 on MSQ, you should have access to new classes so you can just continue playing on new classes instead of literally doing the whole MSQ on a class you don't give a Sh18 about, but I suppose that's the design of the game, however shallow it may be.
And don't get frustrated when people take your words and twist and mold it into stupid sh1* like somehow you don't want to help friends, that sort of idiocy has it's own special place in all forums and you'll find enough people subscribing to that mindset here.

SO really, in closing, instead of getting frustrated, just go through the whole damn story, the game is a good game overall but you have to endure the painful parts.
