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

[RichardButte]

what dont u get I PLAY THIS GAME BECAUSE STORY GATES STUFF...ie i enjoy having to to do everything to get access to x instance if it give me access without doing everything it defaets the damm purpose of gating it in the 1st place

Then SE can have a checkbox in the options that says "Gate Content Behind Story Quests" for people who want strange and bizarre things like this.

Problem solved.

Richard, you don't seem to get it.

I get it fine. I've been arguing for removing the necessity of using the story quest to gate content, and no one has posed anything loosely resembling a counter argument.

And the fact that you don't understand that people want to do stuff with their friends instead of grinding story content solo is not worth arguing any more.

I've been playing through the HW MSQ with my fiancee and finding it lots of fun, just as I did with the MSQ from 50. If I had to do this alone, yeah, probably wouldn't enjoy it as much, but 3.0 cut way back on the fetchy parts of the MSQ.

I know you've been saying it's the same (because it suits what you think is an argument), but it's nowhere near as bad as the 350+ quest slog at 50.

And yeah, I can only see making the MSQ non-mandatory as a good thing.
