Forcing us to the entire story quest to unlock the new classes is just bad business

That person just said that getting through that content is not that hard or an issue but people might not give it a chance because threads like these are just negative.
Sounds like a player issue.

Not that rare either. Go to any game's forums and you'll find people warning others that game is bad, don't buy it, for X reason.
Even if it's valid, people need to make their own decisions and the developers will never please everyone.

And i'm saying it's a problem that needs to be addressed...or not if square truly doesn't care about making more money. Too many apologist on this forum that think square can do no wrong and it's always the players/consumers fault. A bad business model is a bad business model regardless of your personal feeling on it.

Not that it particularly effects me since I've been playing since launch, however I have had friends who came back, became daunted at the sheer volume of quests they needed to complete in order to just GET to ishgard, and said (Snip) then quit again. It was really unfortunate.

The Heavensward questline has more quests on top of the ARR questline. Not to sound rude, but I highly doubt they would last long if that's the case. The new jobs being gated behind Ishgardian areas is pretty reasonable.

Also considering the fact that, Someone did mention that the jobs weren't really locked behind the expansion - just that unlocking it required you have access to Ishgardian areas.

To be honest, there are an equal amount of people on this forum who do think that SE does everything wrong and that it's never the player/consumers fault. Personally, I do appreciate the fact that SE focuses on the game itself rather than making something half-baked just for the money. It really shows how much they put into the game and how much they care about it; which not a lot of MMOs actually do.
