It kind of sucks being a new player

Basically what I'm getting is that they did nothing besides MSQ and lvl to 60. Now its bitting them in the ass since they now have to go back do GC quests to rank up for hunts, unlock all the side quest dungeons/ run them all to unlock roulettes ect.

Shouldn't of rushed to 60 then. Game has a lot of fun dungeons. Coulda enjoyed it instead of going full speed ahead.

When an MMO expansion comes out, and someone buys that expansion, the general hope is to be able to play the expansion and not content that has been irrelevant for over a year.

MMOs are social games; part of the fun is to experience things with people. You lose something when you're constantly playing catch up. It's like finally getting around to watching a movie years after it was popular. No one cares that you just saw Catch Me If You Can for the first time. No one wants to talk about it. You missed the boat.

You don't buy The Burning Crusade to farm Scholomance for a month.

None of that content is irrelevant and nothing is stopping them from farming Law Tomes and doing Alexander.
The only thing that's irrelevant at the moment is Coil and Crystal Tower. High Level dungeons are still being run daily for exp and relic upgrades.

Well Op everyone pays their dues that is how it goes in life and in game. Each time I take an alt up yeah running all that sucks, having to wait until sastashia is old news before you can run it first time, grinding MSQ to unlock dungeons and leves, it feels like wading through mud, by the time you hit 50 and a world of content hits you in the face you really don't want to stop and clear all those hard modes. You feel entitled and here's a secret we all felt that way even when it was new content, what do? You get a friend to buy you heavens starter gear and faceroll all of it, don't neglect your relic weapon quests either or Hildi, grind it all, open it all up.

There really is no rush because despite what the "elitists" say, "we called them casuals in WoW endgame because FFXIV has no real endgame by any other games standards lol 60 cap." Take your time level a gatherer and a craft or 6, you'll need it to make all that junk you find worth something you can sell. What do with all those seals after you are Lieutenant? buy craft mats and make them stuff to sell is what. Secret Poetics is only good for untradable crafting mats, glams and a couple minions. Take your time Alexander is not going anywhere he's only an arm and torso anyway.
