being new and @ level 50 is killing my interest

The lazy (imo) and cheap approach would simply be to allow a player to skip every single quest (consider it made) up to the current expansion's first quest, unlock all cut-scenes and such, also unlock absolutely all dungeons automatically as you level up (including the side-ones, you can do the quests but they're not mandatory anymoe) from all older-than-current expansions.

In my case, they can leave the entire story line intact. I just want to be able to walk in to the damn zones, to gather at the new nodes. I have plenty of classes I can move the story forward on but the bulk of my game is spent on DoH and DoL. I am being forced to power through the MSQ to play those aspects. I don't want to but short of buying all mats on the market, that's how I am being forced to do it.

You need flying to access the new nodes. It will be impossible for you to gather highest level items without having a battle class to 60. FYI.

In short, attune the zone. And when I am actually able to do that it will translate to a lot of running. Done with a level 59 most likely because zone discovery gave big chunks of Experience based on level. I deliberately avoided map discovery in 2.00 and took half the level from 49 to 50 Whm just walking in to areas.

I was at The Beasts Maw when I logged back in, the level 26. It was checked, just not turned in. I'd say I was holding it until I had a class that wasn't level capped I could turn it in on. That's no longer an issue. I'm handing out tea now and already 25% through Whm level 50. This was never about it being difficult. It would have been in the interest of SqEnix to not ram me through this. Had I done these quests on another class, it would have taken me substantially longer. I'll be in HeavenWard by the weekend. It just means I have to waste content they took years to implement. In the end, not my circus, not my monkeys I guess.
