I enjoy the game, however it expects too much of a casual player. I don't want to raid and have no interest in it.
Exactly the same for me too. I was hoping to be able to get into Ishgard, take a look around and pick up the new jobs at least. I understood that most/all the new quests would be out of reach for me, but as long as I could just walk into the new place.

SE's main HW page actually states under the Early Access portion of the page (and the only spot btw that it is mentioned), "...have made sufficient progress in the main scenario." This is quite vague, and to me - as I'm sure to others as well - it meant, 'okay, I just need to beat that dragon infested dungeon in Coerthas and I'm in, right?" Should be, but no. I mean all the Ishgardians are cool with me after doing all those favors for them. Nope. Not happening. They are only going to roll out the red carpet after I have fully completed the MSQ up to 2.53 (incl. all high level raids required for that progress). So, it really should've said, "Warning: you need to have full completion of the main scenario to 2.53 to advance to Heavensward."
