Forcing players through MSQ content makes it un fun.

As many people have said in other threads, those jobs are directly tied to the story. It would not make sense plot wise for you to be a mch or drk in 2.0 because they are tied to Ishgard and its locked.

SE didn't force you to plow through the MSQ, you decided you had to be where your friends were right this second.
Maybe your friends should have helped you through the main story instead of making you feel rushed just so you can spam Alex and Ravana like the rest of us.

And sorry there are fetch quests in every mmorpg, so might as well get use to it. Cause there's a ton of them in Heavensward as well.
Also don't see why people bitch about it, it levels you up. Or would you rather FATE grind in N. Thanalan forever?

The fact people apparently hit 60 in N.Thanalan and I don't see any fate trains in post 50 content survey says: "Yes!"

Which is great, because the FATEs spawning in HW zones are now soloable in a few minutes and reward me with anywhere between 25k (Coerthas) to 75k(Hinterlands). Not to mention the 1k~ exp per mob kill while actually doing the FATE.
Nothing drove me more insane trying to do FATEs under 50 for my MCH (between Dungeon Queues when they weren't instant) and failing to reach any before the 30+ players zerged them down in huge trains, and when they left the area, the FATEs were in zerg mode and not soloable anymore.

Hell, i went to Bluefog for my PLD quest to start the post 50 stuff today, saw dozens of player standing around waiting for FATEs. Some of them were 52+. Dusk Vigil alone gives 200k+ for 25 minutes work ...
And if you aren't 51 yet .. it took me an hour to get my WAR to 51 and all i did was a HLR, LLR and Trial Roulette then a couple of Hunt Marks in W.Coerthas.
I simply do not understand why people still do FATE trains for HW leveling. Especially in older content when we have much better ways to get XP.

People spoil stories all the time playing new classes. It has never been an issue in any MMO. Many players would not have had an issue spoiling their story to play the new classes right away.

No. That does make players feel forced. This is why many raids in MMO's have loot limits. If you could get every piece of gear in 1 week many players would feel 'forced' to do it.

And sorry there are fetch quests in every mmorpg, so might as well get use to it.

I mentioned no complaints about the style of quests. I am done with the MSQ and currently raiding. I loved the MSQ. Every piece of it. I simply had less enjoyment of it being forced through it.

Actually, It doesn't. I started with rested Exp at lvl 50 with Defenders of Eorza. i was aprox 15% of my way into lvl 50 when i was done. Exp is piddly...i honestly earned as much exp in an hour in N Thalanan as i did running the last 2 tiers of lvl 50 stuff. perhaps there's a deal more if you are starting at the very beginning of the lvl 50 fluff. But I can pretty much guarantee you that N. Thanalan is much faster. and yeah, I'd rather grind for an hour in N Thanalan then do 3/4 of those fluff quests as they get irriating after the 12th time you run out and back to teh same location for....5k exp. woot.
