Refunded for Heavensward.

So basically, are you asking to be able to say F all to story and be allowed to go where ever you want just because you want to?

Snip

You should be allowed to go where ever your level allows you too since it's a themepark MMO, although in some thempark MMOs if you can make it there, you can get there. I'm not asking for anything as I don't care that much.

But no the story quest shouldn't be forced. Even with it forced there are a lot of players that have no clue what's going on in the story. So technically those people said F all to the story and have no clue why their character is or isn't allowed in places. Now what, it's literally no different than the story quests not being there.

It's called "button mashing through dialogue" and "skip cutscene".

That's still forcing it, especially since one can't access x dungeon or area with out playing a hundred mindless fetch quests or being called on a linkperl to be told to come here.

Do you even "button mash through dialogue" and "skip cutscene"? It's only mindless because you're intentionally ignoring the story. The game was built around the lore, and areas are bound by the story. You can't access certain things because the lore calls for it. Plus, you can't even unlock flying in the new areas without finishing the MSQ for that area.

Ugh, daily limit, let me guess that's around lore too?

ALL mmos are built around lore, ALL mmos have story quests. Very few (I actually can't think of any but I know it has to be some out there) require you to do all MSQ to unlock dungeons, flying, expansions, etc. In majority, darn near all MMOs you can grind mobs to level cap if you wanted too.

Once again.
This is NOT, I repeat NOT, your everyday MMO! This is a Final Fantasy MMO. Final Fantasy = Story.

Heavensward is a STORY expansion, was marketed by that, and was gated as that.
There might be a standalone expansion in the future, they might condense the 2.x MSQ in the future, but not now.
