OP part of why people are lashing out at you for this is because you keep calling the story "Crap" "Terrible" or using other language to insult something that the other side of this player base enjoy. Para trooper or not respect goes both ways as you should well know. I will not defend the person who insulted your manliness but remember that insulting what someone values in high regard is the quickest way to get your point ignored. Back on topic, gating the content behind the MSQ was a bold move by the devs and has seen it's fair share of controversy but they have said that they are not going to do anything at the moment to change that, most likely owing to the fact that they either lack the resources to do so properly or do not wish to, I believe the later is more likely though they did do a few things to ease the transition. I appreciate not every person plays this game for the story, and you are right story wouldn't matter without game play in this genre, but ffxiv has some pretty good game play and it's story is what separates it from the WoW clones and Korean copy paste
