100+ old quests to access expansion content...?

A quick google search would of turned up the fact that you have to do the main story quests to access the expansion? I like to learn a little about the world I am playing in before I start playing it. Don't blame others because of your incompetence

Hey now, no need to throw that around. It's impatience, not incompetence

@ OP. I can see where you're coming from, even if I disagree with it. As others have stated this is first and foremost a Final Fantasy title, where lore is an important part of the story. I ALWAYS play games for their story, whether an MMO or not. Others not so much and I can't understand why, which is the point a lot of others are trying to bring up. We can't understand WHY you wouldn't want to progress through the story. FF14 has a very good story so I could never imagine skipping it. If you're in FF14 just for progression and raiding, FF14 really is not the game for that. You already have a group of friends you do that with, which is great, but what happens when you are finished with that? There really is not much in terms of progression in FF14 and it honestly does not take much time to complete what raids it has as they are largely scripted fights. My FC just finished going through Coil raids not for any fancy loot or some such but to experience the closing of that part of the story (which was great BTW, it close a lot of doors).

As an example, there are several games that I tried to get into before I came to FF14 but I simply couldn't. The story was lacking. Even in WOW I could only last a year, even if I was playing with friends from work. Once I was all caught up on the story, I didn't have much else to do. Playing a game just to experience raiding once a week isn't my thing. That was back in WoLK days. I haven't been back since as the demographic that WOW seems to focus on doesn't interest me.
