All right, I got halfway through this thread before stopping so I can post.

First off, in TheUltimateSeph's case, it can be very easy to miss out on the job quests UNLESS you decided to max out one of the new jobs for the expansion. Most of the players new and/or old upon reaching HW when it released wanted to jump into the new stuff asap, which was all done in the new HW areas. Unless you were a DRK, MCH, or AST, no job quests from the other prior jobs took place in Ishgard. Sure, the quests will lead the player into the new areas, but the quests themselves were always right where they initially ended in 2.0.

Now as far as the OP is concerned, he was a bit dickish in his wording, but the tank in particular took it as a personal insult and instead of talking it out like a normal person should do, decided to reciprocate the dick feeling and kicked OP out. Two wrongs don't make a right, no matter the reason.
