Friends of mine, new to the game, becoming discouraged by STORY QUESTS

Hmmm...if this is true i wonder how they will make the classes that were introduced into HW...AST, DRK, MCH available to those new players who opt to skip 3.0, will they be made available in a different way?

they will most likely take out the storyline requirement to enter ishgard so people can go there and get the jobs.

You don't own HW you don't get the jobs. Most classes/jobs are always linked to expansions

sounds like they meant storywise since you can't enter ishgard without doing all of 2.0
