Possible level/story jumps....really?

Like when the maps was already open in 3.1? I forgot which patch it was. Many don't even wanna explore. Oh well.

To be fair, most MMO xpacs don't require you to beat the story of the base game/previous xpac to access as far as I remember. Not even XI outside of maybe needing to beat the initial story for whatever city you started in (Never played XI so not honestly sure.)

FFXI did have some story you needed to finish to get to certain places, like sky and sea. Many people couldn't beat 6-4 mission of chain of promathia (omega weapon). Many struggled with it and only way to get to sea was to beat that guy. I loved sky too, how you had want to make a full alliance to beat the arch angels in sky... Memories that will never fade away, that game was a real MMO and never held people's hands. I want FF14 to have some more content wall. Steps of faith was abosultely amazing when I first did it and tbh I beat it on second try before nerf. I don't know and understand how people could fail on it. I seriously question myself the skills people have these days on game, it's either they don't follow what's going on the screen or simply just don't want to put some decent effort, sad, just sad.
