Possible level/story jumps....really?

[LDR]

I'm sorta neutral to this but slightly sided on the Yes.

Reason being is I tried to get someone into this game but lost them to the 2.x slog.
The base 2.0 AAR 0-50 MSQ? fine, that wasnt an issue, but it was all the post 50 stuff from the 2.x updates that made them drop.
Sure, XIV is a more story heavy mmo, and some love that, but not everyone, and others simply dont care and just want to play the content; all people play this for different things and its often disheartening when people just tout out "why would you pick up this mmo if you dont want to do all this story"

Personally i'd rather they maybe implement something like this in the method of it skipping the story, but not the leveling, or at least not giving you a straight 60 to wreck havoc with.

Also i would LOVE for at least this to be an option for alt's because as someone with 6 characters its, well, ive seen the story enough times already and i just want to be at the end of it now its no longer fun.

I personally don't see the benefit in "alts," but I do agree that all they would have to do is make a recap cutscene detailing the patch post-game storylines so that returning and new players don't have to tread through something like that unless they really want to. I mean honestly, most new players start Heavensward at lv. 52 because there's so much required 2.X content. At least with the ability to skip it they could potentially come back to these old quests if they want to experience the 2.X story in full.

Apparently you can't get circlet till free month ends and they bill your card. I have all jobs to 20 or more and still no circlet. ������

Get a pre-paid card.

This. I've lost several new introducees this way. The story just kept going and going, made them running up and down and left and right and across Eorzea, they still weren't anywhere near the Heavensward content, and on voice chat they kept hearing us having fun with the high end content.
