the idea to have to skip old content leaves me kind of half half.

I dont care personally if people start mid, end or begining, they dont play the game for me, they play it for themselves from this, anyone does what suits them.


No, what preoccupies me more is this: forcing new people to start from ARR and go through everything is certainly good if not necessary for various reasons BUT there is a huge BUT. How long is it going to take them to level and reach then end ? or rather catch up with the rest of us?

Dungeons for old contents are already now currently taking forever, try to do a primal and you will see how long it takes (even a Void Ark takes forever), besides nobody or very few (not enough at that) will help those new comers to content that is far far far far behind for those that took it from start. So what then ? we will have a frustrated playerbase not able to progress because nobody is there. Is that better then starting mid-way ? I Wonder.

Because of this, I would rather prefer see the game live, even if some flaws, then having no new blood because being adamant on locking it behind some mandatory stuff and have the game *die* sort of kind of.

Levelling potions? up to a certain level? why not ? what does it matter to you, me whoever if someone uses it ? it already exists even if in a lesser way, 3% exp increase, increased exp in roulettes, PoTD, you name it, would that really be a problem?. For some, no matter how good/skilled you are you will anyway be a bad/unskilled.

The only thing that I would like to see changed, like some suggested, to give access to classes that are currently available only in Ishgard from the regular cities of ARR. Anything else, doesnt really matter as far as I am concerned. Time changes, the game has evolved.

Other potential solution, a wholetogether new storyline that people can take Midway wihtout needing the previous knowledge,why not ?

Just some thoughts really.
