Skipping the main story is not the same as skipping to 70, that's a level up potion and that's a whole different topic (with a solution, already implemented by other games)

The main story doesn't teach you anything about combat, you can kill all MSQ monsters by just spamming 1.

Then you can choose to not answer them, that's not a reason to wish someone didn't play this game, wishing for less new players is wishing that this game would die.
