Main Scenario Restriction Bloodstorm - Very Very Bad idea.

[Felis]

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

Nobody spam just 1 against Shiva (an enemy in the 2.0 MSQ) or Niddhog (3.0 MSQ enemy)

I get it: this game is all about story (then why 1.0 failed?)

- cumbersome UI
- need an PC over average to run it
- no endgame (after reaching lv 50 you started the next class to have something to do)
- Leves (8 every 36 hours) and Behest (evey 30 minutes) the only way to level up
- Only a handfull MSQ quests (every 3-5 levels only 1 quest) and no sidequests
- worse market (a room full with retainers and no search system, good luck to find what you want)

Actually, some do, because the other 7 people are there on trial roulette and are so overgeared it doesn't matter much.

But honestly, the skills in this game are transparent enough that you can figure out a decent rotation just by reading the tooltips. I find it laughable that some people suggest people who are unable to do that would somehow become better by having to do fetch quests for Minfilia. Do they expect people to start reading tooltips out of sheer boredom or something?

For me personally, all the quest restrictions only achieved one thing for me: I skip all cutscenes by now. It's become force of habit - at first it started with me simply wanting to try out the new jobs, then I started an alt and already knew all the cutscenes, then another alt, same thing and eventually, it just happened everywhere. And honestly, I lost interest as well in the process.

More important than that, though, is that SE will have to keep reviving old content over and over forever. If new people have to run that content, it needs to be run with acceptable queues at all times and newbies alone can't do that, so they gotta push Vets in there somehow. If you see a connection to tomestones, wondrous tails and the relic weapon quest setup, I'm sure that is entiiiiirely coincidental.
