Main Scenario Restriction Bloodstorm - Very Very Bad idea.

[Daeriion_Aeradiir]

Well, that's YOUR point of view, not the devs'. Yoshida has stated time and time again how the game is entirely built around its story, and that he's actually fine about ppl who only unfreeze subs at the launch of each patch to play for a week and leave.

The Dev's viewpoint is not what makes a successful MMO. If everyone did exactly as he said, and only played a week to do the MSQ and then unsubbed, this game would have been shut down LONG ago. It is all the content this game offers that keeps people around, not the story.

The story is but one cog in this game. For those that enjoy it, it's but one of the many, many things this game has to offer. For those that do not enjoy the story or don't care, they should be granted the ability, whether its an option or if they have to pay for it with cash; the ability to get to the newest expansion. I know several friends who played and quit or want to play, but the MSQ is the biggest hurdle to them, and trudging through literally hundreds of quests spamming esc and mashing through text boxes is not their idea of fun. Reaching the endgame where I am and others are at is what they find fun.

Catering to the niche who wants everyone to do the MSQ is not conductive to the long-term health of this game. Bringing in more players and making sure they have fun from the get-go is.
