Main Scenario Restriction Bloodstorm - Very Very Bad idea.

That is exactly the point of why we don't need it, it takes no effort and you learn close to nothing, if you're a competent player.

Sorry, I've seen some even at 60 where... they aren't competent and need the extra time. For crying out loud, I still see bards almost NEVER playing songs... competence is not a good argument.

FF14 is story based so it makes sense to require playing through the story. The MMO part comes in asking for help. IE a DPS will ask in fc chat for help. We'll usually give them a tank for insta-queue.

That's like saying WoW isn't a heavily story based game given how much lore is behind it. Final fantasy isn't an exception to the rule just because Final fantasy titles in general are known to be story focused. The flaw in the current story is that it has no 'end' which means it can't really be treated like how even XI was since each expansion was separate from the others. That doesn't mean that certain things can't be skipped due to having certain levels. As far as the story being good or not, that's always going to be subjective and should be treated as optional if other criteria are met in order to skip. Every mmorpg has this option except FFXIV and that's not something to be proud of when you're in a competitive market.
