Possible level/story jumps....really?

Level jump potion is good. The 2.x Main Story Quests had too much filler fetch quests and just dragged on too much. You turn away new players with mundane game play.

In regards to players not knowing how to play: lots of players still do not know how to play even at max level. You do not really learn how to play your job until you are max level anyway (i.e. Lv.60 Black Mage and Enochian/Fire IV). The game does a poor job at teaching players how to play the game.

If you want to know how to really play, you have to rely on fan/community-made guides for each job. You have to build relationships with other players and learn from others.

The reason for this is that the MSQ needs to be padded out to provide sufficient XP for levelling. This is something that was addressed in 3.1 onwards when dealing with patch content and will be addressed in SB with MSQ structure.

But the 2.1-2.55 was made for level capped characters at the time. The filler is not for experience points, those were added later. They are just there to take up time and make the msq feel longer.
