I should be able to get my gear for my sixty character now because it has nothing to do with the story at all but I cant because Im story locked. The game makes leveling easy as pie, so if you are of level why do you have to do the story to do stuff that isnt even tied to the story. My example was in arr I did quest for my jobs that put me in the imperial base but I was no where near that part in the story did that mess up the lore no it didnt, do other players no what point of the story Im at no they dont so what does it matter.

I love the story I dont want to have to finish all of the story to do things that I dont love like getting gear, and stuff that is boring without having any story left o. I was simply saying that I thought that the way Arr was set up was better than how gated hw was set up. Hw is gated from the very start its like they took a step back and said lets make things less accessible than we did in the original game all I was saying is give the same option to free roam in like you can in arr in the next expansion instead of how its set up in hw and let people get around to the story when they see fit instead of a straight path only.

And the explanation for being in said areas would be you are an adventurer that's what you do explore you dont have to have some specific meaning to it. And to speak of lore there is no logical reason how a whm can be a ninja , or how a blm can be a warrior with an ax but yet everyone levels all jobs on one. The game does a horrible job at explaining this outside of that your an adventurer so why cant that be reason enough to have access to any area in the game.
