For stormblood do you want the gated conten path of hw, or the free roam path of arr?

But what I keep repeating is that Im not asking to take away the gate of dungeons, or primals, or raids I 100 percent support this in the game. I simply would just like to travel anywhere that is in the game without it being gated. Im not asking to go do an extreme primal , just because Im already level 60 , because I haven't even fought said extreme primal in the game.

It's been explained many times. You can't go to those areas because you (meaning your character Nic Pay) does not know those places exist, or if you do, the denizens of that place do not like you until the story reveals them/has some cause for the citizenry to accept you.

edit: To start back at the beginning. Asking if I want things to be open in Stormblood compared to Heavensward is the same as asking "do I want the game to be less-story focused (either things not tying into the story or it not mattering if it is or not)?" and the answer is, and will remain, no.

And thats fine and this is why I asked can we see less of this , in the next expansion the only good legit reason I have gotten is rmt for gating. Which I almost can get behind that, but se needs to do a better job with dealing with that anyway so its no reason to gate everything just because of that. But my whole thread was do you like arr exploration better than you like bring on the gates hw questing chain not the story itself.

It wasnt about lore or reasoning or anything both are already in the game. What isnt in the game is stormblood and if the players get up in arms that you can just walk anywhere you want in these zones then I honestly wouldnt no what to say because its really not that big of a deal. Because like Ive mention nothing goes in order directly because its an mmo so why create some illusion of this by gating the zones with the msq.

People have mention that players have been complaining a while about how gated things are so maybe the devs will take note and not do it as bad in the next expansion. Especially the jobs I hope they dont gate those for new players , cant tell you how many people have complained that drk and astro are gated.
