But that's the point. With Stormblood coming out, it would be in the benefit of both parties (the veteran player & the new player) that they would be able to play the same, current content together. As much as I would like to bring friends into this game, I don't always like having to play old content that I've played in the ground just for me to be able to play this game at all with my friends. The incentive would have to be extremely good for me to do that. I would honestly need stormblood-related incentive to make me want to play anything in ARR.

And exp boosting isn't going to really help, for it would mean that even though they would be able to get to 60 faster, you would STILL have to play the old content, and complete all those quests.

I like the idea that my friends who are actually interested in playing this game now that Stormblood is coming out will be able to get into stormblood content. It would just make the experience better for both of us.
