Square you need to streamline the main story

[MomomiMomi]

I can't imagine how this would be possible. My main was 60 well before finishing Dravania. This alt is 56 - 56 - and I literally JUST started the HW quests.

My alts make it to HW at 51.

It's different, not wrong. Also, just because you've been here longer than others doesn't mean your experience is better than the one they had in a shorter amount of time.

Yep, here is some different personalities I know of:
Skip all CS, does not care, plays to play the game
Reads the CS somewhat, but tries to go fast to keep up with friends, some meanings are lost and gets confused, leads to siding not caring to the fluff till something big happens (I/E the dragon war bits)
Reading the CS, but then forgetting due to the gaps, and forgetting how they link and feels broken. This feeling gets worse with the MSQ quests not really tied to the story (fetch stuff, gets board and has hard time drawling links)
Same as above kinda, has a few alts trying to understand it more but fails to do so.

See? these gaps in filler do not help the story. It gets convoluted and gets hard to comprehend for some. For me it is more like gaps here and there, does not feel complete. The fluff is not helping people keep focused on understanding the story.

I have to agree with the general sentiment. I'm watching my wife play through the story of 2.X, and most of the s*** they make the player do is rage inducing. I dareday 75% could be considered filler content, and that's only in the MSQ.

From the other perspective, I have to assume there was a design requirement for certain number of quests at certain levels that give certain amount of experience. Progression planning and all that. When you have plot milestones that don't line up with progression mechancis, you get the 2.x MSQ.

It would be nice if they could write a more robust storyline going forward.

"I been doing MSQ stuff on my alt"
Have you hit the 50 ones? Those are not enjoyable at all, they just drag on and on, almost ragequit over it. Those 50 quests are so tedious they should not be gate blocking anything. Being not able to progress with my job quests because I am stuck on 50 MSQ is/was beyond pointless. Blocking me from HW because of all these pointless go here go there filler was aggravating.

Sorry but you are wrong. The level 50 quests are neither tedious nor pointless. Doing quests is the fun part of the game after all - it is running dungeons over and over that is tedious and should be trimmed. No dungeon should have to be run more than once.

Doing quests is the fun part of the game after all - [...]

"What? No, raiding is the fun part of the game!"
"Get outta there, it's crafting or bust!"
"Triple Triad is true endgame!"
"PvP is MVP \o/!"
"I do nothing all day but fishing."

Fun is subjective. I'm surprised this fundamental fact hasn't yet reached some reaches of the world.

Let me tell you something,I did forget something on my list:
I do not care about the MSQ or this game at all. I just want to craft and help others and can't stand the gating crafting and gathering has. The game forced me to level a job and do the MSQ, I did not want to do this, I do hate how there is even crafting and gathering leves locked behind having a battle class. 1.0 did not do this, so why does 2.0 + do it? 3.0 made the situation even worse.

Me to you, (Auriana Redsteele, MistakeNot) Do not dare tell people what they should find fun or not. I did almost ragequit my alt over it too, do not tell me how I should of/currently felt about doing the POINTLESS TEDIOUS 50 msq quests for Ama. Telling me go 5 different places for no reason is .... just ugh...

I don't really see how that would work out being how the game is set up.

[Krokov]

I just have one question how does this benefit players as a whole what about those who like it the way it is are there voices to just be tossed aside?

Someone gave a potential solution to your travel issue and you conveniently ignored it. Seems like that's something you do on a regular basis just so you can complain more. In case you missed it, it was auto teleport or merge cutscenes to remove that travel.

Then you have a cry at someone saying what they think is fun in the game and yet you are doing the same thing, saying that you think gated content makes the game less fun. It's called an opinion and everyone has them. With how much you post I thought you'd know that already.

Me to you, (Ama Hamada, Hamada) Do not dare tell people what they should find fun or not. I don't care about gated content, do not tell me how I should of/currently felt about gated content. Saying we should just be given everything is .... just ugh...

It's not going to change things for you if you've already done it. This is for new players.
