any1 else ready to boost to level 60 and skip story?

I didn't say it was great experience. But better than fates or soloable dungeons.

Not really. You can just as easily learn your job doing fates and soloable dungeons, or not. The only real factor influencing anything in all 3 situations is the player choosing to learn their job, not the content they are doing it in.

You're free to skip past story and whatnot, ignore most of the game, not give a care what anything is about... your decision, I guess. But in my opinion you are cheating yourself, and have no idea what you're missing.

[Hamada]

Why do you want to skip it?

Some people do not care for it:

I want to skip the 60-70 story so I can craft and gather

If I had that buy-able option I would
(edit forgot put my friend said this)

No. You can't. You can't learn to tank without BLMs stealing aggro. You can't learn to prioritize healing without something to heal. I play dps, I had to learn when to use the BRD songs for them to matter. I never use them in FATEs. Why would I? Who am I going to buff? Yes, you have to want to get better to learn your role, but to say that FATEs is even close to doing Garuda or Titan Hard mode mechanics is a bit off.

Yes, you actually can.

So in your opinion, if you only fate leveled, you would have no idea how to use bard songs in a dungeon?

Uh... Ok.

Also, who levels on Garuda and Titan hard mode? Dungeon leveling won't teach you those mechanics either. This seems like a silly thing to say.

You are bringing up fight mechanics. That isn't the same as learning your rotation, what your jobs does, and how it works. You can know your job and how to perform it without knowing mechanics to a fight.

I'm ready. I've got three alts I've never had the time to level through to endgame, and grind (oh so much grind) back up through the MSQ again.

I'm talking about things in the MSQ. And reading about stuff is different then doing it. So, yeah, I'm sure you read some notes about your role and were perfect from day one.

And I was just mentioning a few things in the MSQ that are obviously harder than Fates and involve using your job skills AND learning mechanics. If you can't see beyond an example to what I'm saying then it's not my problem.

I thought this is a good idea for players who lost their account somehow... or simple doesn't want to deal with the leveling.

I was going to get them for my friend who's account was banned because of financial dispute with SE (he said he didn't sub but SE won't refund so he disputed the CC charge and then.. ban

but he absolutely refuses to play FF14 again... even when I bought a copy for him and installed on his PC.

If you can't see the difference between learning and knowing your job and learning and knowing mechanics then it's not my problem.
