Please Reconsider MSQ Changes

But surely if you enjoy the story overall, a story skip would jump over way more than you’d want just for the sake of dodging these dungeons? Doesn’t it take you right over to Lv60 and miss all of Heavensward? Give it a go first, at least!

I have 16 characters at the moment that I have put a good amount of work into (More than that but the others were just created for fun and I don't do much on them), Three caught up to the current MSQ, Two at the start of SB, three in HW, one just past praetorium and in the story after, and the last seven are still before Prae. I know what it takes to get characters leveled and through the msq, that hour plus that I will be wasting in there can be used for the VERY LONG string of quests that it takes to get into HW. The story line of ARR after Prae is already very long. That is over 7 hours potentially added to a very long quest grind as it is for me.


Luckily, I'm pretty sure the skip potion puts me at the start of HW. Though it is a shame because I like the story leading up to it as well.

I certainly don't -need- to work on them I guess, but I like leveling characters and experiencing things again. Specially after big patches, it's a good refresher on story that I've not gotten to do in years/months.

Don't need to give it a go to know how much of a waste of time it is, I've been playing since 2013.

Seriously if the cutscenes are what's making you buy a skip potion, rather than the fact that you were going to be doing the many hour grind between ARR and HW, as well as HW to get to SB... You have a very strange sense of time and time efficiency. And this is from someone who also has 5 characters that are at SB or finished with the story.

It's an added potential 7 hours across my characters! There are parts of the story I love doing again, CM and Prae cutscenes ARE NOT a part that I love doing again, and FORCING me to watch them again, regardless of if I UNSYNC it or not, is down right stupid.

I would get it if this was just in the MSQ roulette, but I can't even unsync it, and now I surely won't find people that would even want to unsync it should I get caught up. Not that I would want to anyway because WHY would I want to watch those scenes again?
