I did, and you offered nothing new. You don't unlock PoTD until you're level 17. And even then, unless you start in Gridania you probably wouldn't even know the unlock quest is there if you weren't following the MSQ to take you to Gridania where you would see the big blue quest point. Fates for early levels in most servers are barren (heck most fates are barren now). And people are going to get tired of PoTD 1-60 if that's all they do in between roulettes.

So if the MSQ, which leads you to all of the above things, is now optional and players can ignore it, then what would you want to see as a potential option in its place? That's what I'm getting at. I'm not against alternatives for different play styles, but the MSQ as it's designed now serves as a bridge to link all of this content together. If you make that optional, how do you show new players where to go? What do you add in for people that don't enjoy the early leveling options but aren't too into the MSQ?
