They should use the millions of dollars they have been getting from level boosts and MSQ skip to fund a proper new player experience instead of leaving the new player retention hemorrhaging.
This is a niche mmo for a reason, SE realizes and admits this. In fact as an ex WoW player I can say without a doubt that I enjoy the leveling experience of FF14 more than I ever did in WoW. I just finished leveling a second character to 70, and still enjoyed every moment of it.
