Patch 4.5 is Unacceptable

Please read my post more carefully. I never mentioned raids. I have no interest in them except for seeing Fran in this new one coming out. I am talking about the main quest and story, which for me is the most important aspect of the game, cutscenes, story battles, etc. The main quest itself and New Game + are essentially solo experiences aside from dungeons, which we do have access to if preformed. My issue is that Blue Mage is essentially being locked out of what little solo content it should have had access to.

You literally have to define solo content here, because honestly we'd have to reconsider. I think they wanted to keep it out of MSQ because the open world isn't looked at well enough. Most of the time the community doesn't pay attention to the overworld and the detail artists have put in to make XIV's world since they want to get from Point A to Point B as fast as possible; and let's not forget most people don't want to deal with overworld trash mobs that should be a considerate threat to them even though you could simply FLY OVER THEM ALL NOW.

Also, the storyline can be traced into raids mind you, where things are being balanced. For instance, Omega was a literal part of the storyline for a while ever since the incident over Baelsar's Wall happened to counteract Shinryu. This allows us to have some type of closure with the Alpha and Omega Arc ever since we trashed Shinryu into primal dust.
