New Player Experience Sucks! - Impending Expansion Problems

[LyraKuroneko]

Why does it matter to you if someone else gets in at a different point? (Assuming the solution doesn't destructure the story on you).

I wouldn't want it cut out when I do an alt or when a friend will do it. A friend that want to play a FF.

That doesn't answer the question though, I never suggested to cut out content or force you to skip stuff. If you wanted to do it, or your friend wanted to, you could still. Or are you saying you want to force people to do it even if they found it very boring (not all people)?

The longer this wall gets the bigger of a detractor it will be for people coming in and staying in, even if they cut down the time by a quarter the time will still be significant.. I feel some people just don't care that the game is unselling itself to a crowd (and solutions to fix that don't require neutering the story on everyone).

I don't want to remove story from anyone, and I don't want to see the story turned through a blender just to help out someone who saw the mountain an NOPED out. I've been quite specific on a type of solution that wouldn't do that.

Isn't there the skip potion for that then?

Yeah so pay another $50 on a (p2p) game you're not sure you want to invest in yet because you're new. . . lol. Also I mentioned there are quite a few other issues with a skip potion.

You guys are quite greedy.

Let's cut the devs work for free \o/

You mean like WoW does a baseline to their expansions now... because they're so generous? Also I don't need the potions since I'm already capped on both, but thanks for calling me names.

(I don't even want the potions as baseline because I don't think they do a good enough job rooting players into the game, I'd prefer another solution).

You're comparing a 15yo american mmo to a 6yo (since v1 doesn't count) japanese mmo.

Calling you names because I said greedy? really?

And again, since when this game need to be WoW2? Let this game be what it is...


Edit to answer you below :

Yeah, remember this is a numbered FF game and not WoW?

Who goes into the game laser-focusing on the endgame without doing research about it first?

Perhaps because WoW has a much higher profit and also has other ways to earn it (like the sub tokens)? What they're losing in sub time to get to level cap, they're earning it through other means.
