New Player Experience Sucks! - Impending Expansion Problems

[Barraind]

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

Things I ask about MMO's:

Is the crafting system both robust and of actual quality?

Are there raids?

Are the endgame dungeons worth running a lot?



Things I've never had to ask before 14:

Will I be stuck following a linear path that HEAVILY gates me regardless of character/class level (you can be into your mid 60's before you finish the 100 sins of squeenix in ARR) to the point where I cannot experience content unless I spend more than the base game costs to get to the part of the game I like playing?

These people that skip all the MSQ are the same people that complain there isn’t enough content in the game

Funny, because the MSQ ACTIVELY PREVENTS YOU FROM ACCESSING CONTENT.

As in, to access actual content (dungeons, trials, raids, alliance quests, daily quests) you have to get through certain parts of the MSQ or you are completely locked out of those systems regardless of character level. Level 61 and in full stormblood gear but still havent finished a certain part of MSQ? Sorry, you dont have access to reputation farming, alliance raids, 8 man raids, extreme trials, the hunt system, the squadron system, player housing, something im certain im forgetting, and probably feel like theres not enough content in the game.
