New Player Experience Sucks! - Impending Expansion Problems

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Ok. Doesn't mean you're right. Or aren't trying to gatekeep the game behind cutscenes and bland fetch quests.

Do you gatekeep a singleplayer game through the story? I think most games are kept in check through story. Heck, even dark souls is.


Saying because it's an mmo with 3 expansions worth of content means you shouldn't have to play the game is rather silly. You say they have to do a bunch of meaningless stuff to get to the game, however they are playing what basically amounts to 3 games. Thats not worthless, its content they haven't done yet.

Sure, the post ARR story could be shortened, that's about it. ARR sets you up as a hero. You are a nobody before the end of it.
