My first 50 lvl and a few complains about game so far.

[Venerik]

It is not possible to report the player by selecting him. So when i I met with such a situation(Not my movie) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DyfDTQtba0
Game suggested me that to report these bots i should type the name of each bot in the menu. It took me like 2 hours to Complete that mission and according to that movie people was reporting this situatnion for 3hours and longer.
Do I have to say that the blockade the opportunity to complete the main task and the lack of a noticeable suuport despite the applications was not pleasant?

2. I meet bots every day what are teleporting and completing main story even if they have 50lvl (And like sayed above im unable to report them)

3. Today i unlocked the 50 level and i stuck at story 36 lvl, so im just forced to do it as fast and skiping movies as I can. This is more like a job than having fun in game.

4. At world Sprinngan the house system is not working, im unable to complete like complete 4 quests. When im always near of that area players are talking to me:
"This world is to new if you wanna complete this quest you need change world"
Suggesting a new player that he should go through a fairly recast change of worlds because the game have issues is not new players frendly.

Story driven game, if you feel forced for having to do the story, you're really not gonna last tbh, realistically you should of been doing it as you levelled up, it seems like this is a problem of your own making tbf.

Sorry but I don't really understand what you are trying to say here. That bots are annoying, yes but so far they never prevented me from finishing quests. The game has an instance system for zones now so if one is too packed you can try another and still play on your world. And your point number 4 is one I really didn't understand, housing problem? Like you can't buy a house or what and players talk to you like they are harrassing you? What?

[Venerik]

In most mmorpgs what i played so far you also had to do side quests to unlock main story. So i cleaned like 2 maps of side quests when i was starting game(near of 30 lvl) and from that moment im usualy 10 od 15 lvl higher.

Story driven game, if you feel forced for having to do the story, you're really not gonna last tbh, realistically you should of been doing it as you levelled up, it seems like this is a problem of your own making tbf.

Story driven game yeah, but so many people even here, and content creators, agree that the story-lock on basically all group content is a little less than ideal. Especially the 2.0-2.5 stretch, which was so painful it took me three times quitting and returning to be invested enough to slog through it. Got WHM from 50-55 on it, while looking longingly at those lilies I couldn't unlock at 52 because I had not gotten to HWD yet. It isn't a fun way to introduce new players to a game. It's a shame they couldn't find a better way to encourage players to enjoy the story aside from literally forcing them into it.

e.g., ESO has a crazy long lore-heavy main quest that I really enjoyed playing out to the end ... but it was optional to do whenever I was ready, it was laden with good rewards (mostly skill points, nom nom), and it never once left me trudging through 20hrs of solid fetch-quest-only lore dumps.

In FFXIV you can ignore sidequests more the most part, if you wish. Every quest that is required for you to progress through the mainstory is part of the mainstory and gets the "meteor"-quest-symbol.

However there are sidequests that have certain content like dungeons or (in the expansions) aether currents that you need to unlock flying in the zones behind them. Each quest that has something locked behind it has a blue quest-icon and you should pay special attention to those!

Now all sidequests that only have the simple yellow/golden icon can be ignored or saved for a secondary job etc.
Quests that get a small picture in the quest-window when you accept the quest usually tell a more involved story and have follow up quests. Often those start off with a blue icon but after unlocking whatever they open a whole questline that tells a story of its own (beyond "Go pick some flowers for me" or "kill that giant pig that stole my pumpkin")

Long story short: Following the mainquest is all you need to do to play the mainquest - but playing through the mainquest is the requirement for pretty much everything else in this game that has a heavy focus on its story. A story that gets better in the expansions! The end of ARR is often a slug for people but I promise you: it gets so much better after that - hang in there!

Note that the instances are only available in the Shadowbringers areas. They don't always duplicate the lower tier game zones.

1. You can manually report the open world bots if you feel like it, but they are banned regularly via automated processes so there's really not much point. When a bot is shouting in a city, however, you can right click the name and report RMT activity instantly.

2. Again, the bots will get banned via the automated sweep, usually once every few weeks. SE doesn't have instant bot deletion in place because they want to find the "bank" account those bots are funneling the money to, and ban it first. I think of them as Voidsent at this point....

3. It is strongly recommended you use the Main Scenario Quest as your primary method of leveling for this reason. It sucks to have to go back and do those quests when you've outleveled them, but if you do them at-level, they will basically do the job of leveling you up without you having to run any extra content at all. The additional quests in any give zone are there to help you level up second and third jobs, since you can play all jobs on a single character in this game.

4. Edit: Nevermind, was not aware housing was locked down on those servers. As others have said, take advantage of the World Visit to finish those quests, then go back to your local server.

In the situation that I experienced and what is showed at movie, bots was teleportating and killing mobs needed to complete quest, you was unable to shot even once since mob was dying in less than one second.
Also that was like 30 lvl you can't exept from random players like me to known how to change world if this is not in game menu, game is not explaining in inside quest how to change worlds or anything related to this.

As for housing like i called it: Mission Lavenders beds, The gobtler, Mist. They do not work completely any attempt to move to these areas ends in failure, its like it would be turned off there. And going near of it like i sayed above is ending receiving messege from players that this world is too young and this task does not work here, change the world. So you just started playing have like 10 lvl and playing trial and you are unable to go there.

Isn't housing on Spriggan and Twintania currently disabled so new players have a chance to earn enough money before the housing zones are open?
So as long as they are not open you obviously can't finish the quests nor enter the zones.

Essentially your MSQ progress is what matters, not your level. If you're doing things like roulettes to grind xp, I wouldn't worry about it until the MSQ catches up.

As for the sidequests issue, you can use the world visit system from an aetheryte in one of the 3 starting cities to visit a world where it is possible. Housing has been disabled at the start on your server so new players have a chance to earn money first rather than having established players swoop in and buy it all up immediately. Just visit another world and you'll be able to enter and finish it.
