We should get exp boost in the game.

Palatable is acceptable to you? I mean in the CCG genre Hearthstone is palatable. But at least the players aren't in denial and know the game isn't new player friendly and it needs to be changed. However the greedy cooperate side says "nah, forget that". FFXIV may not be as bad as hearthstone but it's not far off from turning into the hearthstone of mmorpg's. At least in MTG and Shadowverse you get in game currency plus updates that give you free packs through-out the expansions. Hearthstone be like, "for the release of the expansion here's a quest for 10 packs. pay me for more or spend 40-60 hours grinding to get to a playable state."

Because I enjoy the game as it is now? Yes. Particularly since the only part I take issue with is being fixed next patch, which removes any further reason for me to whine about the leveling slog.

Also I hate to break it to you but SE is a corporation and a corporation's first job is to make money. I know, it's shocking, but bear with me here while you try to compare to completely different genres that have nothing to do with one another. Likewise we have been shown time and time again that the Mogstation, and the skips as part of it, is one of the only ways money actually gets funneled back into the game for more content. That money goes directly back into producing the endgame content you're holding up as what new players strive to reach. So what do you want? A free way to skip the story or more content at endgame? Because they aren't compatible with each other.

They seem to be compatible in other games...
