Don't you like playing the game? Leveling is not the point, progressing through the story is.

So you'll give up all your skills, abilities, and everything you gaind through 80 to just watch cutscenes? o.0 That's a really weird fallacy you've got going on.

Weird fallacy indeed, given that questing at level 50 isn't much different to 49 or 51.

Though I have to say your instant grasp of what we're talking about, apparent desire to pick a fight and curious choices in customising your character name collectively have me questioning whether you're genuinely new or a certain repeating troll.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, carry on (and perhaps hold off before registering your purchased copy).

No idea what you're talking about, but calling people a troll for 0 reason is pretty sad.

And questing at 50 is substantially different so far: I won't have new skills or abilities for a LONG time, compared to playing the game so far. "Don't you like playing the game" is the actual troll response, but kudos for being the worst interaction I've had in the game so far!

No, you're watching cutscenes to gain access to level 80 skills. Because the story is the only way to progress further into the game, unless you want to do roulettes until you're 80 and then be extremely overleveled for any story quests.
But even then, you can't get all your skills until you do the story because 50+ job quests require you to go to the areas you can't unlock unless you do MSQ.

The story is the center of the game. If you're not enjoying the story there is a big chance you'll get bored of the game quickly.
Level 50 quests aren't there to give you EXP, there are here to lead you into the story of the next expansion just like level 60, 70 and 80 post-MSQ quests.

You have it a lot easier now even. They cut like half of the level 50 quests some patches ago to make it faster for new players to get to Heavensward.

You make no sense.
What giving up of things? What is this about level 80? - I thought we were talking about the level 50 quests. As for cutscenes - there is quite a bit more to progressing through the story than watching cutscenes.

I take it you did not enjoy the 150+ quests leading up to level 50? If so, I've got some bad news for the rest of the story progression...

It's all quests. All the way to 80. And when you get to 80, there are even more quests.

Shocking, I know.

It was the original endgame. Every segment of content has the initial release where you gain levels (50 in ARR, 10 in each expansion), and then 5 major patches that continue the story over the next two years until the next expansion comes out. When it's current, you wouldn't get any EXP from those quests. ARR admittingly has the slowest and dullest patches, but it is what it is.
