What quest did it make you go do?

I don't recall any optional 60 content being made mandatory recently.

The only optional content that's become mandatory to my knowledge are the Crystal Tower alliance raids, but those are level 50 quests.

Because there were several patches between the end of the Stormblood expansion credits that added additional main scenario quests that must be completed before you get to the Shadowbringers main scenario quests.

You know, just like there were between the ARR credits and Heavensward.

Just like there were between the Heavensward credits and Stormblood.

When the content you're working now came out the cap was 70, so you'd have definitely been 70 if you were playing it when it came out. But now one can quite easily be a higher level when they reach there, because you're playing years later. You'd have this same experience in pretty much any other MMO that you picked up years later as well.

I recently started an alt to play through ARR and Heavensward again as a completely fresh character. I started out doing the MSQ and side quests, but by Quest Level 15 I was already Character Level 25 so I stopped doing side quests and focused only on MSQ, Hunting Log and FATEs for GC seals to get promotions, and an occasional Roulette to get the lvl 50 tomestone gear. It wasn't until I was almost done with the 2.0 MSQ that I finally went down to level 57. By the time I finished 2.55 content I was halfway through 58. If I had continued doing side quests I'd probably be level 65 at the rate I was going.

There's no way to bypass expansion MSQ content without buying a skip. Even if you're level 90 and haven't finished all of the Stormblood MSQ patches you won't be able to access Shadowbringers. That's just how it is; content is locked behind progression in the MSQ.

As other posters have said, use the XP from quests you're doing to level an alt class instead of continuing to gain it on Archer. That's your best option under the circumstances. You can still do the quests on Archer, just turn them in on the alt class.

You beat the content through 4.0. You now have patch content to catch up on. This is how story-centric MMOs work. Level an alt class.
