How much research are people supposed to do before buying a game? Are they supposed to read reviews? Watch gameplay trailers? Listen to randos on youtube tell them its the best game ever made?

If you are the kind of person that looks at maybe a few sources to get the general gist of the game and go ahead and try it out. Depending on where you look you may or may not get the feeling that you are gated from doing a large amount of content by the games story. You may or may not get the knowledge that you will be spending hundreds of hours playing the game before you will make it to the end of the "leveling experience" and be able to do the current level content.

It is pretty harsh to just say they should do "research" on a game before they play it, especially when researching a game is different to every single person. The MSQ is bloated and has a lot that needs to be cut to make the leveling experience for new players better as well as reduce/remove the gates the MSQ puts on a lot of content in the game.
