The story is great, but it blatantly gets in the way of the rest of the game

What if.


WHAT IF

The story is the content people play the game for? And the story getting longer and longer is only more content for those players and thereby not a bad thing? It's like complaining about a TV show going on too long "Man if I want to get to the latest season I gotta watch all these other seasons first!".

Your entire problem is you see the story, along with all other content prior to "Endgame" (whatever that even is in your mind) as an obstacle. This is the way the game is. This is what it's about. If you don't like it, PLAY ANOTHER GAME and stop trying to change the game to suit what you want. You are not being forced to play this game. You CHOSE to play this game out of countless other MMOs. You have no excuse.

I am so sick of these FOTM kiddies and narcissists who think every game should cater to them and cannot accept the existence of niches that cater to a more limnited, but specific pool of people. They can either buy a skip, just speedrun the MSQ and skip all the cutscenes, or play another game better suited to their interests.

You are calling people narcissist, while saying everyone should view the story the same way I do. That is a horrible take buddy.

I don't think there is any reason in 2022, if some one were to pick this game up, did not want to do the story or care about the story to require them to do the story up until the current expansion. There should be an option to level up other ways if you choose to. The key thing is giving players a choice, with out paying a stupid amount of money to do it.

it's called the cash shop. You can buy your way to the tier before current RIGHT NOW! There's the option!
