So the real question I have for all the naysayers is, how does someone wanting/not wanting to do the story affect you? The game doesn't teach you how to play your job at any level, so story doesn't affect that at all. You would never know if someone skipped the story or not unless they specifically told you. I just don't understand how giving new players an option to condense hundreds of hours of MSQ down to something less daunting for a new player would be bad.
