You can hold any opinion you want, but remember it's just yours and its only an opinion. I very clearly remember my time as a new player it was not the story that got me through the game, it was raiding. Without the end game, I would have never finished ARR. I also know I'm not alone, and I've even seen new players quit because the path to the end is so long both in terms of MSQ and the slow leveling of jobs that lack complexity for the first 50-60 levels.

Having the MSQ as a requirement doesn't do FF14 any favors.
