The pricing is fine, the issue is that it really should not feel mandatory to buy. At this point making an alt just requires a skip unless you happen to have hundreds of hours of spare time. The MSQ system in general needs looking at for new folks catching up, old players returning and alt creation. Any MSQ time investment from expansions after the current should be optional, not mandatory. Add more XP to side quests, un-nerf FATEs in old zones, allowing jobs to catch up as well.

If a skip is expensive but entirely optional it is a luxury and fine, same as cosmetics.
If it's necessary and expensive you are creating a pay to win system. Do not want to level all jobs yourself for the achievements? Just buy them.

There should be a better balance between quality of life while progressing and them still making money off people who have money but not time.
