So moving forward in HW are they really planning to keep all that locked cus it's only going to make it even harder to get some of that older stuff done just so you can unlock the others. Then you have to settle for using the Duty Finder. Just as a side note if you think the story they've got going in FF14 is good you just don't know good story telling.
First you quote baseless statistics and then you speak of personal opinions as if they are a universal truth. You undermine your own arguments with things like this as it discredits your own capacity for logical analysis.

You do make a point on the Ex stuff though personally Ive found very little trouble getting groups for any of the Ex fights or the Coil Turns, particularly with the Primal Ponies in the Ex loot. Most peoples problem I find isn't getting groups but is getting groups that can actually beat the fights.

And in many ways it is about the story. Everything in the game has story and lore. I hold no issue with people wanting to skip that but removing it I do have issue with as it undermined one of the core aspects of the game I really like.

I understand some people don't care about the story. One of the main tanks in my static is like that. He didn't even know who the scions were. All he cares about is the gameplay. Fortunately for him there is a lot of the game that is his type of game. He just has to speed through the story stuff to get there. This is two sided. Just look how many players have asked for gameplay to be toned down so they can play story stuff. There is a middle ground and both sides of the argument just have to put up with it. Its a compromise.
