Please Allow 50's to Enter Ishgard w/o having completed MSQ

[RiceisNice]

I've had several friends who I convinced to try this game who quit as soon as they realised there are mandatory story quests you need to do in order to progress.

Mainly in regards to having to run certain dungeons in order to unlock the rest of the quests.. they thought it was stupid and moved on to other MMOs.

Just sayin.

Did they not know that MSQ are also quests that grant exp along the way? I mean if you'v been doing them as they come up, you'll either get to the level required to unlock ti anyway, or you get to a point where the next MSQ is too high for you (meaning the dungeons up ahead are also too high for you anyway...) I mean if you got rid of MSQ, you're still essentially doing quests or straight up grinding (which is far far more tedious than the former) to level up toward 50.

I think you people fail to understand that idgaf that it's mandatory. Great. Whatever, not the first game to do it. I dont care either way.

What I *am* saying, is that I'm concerned with *trial* queue times.

Most of you "suck it up" people won't even be going there so your opinion on it quite frankly doesn't matter to me.

And I don't believe a word of "were fixing it" because no game has, ever.

Can you name some examples of such MMOs doing this? I've only ever played WoW and they never had done this sort of thing. And if you don't believe that they are incorperating changes to trial/dungeon queues to accommodate for ARR (new players get faster queue, and the dungeon will pop without having the required 4/8 man party), then there's nothing else to push the envelope on, we're just butting heads for no reason.
