So who is NOT getting Heavensward?!

[SaitoHajime]

Not getting it because of money issues. Which will probably be fixed about ~2 weeks after HW launch, maybe a little less.

And as a tank main, it seems like 2 weeks is a LOT to miss out on. Hope I'm wrong. XD

Lol but you're still getting it >_<

Natashio, you are being part of the unwinnable game for a developer.

Make lots of content in the same vein as the original game? People complain there's no new stuff.
Make lots of radically different content? People complain you're not being true to the game's history.
Make too little content? People complain there's nothing to do.
Make too much content? People complain they're overwhelmed.

The way I see it, Heavensward adds a lot of new story, new places to explore, new crafts, new stuff to gather, new raids at endgame, and so on. I'm curious, though; what are YOU hoping it will contain that will make you buy it?

Eventually :P May not have read the OP clearly though....XD

Sure, I'll still log in on the 19th at 2 AM. SE can't block me or those without the expansion from doing that, as early access only applies to getting into Ishgard proper. I'll continue to craft and level up (slowly) with out the expansion. If I find out that crafting/gathering specializations are gated behind the expansion, which they shouldn't as the guilds are in ARR areas. Then I'll just put my hands up and call it the day and move on.

I'm at a point in videogaming that if expansion/dlc don't add anything substantially different and new to the game, I see at as not worth it.

Everything is gated behind the expansion. Even lvl60/Au Ra creation, though both of them ONLY require the expansion, and not MSQ completion.

I just want off the gear treadmill. Unless they somehow make current FCoB gear matter (increase ilvl and boss stats maybe? Apparently, WoW does something like that), I have no interest. I know people enjoy it, and feel it's the logical next step and that's understandable. It's just too much for me to feel like "Well, here we go again, tomes tomes tomes raid raid raid," while all of a sudden ignoring what I've done before. As long as I can clear T13 before the expansion, I'll feel closure.

I'm happy for anyone that will still enjoy it, but for me, personally that's been the biggest reason I just can't get excited.

Ya and before anyone chimes in, lv cap restrictions have always been a restriction on MMO's in which expansions have increased a level limit. So don't say that SE is being unfair to not allow people in 2.0 to level up to 60 without 3.0 because a lot of expansion pack MMOs do that.

[NorthernLadMSP]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Natashio is going to be severely disappointed when they realize they will not be able to level to 60 without the expansion.

[Natashio]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Natashio is going to be severely disappointed when they realize they will not be able to level to 60 without the expansion.

Don't worry about me I wont be disappointed as I have no reason to be.

So wait you want to be able to do something from the expansion without the expansion that makes no sense. Of coarse specialization will be gated behind the expansion just like flying is as well and the new classes. You can't be excited about something from the expansion then act like you have no interest in it but still want to use its mechanics it don't work that way.
