Forced to finish Before the Fall, dumb design.

[Temjiu]

Im not as much frustrated with having to do story as with everything Being gated for said story.

story is fine. I like story. I dont' mind having to catch up on my early release. that's OK. what bugs me is:

1) Forcing you do deal with raid level content as part of the story. especially when half of the groups are new (as they haven't done those instances before), and its long wait/difficult group to deal with. Now, all things considered, I wouldn't be bugged as much if #2 weren't also a reality.

2) all the new content is gated with said story. I could be off here, but from what I've read (and what i'm seeing), I can't even ACCESS the new areas, story, new classes...unless I finish the old story first. THAT is what bugs me. Everything I paid for I pretty much cannot do anything with,

and i have to sit here waiting for queues watching people head into the new areas. IF they just dropped the group portions from the story, I would have no issues. or give us a story mode that is as easy as pie....I don't care. it's the story for pete's sake, and its no longer even level cap, so forcing people to run content designed to challenge geared and experienced players isn't the best approach.

They need to either drop the group content from the lvl 50 story progression, or open up at least the bulk of the NON STORY content to those who purchased the expansion. I want to check out the new areas...now im waiting on queues for old instances to pop...when most players aren't running those....
