    The MSQ gate requirement was very transparently stated months ago by Square Enix. While it's unfortunate that you can't play the expansion content, Ishgard has soundly rebuffed outsiders for much longer than we've been Warriors of Light. There are very specific events that lead up to the Ishgardian conflict, and SE has deemed them important enough that all players should experience them. It's no different from any other FF title, you've got to progress to get further in the game.

    But the main content you paid for is the continuation of the story you don't seem to enjoy. The entire core of FFXIV and the Final Fantasy franchise in general is the story.

    Ehhhh, I don't play this game for the story. I've skipped almost all story, and hey, I still like the game. It is a pretty lame decision to lock all new things behind the MSQ. I would say the main content of this expansion is the new race, new fights, new zones, and some new story. People play MMOs for many different reasons.

    I can understand people aren't playing the game for the story, but gating content behind the story has been SE's MO with this game since ARR launched. I'm not saying everyone should be playing this game for the story, but it should come as no surprise by now that the story is required to access certain content in the game.

    I am on a quest called Into the heart of the Whorl. I was so excited to get in the game game and expac with my friends during this early access but can not due to the whole stupid thing being gated by this boring TOO LONG story quest.

    Sad to say SE this is a big issue and one I think you need to address. I am level 50 and should be able to enter the new areas and continue on my way like it was in World of Warcraft, and every other MMORPG before this one. Had I known that this is how it would be, I would have never pre-ordered. I was under the impression that we would be able to get into the new areas at least but saddly that is not the case.
    The main story wouldn't make any sense if you did that, seriously just do it, its easy xp too...

    I am doing it but the issue is I cant even go and mine or do ANYTHING in the area at all until I get this done. Even though I would rather go mine and have fun that way I cant.

    This sense of entitlement.

    Note - you are getting EVERYTHING you paid for, you just need to, I dont know, play the game to access it. @_@

    Its like buying a single player game with DLC attached to the end of the MSQ and being upset you need to complete the MSQ to access it.

    Sense of entitlement has nothing to do with it. I bought an expansion in world of warcraft, I was level 50, I got right into BC. Same with WOTLK and every other expansion as long as I was the required level. Even if I was not the required level I could still go into the areas and at least explore. Gating the main story stuff is one thing. Gating an entire area AND new jobs behind the main story is not something that is a good thing nor is it something that I will accept.

    1) The information has been available to you for quite some time
    2) This is not WoW
    3) If Wow is so much better, please go play that.
