being new and @ level 50 is killing my interest

I play to run old content. You're wrong and dont get to speak for me. Sorry.

I guess MMOs should never have expansions.

If progression were all that made it fun no one would play MMOs because you can get that same experience playing any single player game out there. Also, progressing in 3 year old content is not the same as progressing in something just released in the patch notes that is blasted all over the website and forums.

3year old huhhhhhhhhhhhh? Anyway last time i looked you can find many ppl to do old stuff with and if you just joined why run into a lvl 50+ zone? you don't really belong there so?

[Rin_Kuroi]

I agree, but I want to see more Job balance and new content over old fetch quests being reworked. (then again I am done with the old ones at this point)

I'm okay with that. Maybe SE can look at it the next expansion or two.

Who said anything like that? I can enjoy new and old content. Obtuse much.

[Ortamus]

Yes, so any normal person in a normal MMO would think they'd be leveling through the ARR part of the game then enjoying the content the expansion has to offer. What the website should say is this:

WARNING: YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY EXPANSION CONTENT UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED ALL OF THE ARR CONTENT, WHICH MAY TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS.

Dacien, you have no idea of how much I appreciate your existence right now.

Edit: This kind of warning should also be made wherever the expansion is sold.

Yeah this games community is shit

I bought heavensward because I was stupid. I haven't even gotten a job unlock yet, I assumed that I'd get to try the new dark knight earlier. As I like drain tanks, however I didn't realize I won't even remotely get to play it till maybe next calendar year.

I enjoy the game, however it expects too much of a casual player. I don't want to raid and have no interest in it.

A warning like this is on the main informational page for ff14 hw. Sadly some people are foolish enough to rely on the info from seller's page instead of the developer's. Hopefully lesson learned.

We' already talked about this...you suffer from short term memory loss? People see a game from a series they enjoy, they'll buy it. Now, go open up your door, there's this place called the outdoors. You might like it.

FYI, this is the only MMO that is implemented this way. In no other game can you pay money for an expansion and not instantly access at least most of the content you payed for.

The only other MMO I've played extensively works similarly. LOTRO's first expansion requires leveling through the base game first. Then each successive expansion starts at the endgame level of the previous one. (Though to allow for players getting some expansions and not others, there are between-expansion updates to the main game to provide alternate leveling paths.) But you can't start any of the expansions from the beginning of the game.
