Refunded for Heavensward.

[Raikou777]

Square just got back to me about my refund for Heavensward. I bought the expansion upon hitting level 50 expecting to move on to Ishgard, etc etc. Turns out I still had to play through all the irrelevant lv50 content, but in the meantime of doing that I grew bored of the game and had no interest in Heavensward, hence getting a refund. Kinda felt scammed.

Such a shame. I was pretty excited when I hit lv50, but doing endless fetch quests for virtually no reward (4k exp at lv50) for over a month really killed the game for me.

They made it well known that you would have to do all 2.X content before even getting to Heavensward content months before the expansion came out.

I didn't play "months before the expansion came out". I played for 2 or 3 weeks. And no where on their website did they make it known.

In order to enjoy the benefits of early access to Heavensward content, you need to be playing FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn and have made sufficient progress in the main scenario. As such, early access will not be available to new players who pre-order the FINAL FANTASY XIV Online all-in-one bundle and have yet to begin their adventures.

Less then 5 minutes google and read to a link mentioning early access not the actual expansion itself. GJ!
As for the OP's complaint (or rather: lament) is not the issue of doing earlier content, but how very dull it is. (dull+ long)

BOOM! Also using the word "sufficient" was weak of them. They should have said players must have completed ALL of the MSQ.

early access of the expansion is the same as the expansion w/o early access itself

"sufficient progress in the main scenario" isn't very descriptive. Considering I had saved the world by lv50, one would think I have made sufficient progress.

that s why I said to google more, didn't I ? I link as to answer the thing you said about SE don't mention about the MSQ on any of their site.

In an MMO where the story isn't as connected and each expansion starts as essentially a new story, probably. I'd think that by level 50 though you'd have picked up on how important story progression is in this game, so 2.1 to 2.5 being used to tell the story that connects 2.0 to 3.0 should not have come as a surprise.

Technically, the start of the story for Ishgard begins around level 35 or so when you first visit Coerthas...it's much more like the next chapter in a book rather than the next story in a collection of short stories (which is the more common approach in MMO expansions).

Then it would of been wise to google and see what needed to be done, riiiiiiiight?
Not sure what's the rush.
Rushing to HW is nothing amazing. You get a better story, bigger places and flight and some jobs.
Then you'd just do the same ol'. I'd say stay in ARR and have fun with all the content there. There's barely non to be had in HW.
You woulda been bored either way. New players should enjoy the game instead of being where everyone else is at, and where we are, a lot are bored.
Ooooh well.
