Thread: Best way to do the 2.0-2.55 Story to access Ishgard?

While this is all well and good... it kinda falls flat on those whose main goal is getting access to a particular job. It's not a matter of wanting to rush through content to end game. It's literally just wanting to play the game on the class we want. :/

RMT is everywhere in this game. The gate has definitely not hurt RMT. I get 30+ spam tells every play session.

Thank god. Doesn't change the issues with the current HW gate, but at least they saw reason there.

The content gate is literally doing nothing to stop RMT.

Again, dislike for the gating doesn't tend to involve wanting to "rush through to the end". For a lot of people it's more like wanting to be able to experience the book in the room that they would feel most comfortable in, but they're not allowed to read the book in their desired room until they've finished reading it in a very uncomfortable, less-desired room. Oh gosh I broke my personal rule against internet analogies. I apologize. More straightforward: People want to experience the game on the class they enjoy. Locking classes away and forcing them to experience the game from an undesired perspective doesn't really help them enjoy it.

I would suggest finding a FC not just for progressing the story, but to have people to socialize with!
It's always a better time in an MMO when you have someone else to chill out with.

There's a lot of fluff to the main scenario quests, nobody will deny that. It gets really good near the end of the 2.x stuff but while you're slogging through some of the more mundane fetch quests, having a group of people to talk with is surely going to keep you engaged a bit more, and thus more interested in the game as a whole.
