I'm new to Final Fantasy 14, I am currently a level 29 marauder (no max level characters). I understand that I have to complete the level 50 story line to start the expansion. Just a couple questions.

1) How much time will it take to complete? Just a general estimate.

2) Do you believe that it will be easy-ish to complete (with regards to finding groups)?

3) Is the new expansion worth the effort (in your opinion) to play?
1) If you put something of a rush on it, the content up to Heavensward should last roughly 3-4 weeks. This assumes you do things outside following just the main story from the word go. Personally, I would recommend taking a leisure approach. The story is quite good and there is plenty to do, be it side quests, crafting or unlocking dungeons. You'll enjoy the game much more if you take your time with it.

2) It very much depends on the world your in. I'm on Aether/Balmung and rarely have issues getting queues at prime hours. You may see some longer ones for some story content, but speaking only from my own experiences, it hasn't been too bad as a DPS. Being a Tank, you should have even less trouble with queues.

3) I have yet to reach it myself, however friends in my FC just did recently and have raved about it. The story and voice acting really steps up. So I'm excited for it myself.
