Possible level/story jumps....really?

Why can't they just remove the lock on the lvl 50 quest going into Ishgard? You can still have it you need to level from 1 to 50 and learn how to play your class. Removing the need to do the quests seems fair to me, especially if you're like some people I know who don't give an utter toss about you, any NPC or the dungeons. All they want to do is gathering and professions. :P

They could just make it you have to level to 30 and do the main arc until you're a Scion and you have your battle-chicken; after that you're free to further your goals with them, or help the nation via dungeons, gathering,the grand company etc... That, and you don't get any of the mounts, mini-pets or titles unless you do the story. That way anyone who did do the entire story arc is still a spesheru snowflake-u!

It keeps the bots out and as long as SE keeps implementing requirements to enter new expansion areas, eventually the Gil sellers will find it harder to sell Gil because the new items will be the more demanding and not Gil. Perhaps they introduce a new type of currency in 4.0 Gil seller will never be able to get their hands on it with their bots. I hope 4.0 has some kind of restriction to prevent bots from entering like 3.0 does.

Not seeing a bot in 3.0 is nice, no one spamming for you to buy their Gil.

I said remove the 50 lock, the bots are still going to have to do the entire quest chain and learn every single flight pathin each zone. ¬_'
