    Here's what I don't get though. The MSQs are an extremely fast and painless way to level your first job. The people wanting to rush to endgame would do so very effectively by simply rushing through the MSQs and skipping cutscenes if they wish to. Whether you like the story or simply want to rush to endgame the MSQ is still the best route for your first job with no armoury bonus. Having the option to skip the MSQ would result in these players taking much longer to reach endgame and thus defeating the entire reason they wanted to skip the MSQ. It makes no sense.

And I didn't have the benefits of Hall of Novice or PotD to boost those EXP gains. While painless in a sense, it's still faster to spam PotD and fates than the MSQ because you can stay in one area and just grind. A skip potion would probably put someone at the lowest level that expansion allows too. The Chinese version put you at 50 since Heavensward quests require it.
