I will never do anything that someone else feels is best if it conflicts with my current interests in the game. When I subscribed, several members of my FC were already set and ready to give me high level help to get me to HW asap, and I outright refused each and every one of them.

I honestly just look at it as my own cross to bare. Had I joined the game several years ago, I would have been able to enjoy the content as others have before me, and I can't expect older players to run these things with me the way I would like to do them, but I can appreciate those who do, and they are out there.

I am actually almost done with the things I wanted to do before going to HW. Just have to wrap up a dozen MSQs and finish my zodiac weapon. And after spending 7-8 months in ARR, I am really looking forward to the HW expansion. It's a whole other game really, and not speeding my way there in 4-8 weeks will not only help me appreciate HW even more, it will seriously create some nostalgic pillars for ARR.
