New player catch up..

[Wakwak]

I have played on and off for a while and have gotten most of the MSQ done up to probably 3.3 or so. I had stopped playing for a while before heavensward released and hopped back in to try out new content and had to finished all of the MSQ to even unlock the new content. (100 or so MSQ to get through to unlock the new stuff).

Is this still the way it is? or have they changed some things to where you can get to the new stuff without having to go through the outdated/obsolete dungeons and primal kills. I got a friend to play for the first time (hit level 10 last night) and Im just curious how much he will have to do to get caught up and be able to play with my main. I know SE loves there stories and want everyone to experience it but that is a lot to have to do to just play with your friends. Now they will have to go through all the Heavensward stuff to unlock the new stuff for Stormblood expansion as well?


Sorry for the run on post about something that could have been a very quick question.
