    Since when have they ever been in hiding. Have you done the daily finder, and have a new player others are trying to kick because they are learning.

    In OPs case for example: was it the setting you didnt like and you hope you'll like the SB one better? Or the characters?
    I have 4 characters done with msq (plus another currently working through 3.0), and after so many playthroughs I have the current story pretty much memorized. Come SB, my newer rp chararcters can hit the ground running - I never have to slog through 2.X's 7,483,478 fetchquests to get to Ishgard again ;w;

    Thats a reason I can understand - when you've seen the story, maybe even multiple times, skipping it doesnt seem to "harmful". I mean, using my logic you wouldnt skip something you dont like in that case...

    (not that I really understand the need for multiple alts either, but I'm not a RPer after all xD)

    There are so many QoL updates that I have been hoping for and they did not materialize. I am willing to get Stormblood a go but yet again we have to complete the stupid story to get to a new zone in the expansion. It would be nice to start at an expansion and just play in the new content once you hit the level.
    Boost potions will be available next Friday, 6/16/2017. You could easily grind for levels through POTD. If you want to play in the new expansion right away, you could also purchase the MSQ boost potion which lets you completes all of HW and ARR msq and starts you off right where SB begins. So $25 for a job boost potion and $25 for a msq potion plus $40 for the expansion lets you enjoy the expansion from day 1.

    Fates, Palace of the Dead, and Pre level 50 (non hw jobs) there is the hunt log. Plenty of ways to level and also best if you can to have a full group of friends to run dungeons.
    I can understand some may not like to do story, but do not agree with the actually leveling potions but could also are less if people use it as long as they take the time to learn stuff

    Well, if you've already done the MSQ once, most people are not inclined to do it again but also want to enjoy playing on Alt characters. So, could be along the same with the job quests. Apart from those, it'll be for the people who are too lazy/don't want to actually read anything who will want to do those. But they will miss a lot of stuff. I wonder if it'll force you to do the dungeons though.

    The game is not just story, and some people don't care about it at all, so they'd not skip it to get to more story but to get to the endgame, whatever that is for everyone. Raiding contains no story, RP contains no story (or no story quests), glamour contains no story, just playing with friends contains no story.

    This is an mmo, so you should never think about things that affect the whole playerbase from a point of "i enjoyed that" and "i don't care about this", but rather as "do people enjoy this" and "do most people really want that" o/
    while we're at it don't say stuff about game design because you know about network technology because you don't and too many people think that's all to it, not for the quote but peope on teh forum in general

    Well for me, I am slightly considering using it so I can make a true alt character without having to do all that stuff again. Occasionally, I'd also like to play as a different race without having to buy a fantasia every time! ...which is why I'd like to make an alt, and one that doesn't have to do all that story stuff and the stuff gated behind it. I enjoy the story stuff, don't get me wrong, but that doesn't mean I want to do everything again just to have access to the same stuff as my main. /shrug
