any1 else ready to boost to level 60 and skip story?

[Temjiu]

Im gonna skip. not because I want 0-60. I already got 2 60's and a few in their mid 50's. I'm not doing the job boost for obvious reasons, just unlocking the new content. why? because I joined to check out the new material. I finished HW MSQ back when it first released. I came back because they are fixing (IMO) my favorite class, the bard. and I don't feel like having to do the same grind I did with the MSQ post 50. I'll go back and enjoy the cutscenes at my leisure, and pick up on the new story with everyone else.

I don't mind the leveling at all, especially if your starting on a new server (or low pop server) it will be crazy fast. What I don't feel like doing is 3 patches worth of MSQ that will make me talk to 20 different people then send me to a HM dungeon (that I don't have the gear or gil for). even if i was starting at level one I'd still get the potion to boost the story. well, honestly, I'd probably do the story up to lvl 50 base (a.k.a 2.0) since it helps leveling anyways, then scoot ahead. HW is a fun story, but if you add that into the MSQ post 50 in ARR it tends to make your eyes bleed.

EDIT: Hope this helps albinosmurf. It's not just the quests, it's the grind to get to 230 to do the involved dungeons that will take time. unless you have plenty of GIL and/or rich FC buddies. in your state (new-ish player) you probably don't. There's a small possibility that the vendor white gear they offer in the new areas will be tradeable, or perhaps the new white craftable gear cheap (doubt it). you may be able to skip the ilvl grind with those resources.

Or if your like me, just level to 60 and spend 25-ish on the unlock potion and call it good.

EDIT EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the story. But even as a story oriented person, I got so tired of the "run hither and thither" quests in 2.x that I lost track of the story because I simply got tired of talking to 5 different people in the same room, then traveling to 3 different points to talk to 3 different people, then traveling back with little to no reward only to find out that I'm 20 Ilvl's too low in my gear to progress to the next step in the MSQ.
