Is this the norm for mmos

[Krokov]

You have different people different goals as it were. There are those who want to quickly rush through everything and we'll to be able to get to end game as soon as possible. Those are usually the ones that raid and Etc dedicated Raiders I should say. And then you have those that just take it in stride and let their own pace and have fun. My would say play how you want to if you want to rush go right ahead if you want to take at your own pace and joy main story Side Story etcetera just play how you want to play enjoy it how you want to whatever gives you the most enjoyment for your time.

Thats the thing Im of both minds I guess I really dont want to rush the msq , but I feel the longer I wait to finish the harder I make it on myself to do the new extreme primals or attempt raiding. I did take my time in hw , it was mixed results, I cleared all the primals but one (zurvan), and even did some raiding but part of me felt like if I kept up with everyone else my experience would of been better.

I cleared but never really got to farm status, Im just worried if I wait a month to do say the three new primals that perfection will already be established in the pf , and Id just be starting to learn them for the first time. I guess when everything is locked behind msq its like you have to chose to enjoy the story or rush to endgame.

Take your time. You can always make your own PFs. I was doing it for Zurvan Ex until like 3 days before Stormblood Early Access. I got to it about 2 weeks after patch launch. It is possible to catch up. Also, see if you can join an FC that likes doing old content (synced preferably of course, so you can experience it closer to how it was). It's not the end of the world being late. But you're more likely to have fights spoiled.

Quite normal. You have those who don't read quest text or npc dialog, which by the way after most cut scenes you should talk to any scion or near by npc as they tend to have additional dialog, or are people that want to get to the end game content for one reason or another. It does not mean you should rush. Enjoy the content for what it is there for and you will get there eventually.
