As a new player that really likes this game ...

[Nicodemus_Mercy]

I only told the truth that a section of the player base does not care about how others enjoy to play the game if lore is involved. Some how it would ruin your game play if a player could go to ishgard at level 1. Never did I say remove MSQ, just the gates.



Who complained about not having anything to do? The story is primary content? Serious, no seriously??(that is actually how i would ask you in real life with a shocked look on my face) I can not consider something primary with such a low ratio of game play. You and probably most of the posters in this thread haven't done a MSQ in weeks if not longer. Yet you have logged in and played. If the MSQ was primary it would eclipse other content in game play. The only way it does is the fact that the other game play is gated behind it. Half the defenders probably wouldn't even do the MSQ if they could open all other content some other way.

The stories are the entire foundation upon which the game is built. It's ludicrous to deny that. "Low ratio"? Seriously? There is more main story (and side story) content in FFXIV than there is any other type. Add all the dungeons, all the raids, all fates, all the pvp, all the crafting/gathering, and it still won't hold a candle to the amount of story content. Heck the raids and dungeons are tied intrinsically to main and side stories.

The stories ARE the game.

Just because people would take the quickest path of least resistance to get what they want doesn't mean that they should or that the developers should encourage it.
