First and foremost, my apologies to the forum as I was attempting to refrain from typing things over and over again. When you say you tried something and everyone tells you to try it again, or people just plain don't read your question, it does get frustrating.
So again, my apologies. I meant no disrespect to the members of the forum or those that are looking for answers. It is my wish that this information helps others.
I hope this thread helps anyone else who is having the same problem. I am not the only one.
Here's the thing... I have taken my time going through the game. I was a tester back in the prerelease days. So I have been at it for a long time. I read the patch notes and try to really have fun with the game.
I upgraded to HW because I wanted to continue upgrading my gathering and crafting classes while I take my time finishing the MSQ. That is same reason I recently upgraded to Stormblood. I like those classes a lot and seem to upgrade them way faster.
