    Furthermore, if someone's five years late to the party I don't care what they miss in the storyline; they should start with a free 60 and look back at the cutscenes for what they were too late to catch. Too many of them get stuck in a treadmill of trying to optimize their road to 60 buff, leveling everything and understanding none of it, and get burnt out before they ever play the actual game.
    I think that is a bit harsh to be content with new players quitting like that. At the end of the day, as long as the newbies get to experience cutscenes when they first get into the 8-man dungeons, everyone respects each other, and everyone gets rewarded with tomes and stuff. Everyone wins one way or another. I believe in the "Everyone wins" mentality of completing stuff when working as a team. In addition, little things and rewards gained goes a long way for me.

    If people want to learn how to optimize whatever role they are playing, it's a gradual experience that they must choose for themselves. The Balance Discord is one option to choose among many others.
