New Player Experience Sucks! - Impending Expansion Problems

[NanaWiloh]

Honestly, I can relate, as someone who has a sister who can't and won't return to the game because of the same reason. It's a shame because there are many ways to fix it - for example making each expansion separate so that you can take your time or, blasphemy, being able to make it optional - but let's be totally honest here: they won't many any changes. They have realized how big of a potential money grab is the story skip and level skip potion and the fanbase will always protect this practice by saying "Oh but it's a final fantasy, it has to have a story, you can't play the new expansion without doing the previous one", so I'm afraid nothing will change: if anything it'll get worse and worse.

I mean all I can say in response is "So you'd be fine if Witcher 3 was locked behind the first two games, because you have to play the first games in order to understand it".
You can replace the Witcher 3 game with anything even movies, but as you might've guessed you can play any sequel game in any order...sure you lose some story parts if you don't play a previous installment but the choice is yours.

PS: Oh and if someone might say that "these are expansions not sequels" then I guess people forgot that SWTOR allows you to skip expansions and directly go to the last ones.

News flash FF14,WoW,eq, rift all have the same option for reaching current content. 1. Level up the old fashion way 2. Buy some kind of boost or skip draw back they put you at the cap of the previous expansion, EQ brings you with in about 20-30 levels of the current cap.
Note: corrected about where they place you..
